No surprise. Good luck to this kid!

 

[huskymedic]

Kinda surprised... maybe he just wants out of CT.

This is BS. Villanova's accounting department is superior to UConn's? By what criteria?
Plus, soon the football will be better here too, won't it? Please say yes.
Must be he wanted to get out of Dodge.

MERRY CHRISTMAS (Part 1) guys!!!!

So far, the good, we got a few surprise commits in Brown, Zergiotis, and Bell, along with the nice DL transfer in Hinton.
The bad... Malik Jackson... we needed him bad, but Maryland's his dream school and they finally offered.. which sucks..

Hopeful for: Mazotti out of CA... Would be a nice pick up to replace Jackson.. Yeah, he's a QB, but he's also a heck of an athlete. Translates well (most of the time) to TE with that kind of size...

 

[ktuck911]

Kinda surprised... maybe he just wants out of CT.

Congrats to him.. best wishes... NEXT!

We knew this all along.. best wishes to him.. NEXT!

LOVE this commit... He's gonna turn heads... You can move him all around up front on D for us... he's gotta a great first step too... His frat is (was when I was there) on the yard (Alpha Phi Alpha - Kappa Delta Chapter)... a no brainer for UConn football.. looking forward to him (and Dillon Harris) help provide immediate help for us on D and #LevelUp

Rumor has it Cam Ross was not planning to sign until Feb. Maybe he's had a change of heart. Gave the Bell commitment a like and has updated his profile pic for his UConn photo.

Watch his senior season HUDL tape. Nice improvement over his junior campaign. Looks like a quality WR.

He should just commit NOW... what is he waiting for??? He's the kind of impact player we need .. He'll definitely help us at WR right away.. He makes plays.. He's YAC guy too... runs nice routes... solid hands.. We need that... Being on the bottom of the totem pole has hindered us, yes, but, he should see the opportunity to be a part of something special here...

 

[ktuck911]

Another HUGE signing for our D.. Immediate impact player we desparately need...

I truly hope we're not done.. Hoping for 1 or 2 more....

I know Ailym Ford has his signing day at 10.

Done - for now...

 

[YoungFree]

Done - for now...

So I would take that as Ford will not be signing with us this morning and HCRE isn't expecting any more signees this period...?

Press Conference @ 11:00 on UConn Football Facebook May yield more clues.

 

[YoungFree]

Very positive and optimistic presser...better vibe than last year's presser. We need more positive, optimistic pressers from HCRE to get players to sign. I'm gonna give HCRE an A- on this presser.

Well this is very significant and fits the narrative for Rian Haigler and Cam Ross signing. Cam Ross would be very significant and take pressure off finding playmakers.

Edsall says he has signed a few players he can't talk about as they plan signing events in February. Signed already with UConn, though.

If we signed Ross and can get a couple P5 musical chairs guys it'll be a good class which is nice for once

He also mentioned that we could sign a couple more this week.

Ailym Ford update

 

[Exit 4]

Ford opted for Chattanooga. Let's see who is offered next for the RB position. I have been told Juwon Jackson is on the short list.

Ailym Ford update

Looked quick and thought crap - Wake Forest!

Yeah I wouldn’t have been shocked by that. Well I mean we knew it was down to UConn and the mocs
