2019 Recruiting Thread

[Exit 4]

Ugwu holds a UConn offer and Stanley King has been to UConn Camp/Game.

Road to national signing day (Feb. 6): Who are N.J.'s best available N.J. high school senior football recruits? Zamar Wise, Brian Ugwu, Tyler Devera, more

We are noted as involved with just one dude. Thanks Crocker.

Yeah... the one w/ the 990 SAT score

Not defending Crocker but Todd has a long time habit of excluding UConn offers/interest in his write-ups. He does a really good job covering NJ HS Football - It just is what it is w/ him when it comes to UConn.

Messiah deWeaver is a 6-5 220 lb QB from Huber Heights Ohio attending East Mississippi CC after transferring from Michigan State. Other offers from Akron, CMU, Louisiana, ODU, Southern Miss, Toledo and WKU.

Love that offer. Kid was highly rated coming out of HS.

Love that offer. Kid was highly rated coming out of HS.

Initial offer list coming out of HS (Arkansas, BGSU, Cincinnati, Duke, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Toledo and Western Kentucky) and his current offer list Akron, CMU, Louisiana, ODU, Southern Miss, Toledo, UConn and Western Kentucky) begs asking the question what changed...

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Initial offer list coming out of HS versus his current offer list begs asking the question what changed...

Messiah: If to be, or not to be, is the question. Alas, what is the answer? TBD

 

[Buffett10]

Also not bad to offer a National champ at QB. His fumbles are concerning though

 

[gioff2323]

Are we allowed to have a messiah in the huddle

It will be interesting to see how the recruitment of Brendan Devera unfolds now that he has resolution on his criminal case. Devera looked like we was coming to UConn under Edsall's recruitment in 2017 before taking a late offer from Rutgers. He's had a good fall at ASA in Brooklyn resulting in #4 ranking for JUCO LBs by Gridiron. He is the only top 10 JUCO LB in their ranking w/o a home. His brother Tyler is a TE that went into his senior HS season this fall with big expectations for multiple p5 offers which have not materialized. Right now Tyler's best offer is UMass. I think the current leader in the clubhouse would be for both to end up at UMass.

Brendan could give us real beef and fire at the MLB position. However, I have no idea if his character has improved and if he would be a + in the locker room. From what I hear, the UConn football team is in need of some talented dudes with good character that are also coachable.

Rutgers football: 8 players charged in credit-card fraud scheme apply for PTI

After his dismissal from Rutgers, Devera attended ASA College in Brooklyn. The linebacker out of Wayne Hills High School has attracted interest from FBS-level programs after earning All-Northeast Football Conference second-team honors for the junior-college football team.

“He played at ASA College and he did quite well,’’ Ron Ricci, Devera’s attorney, said. “If everything works out with the PTI (acceptance) he hopes to enroll in the fall to play football. Where that is he doesn’t know yet. Schools are waiting to see this case resolved. But right now we’re satisfied with how the case is moving forward.’’

Exit 4 ..What was the outcome of the court case the other day on Devera?
And wasnt he a Diaco recruit/offer and when edsall came in to go over all the Diaco recruits didn’t he not extend the offer?
I think Edsall went over all the recruits who were offered by the Diaco staff and kept a few and recinded others..

I’m pretty sure devera was on a path to Delaware before Rutgers stepped in with that offer.

Hey huskymedic I noticed that WR David Clayton isn't on your list. According to Twitter he posted that we offered him.

Good point - Huskymedic posted that we offered him too...

David Clayton is a 6-0 170lb WR from Grapevine High School in Grapevine Texas. Other offers from Abilene Christian, Angelo State, Central Arkansas, Colorado State, Hawaii, Lamar, Missouri State, New Mexico State and Northeastern State.

Highlights

Guessing he fell victim to a sloppy cut and paste move. Standby...

Exit 4 ..What was the outcome of the court case the other day on Devera?
And wasnt he a Diaco recruit/offer and when edsall came in to go over all the Diaco recruits didn’t he not extend the offer?
I think Edsall went over all the recruits who were offered by the Diaco staff and kept a few and recinded others..

Any logical reason why we wouldn't have gone after and offered a lot of the Rutgers and Temple decommits?

 

[gioff2323]

Any logical reason why we wouldn't have gone after and offered a lot of the Rutgers and Temple decommits?

Don’t assume. The staff is going very quiet on the recruiting path in an effort to keep out others from poaching.

I’m not sure I’ve seen many (if any) Temple decommits... We offered Youngblood when he already held a Temple offer.

Incredible timing Medic because Zaylin Wood (DL from GA) just decommitted moments ago!

Everyone watch his tape and tell me he is not underrated. Mike Z started following a couple days ago. I hope we are working this one.

Wonder if Collins’s has eyes on the State kid? Rumored to be visiting Iowa State after dead period... maybe he can squeeze in a visit to Storrs.
