Lindsey Witten-esque. Tall wirery frame to add some muscle.

Welp... tough to flip a Texas kid.

True, but what I said was “Richardson hasn’t really moved up a notch in FL”. Status quo or less hasn’t worked real well for us. Hopefully, he can reel in some playmakers at the time table you indicate.

Methinks

You missed the highly productive 2003-2009 Florida period. I would give you the long list ... but you can actually do research on that yourself. So status quo would be darn good. We shall see.

He's a much better fit for us

Another perfect fit up in Storrs. Hope this is the real deal come Wednesday. Also would be a pleasant surprise to have his juco teammate sign on the dotted line too.

Jeff Woods - 6'6'' 263lb DE/OT/TE from Fayetteville NC. Recently he de-committed from ECU after the coaching change. TOS reports he is visiting Storrs this weekend.

Methinks you're failing to realize that productive period was Literally Ten Years Ago

Jack Zergiotis 6'2'' (198lb) QB from Montreal area receives an offer during his visit this weekend. Edsall and others had been following Jack for a long while, maybe as far back as mid summer.

So he's related to Bouknight?

Craft beer where your mouth is

Terry Richardson - imho - is still strong in South Florida relationships. I think he will, once again, bring 2-4 kids the last two weeks of January. And they will be solid. 10 years ago or today. He’s got it

The question mark on this staff is Wholley, Smith, Cox and the 2 Line Guys. Edsall 1.0 had a trio of great regional recruiters. I don’t see that.

That's a lot of question marks.

That's a lot of question marks.

Yup. I honestly loved the components and backgrounds HCRE 2.0 brought in. They are the right age. And they have scoured the Northeast - and important markets. To date ... I don’t see the product.

Todd Orlando brought in lots of WPA. Rob Ambrose MD. Mike Foley MA. Even Hughes had Canadian friends.

We need massive infusion of talent. One thing changed: Graduate transfers. Get us 4 solid starting lineup prospects who are 22 and we have something.

Hungry for good news? One time UNC commit Rayqwon Anderson was up this weekend. Corey was been working this one for a while. Anderson would bring us some wiggle and speed.

Kevin Hester Jr to UNC. Big man that could play DE, DT or TE. Staff tried hard on Hester, but kid had a good offer list.
