Message: [QUOTE="Exit 4, post: 3005116, member: 2268"] 16 days until the second NLI signing period arrives on Wed Feb 6th. That means there are only two recruiting weekends left. If we don't have any attrition via transfers/early exits (which would be a surprise as we always have some churn even in the best of times), we have 7 open scholarships to fill (that assumes Beavers does not transfer). A quick handicapping of the known outstanding offers: [LIST=1] [*]Nazir Burnett (WR/DB) - Bishop McDevitt High School, Harrisburg, PA (Syracuse Commit 8/3/18>Decommit 11/5/18) [B][I]<--Looks like a George Tech lean. No chance here for UConn.[/I][/B] [*]Darrin(DJ) Smith[URL='https://www.hudl.com/video/3/5494508/59c1f2924bb288297c534a52'] [/URL](RB) - Lone Star High School, Frisco Texas (UConn Commit 5/10/18>Decommit 6/17/18) [B][I]<--Wants TT, might end up at FIU....difficult one to guess as anything is possible. [/I][/B] [*]Jared Harrison-Hunte (DL/TE) - Christ the King High School, Middle Village NY. [B][I]<--Haven't paid attention, he's way above our reach.[/I][/B] [*]Brian Ugwa (RB/LB) - Hillside High School, Hillside New Jersey [B][I]<--Surprisingly quiet. Temple seemed to be the choice, then coaching chaos delayed everything in December. Pitt/Temple/Rutty all in play. Very athletic. Played in a HS showcase game this past weekend. Said he was going to take some OV in Jan, but hasn't made plans public. On twitter he hasn't given anything away, no likes, no hints, no nothing since mid December. Lots of new P5 interest, but no announcements.[/I][/B] [*]Raykwon Anderson (DB/Athlete) - Charlton County High School, Folkston Georgia (North Carolina Commit 7/13/18>Decommit 12/2/18) [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--Radio silent since the 247 story which discussed UConn as the leading choice with App St as an alternative. Corey still working this one.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]Kenny Logan (Athlete) - Pedro Menendez High School, St Augustine Florida [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--I thought this one was well out of reach, since he had big time offers going into his senior season including FSU and Auburn. After his senior year however big time interest has cooled. Maybe USF and FIU are in the lead, but hard to interpret what is really going on here. We offered a long time ago, but I see Corey continues to interact with Logan. Maybe something happens here.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]Trayvon Moss (WR/LB) - Victory Christian School, Tulsa Oklahoma [I][B]<--[/B][/I][B][I]Not sure what is going on here[/I][/B] [*]DJ Green (CB/RB/ATH) - Wharton High School, Tampa Florida [I][B]<--[/B][/I][B][I]Not sure what is going on here,[/I][/B] [*]Kevens Clercius (WR/DB) - Montreal Canada (UConn Commit 8/1/18 - but no longer holds offer) [*]Rian Haigler (OL) - St John’s College High School, Washington DC [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--We are his best offer. He seems to have shut down recruiting upon receipt of our offer. I think he has signed, but his HS is holding back the announcement like they did with Cam Ross until 2/6[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]Steven Linton (TE/DE/LB) - Dublin High School, Dublin Georgia [B][I]<--Way out of reach.[/I][/B] [*]Wyatt Hummel (OL) - Jesuit Dallas High School, Dallas Texas [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--Been quiet, but did visit Villanova this past weekend.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]Brett Seither (TE/WR)- Clearwater Central Catholic, Clearwater Florida [B][I]<--Way of out reach.[/I][/B] [*]Matt Drayton (WR/DB) - Raines High School, Jacksonville Florida [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--Visited, didn't commit. Not sure what happened here as he remains uncommitted.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]Zakhari Franklin (WR) - Cedar Hill High School, Cedar Hill Texas [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--Quiet, don't get any vibes there is mutual interest. Could be surprised though.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]Dominick Mazotti (QB/Athlete) - Amador Valley High School, Pleasanton CA [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--Visited UMass this weekend, with either us or San Diego next weekend. Would be a great get, looks like he wants to be a leader.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]William Rogers (OL/DL) - Lovejoy High School, Hampton Georgia [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--Visited FIU this past weekend. No word if he will visit UConn.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]Joseph Appiah Darkwa (DL) - Düsseldorf Germany [B][I]<--No chance.[/I][/B] [*]David Clayton (WR) - Grapevine High School, Grapevine Texas [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--Tulsa has stepped up with an offer. I think its been us and Tulsa. This might be tough.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]Jacob Busic (DL/TE) - Westminster High School, Westminster Maryland [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--I would think we would get a visit. No word yet however.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]Zach VanValkenburg (DL) - Hudsonville,Michigan attending/graduating from Hillsdale College, Hillsdale Michigan [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]<--I would think we get a visit. Buffalo and San Jose is the competition. Like Fines, as two years of eligibility remaining.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [*]Joshua Youngblood (ATH) - Berkeley Prep, Tampa Florida (Temple Commit (July 2018) @ time of offer) [B][I]<--Visited Kansas St last weekend, BC this past weekend. UConn is not in play. [/I][/B] One other recruit of note is Dalmonte Gourdine 6'6'' 260lb DL from SC who visited UConn this past weekend. Presumably we have offered, but nothing has been published by the recruit. Gourdine visits Tulane and Rutgers over the final two weekends before making a decision. Difficult to guess where this one plays out. I could see Rutty or Tulane running out of space, both had about 16 signees in mid December. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
