2019 Recruiting Thread

Exit 4 said:
Everyone want good news? Cam Ross has updated his twitter profile to indicate he is coming to UConn. Many of us thought when Edsall said he was sitting on a couple of signed LOIs he cannot talk about we thought it applied to Ross and possibly Rian Haigler. Looks like Ross didn't want to hide any longer.

Cam Ross has an underrated senior tape. Sigh of relief we have landed an athletic WR.

btw - Haigler's account still says nothing about UConn - but it also says virtually nothing about any other personal recruiting which I take as a good sign.

Ross is fast! Also he's smart enough to come back or turn up on broken plays depending on the situation. This is a real nice get for us.

@huskymedic @Exit 4 When deWeaver left Storrs, any reason to believe he still had an official offer?

I guess anything is possible from a “not clicking w/ staff” perspective but I haven’t heard/seen anything that said he didn’t still hold an offer.

ODU? ODU? How many times can I say ODU?
How does someone turn down UConn for ODU? What division do they play in? Are they a Power Five? Is he thinking he'll be playing in the National Championship game in the next year or two by going to ODU? What would attract a player to ODU over UConn?
Sorry if I seem annoyed at this kind of stuff.

These recruits look at the world through a vastly different lens than you do.
 
Still unusually for two JUCO quarterbacks to attend the same school at the same time

Yeah but the starting QB and the backup QB aren’t returning and Wilder/Whitcomb have put an unheralded QB in the NFL - that might have been intriguing to them. They obviously both think they can win the job.
 
I’d not look to far into the messiah signing. Besides, it’s time for Washington and krajewski to step up and lead this team. Let’s focus on big boys, speed on outside, a rb and hitters in back 7 as we fill out this class.
 
Raykwon Anderson is at Georgia State this weekend but new frontrunner Colorado State grabbed a visit for 25 Jan. :(

He's a better fit here than either of those schools..

Losing him (if we had him to begin with) sucks a little. I'm more "upset" that Mazotti most likely won't even take a visit out to Storrs....but based on some of his tweets it seems a school in Cali is where he will end up so he can be happy regardless of playing time.

Ludd seems to make the most sense. Maybe Wheeler

I know deyvon wright switched to db his senior year where he was very effective and lead his team into the post season. He received an offer to ASA in Brooklyn - juco recently. Maybe he has academic issues because he doesn’t seem to have any FBS offers after a good season and lots attention as a sophomore and junior.

Witter has committed to BC. 247 still hasn’t updated.

I don’t think the others had the great senior seasons to get FBS offers. Maybe they get a late offer in the last few weeks ahead.
 


Jacob Busic is a 6-4 250lb DL/TE from Westminster High School in Westminster Maryland. Other offers from Army, Delaware State, Elon, Fordham, Holy Cross, Howard, Kent State, Lafayette, Lehigh, Navy, Sacred Heart, Towson, UMass, Villanova, William&Mary and WMU.

Highlights
 
These next 2 weekends will be vital to us filling out the remainder of our recruiting class...I hope to see us get 9 or 10 more commits come signing day (2/6/19)....

Perhaps you can enlighten us as to just what motivates them.
Is it the academics at ODU?
The league they play in?
Is it the three NFL players from ODU?
Just what lens might they be filtering their offers through?
