2019 Recruiting Thread

[huskymedic]

I've been creeping on the boards and not posting lately....school has me swamped and focused on stuff.

All that said, I don't remember reading that we have scholarships left....am I wrong?

You're wrong ... we have more than a couple.

Interesting... wonder if scholarship or PWO offer? Believe he recently accepted/considering a PWO role w/ UMass. Nationally ranked wrestler - kid's a brawler. Low risk/big upside if he ends up on campus.



Jesse Polansky is a 6-3 300lb OL/DL from Wallingford CT attending Suffield Academy. Other offers from Cornell, Fordham, UMass (?PWO) and Yale. Held/holds Michigan offer early on as well. Sister is headed to Utah State on basketball scholarship.

Thanks medic. I feel like ever since I got into school I only have time to creep and it doesn't appear that I am doing it all that well.

Greg Campbell is 6-5 225lbs from Welland Ontario Canada, (York University Lions Profile has him listed a DL @ 6-4 250lbs) Assuming he is 2019 recruit.

Highlights.

Just gonna drop this here for some background on this lad...

Quite a story and background there. He sounds alot like Vontae Diggs in a way. Sacrifice and determination. A hardworking kid that won't quit. Where ever he ends up, I wish him and his family the best.

 

[Scrutineer]

He doesn't look big until you realize the size of Deondre Doiron, but hard to imagine he weighed over 300 pounds in the ninth grade.

Would be a great addition at a position of need. Thought something was up - like a visit given his twitter activity. Hope he pulls the trigger.

Ideal fit with us, IMO... IF Edsall has this team circling the wagons now (like during his first stint), he's clearly a perfect fit... just hope, if he comes, he stays healthy...If so, our D is probably gonna be fun to watch again...

He won't know more until April 1st, but is a hard worker and I wouldn't mind him coming to Storrs as a young man who is trying to make his dream come true. Of course I would like to know more about his actually ability to play at this level.

DJ Morgan is 6-3 225lb grad transfer from ND.

Wonder if we will also see Devin Studstill visit. Devin racked up 56 tackles at safety for ND as a freshman and sophomore before getting passed over last year. Devin is a grad transfer with one year of eligibility. Edsall and Zyskowski are following Devin on twitter.

Notre Dame safety Devin Studstill to transfer

My guess is that we still would like to land a TE, DE, LB, WR, DB and perhaps even a QB as grad transfers. At least those are the grad transfer positions we seem to be following on twitter.

And twitter tea leaves indicating that Andrew Strauch who has been a four year back up kicker/punter at UCLA might be UConn bound.

To me, if you’re a kid like Morgan who has NFL aspirations you would want to go to a place where you can stay on the field and get as much snaps as possible. Definitely biased but immediately playing time potential at UConn has to be appealing to him. And it doesn’t hurt that Spanos is a LB guy

He sounds very enhusiactic! Hope he can play.

Went to the same high school as Daniel Hamilton.

Fantastic!! Experienced leadership at LB

 

[Exit 4]

Next on the shopping list - a JUCO or Grad TE. So far the staff has chased many to no avail.

 

[UConnRock]

Morgan also has 2 years of eligibility. Even better

Thanks for posting. Thought this was coming. Wonder if this is as a PWO or as a scholarship.

Kid has some ability - could develop over time.
