2019 UConn Commit #15- Ardell Brown (Rochester, NY)

[HurricaneDave]

Seton Hill 'plays in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference in the Western Division with Slippery Rock, IUP, California, Clarion, Gannon & Edinboro. The PSAC is a really good D2 conference in all sports. IUP, the Rock & California typically get a number of D1 transfers every year.

If I recall correctly, Cody Endres ended up at Slippery Rock and maybe Robbie Frey?

Yes on Endrees. I believe Robbie Frey ended up at Kutztown (East Division of the PSAC) because it was close to hoe for him. Can't recall who it was but a Husky went transferred to IUP a number of years ago

FWIW: I see other sites/articles recently have him @ 5-11 180lb.

he looks like he weighs 135 in that picture.

Nice.

Nice.

VERY nice.

I don’t know if that’s 4.38 speed but I like what I see. Should help in the return game and I can envision him making an impact on screens and fly sweeps. Nice weapon.

 

[uchusky32]

He should have fair catched that one!

 

[Hoophound]

A 4.38 guy usually looks faster on film. I would expect almost shocking break away speed against a D2 team. He did definitely get himself some breathing room though, so maybe he is that fast. I sure hope so.

 

[uconnbill]

do you pull these out of your butt?

I don't know anything about Seton Hill University - though I recognize some of their opponents from a schedule. IF ... that HC at Seton Hill puts him at 170 - 175 -180 over three years … I don't know why you feel the need to be dismissive.

5'11" throughout.

Some people just like to complain about everything as we know all on The Boneyard

some people watch that tape and lol at 4.38 claims.

Generally, there is speed at all levels of football. Usually, the kids that are small, but fast in high school, don’t get FBS football scholarships. (That is how UConn got Larry Taylor.). The big difference between FBS and lower leagues is the size, strength,athleticism, and speed of the linemen and LBs, but you can find some fast DBs and WRs that we’re undersized coming out of HS.

At my local high school, there is a football player with elite speed, but he didn’t get any FBS football interest due to his size. He’ll run track in college.

You do realize they run without pads on?? Just curious

Do you know what fast looks like in an AAC football game?

You’ve been a fan for a long time. Why don’t you think you and the school deserve a coaching staff that can recruit well enough to compete with Tulsa and Temple and Tulane?

Because UConn doesn't begin with a T?

 

[Palatine]

The best way to find football speed is video tape. Watch a guy run ten yards on the field. The tape moves at 30 frames per second. How many frames does it take the player to go ten yards. Not the best way to measure acceleration but it gives a true indication of football top end speed.

 

[BNich]

My thought is that if he's really 5-11, 180, he's not coming to UConn.

Why? UConn can have nice things too.

 

[Sky ball]

Looks like he will fit right in...from a proven winner!

4.38 would place him 3rd at the combine for WRs.

 

[Jimdish255]

He is a little slight, but can put in time in our weight room.

• Tyreek Hill - 5'10", 185 lbs.
• Antonio Brown - 5'10", 181 lbs.
• Brandin Cooks - 5'10", 189 lbs.
• T.Y. Hilton - 5'9", 178 lbs.
• Emmanuel Sanders - 5'11", 180 lbs.
• DeSean Jackson - 5'10" 175 lbs.

Keep him away from the weight room! Just kidding but this guy will never be a blocker. He needs to get touches and have sets that create 1 on 1 opportunities. Welcome aboard!

 

[tiger8mush]

Nicki Will was listed at 5'10", 184lbs when a senior here. Haven't had a solid punt returner since.

Welcome Ardell!!!

According to his stat page, the only year Foxx returned ANY punts was 2014, when he returned 10 for 81yards, one of which was a 72yd TD vs Stony Brook. So the other 9 averaged a yard a piece.

Nick had 2 years (2011 and 2012) of returning punts. 42 for 371 yards.

I stand by my statement

Diaco went all fair catch.

Foxx could return punts very well.

That’s the beauty of Diaco.

 

[crazyUCfan23]

I think diaco said something to the effect of "returning punts is too big of a gamble."

 

[gtcam]

Fair caught. Thanks Bobby D
