Is an icy face good?

Is an icy face good?

I would say yes. Not to go all urban dictionary, but kids these days tend to refer to things as "cold" in a positive manner.

Probably an axe to grind. Pyne was offered 2 yrs ago so it’s kinda weird to bump that post lol.

Holy shhite, the guy actually bumped a 2 year old post on top of posting his confusing post. That’s some axe!

No clue on level of competition he’s facing but nobody can say he doesn’t finish his blocks

Jhalyn Shuler (LB) - Abbeville High School, Abbeville South Carolina

 

[ktuck911]

Gonna be a nice end to this weekend come Monday morning up and until the week before Christmas... Looking forward to seeing the bat signals that are on their way.... more help to make #UConn Football better

Desmond Fogle (LB) - Camden County High School, Kingsland Georgia
Jhalyn Shuler (LB) - Abbeville High School, Abbeville South Carolina

Those 2 (especially Shuler) are the kinds of LBs that could thrive under what we do... potential staples to our LB corp

Yep, those are two that I feel like might be secret commitments for several reasons; i) both have been very quite all fall about new offers and ii) UConn has been relatively inactive in offering LBs, particularly inside LBs since mid summer.

I don't know if we will have the room, but I hope we take two HS LBs and one JUCO or grad transfer LB this cycle. We need both. Of the youth on our roster, only Mitchell has really looked the part.

Agreed we need more TRUE LB depth/help

Did we somehow miss this guy?

We offered Ryan Smith LB from Harrison HS in Kennesaw GA back on 6/2.
Yesterday is was named 2019 Region 6 AAAAAA Defensive Player of the Year in GA.

Earlier this month he picked up an offer from Colorado State. From mid spring to fall he earned offers from Elon, Buffalo, Lehigh, Tennessee Tech, Army, Fordham and Austin Peay. Back in early spring and prior to that as a junior in 2018 he reported offers from Louisville, Coastal Carolina, Holly Cross, Akron, FAU, Howard, EKU, Ohio, Cornell, Liberty, Yale, Troy, Dartmouth, , Columbia, Kent and USTA,

It seems most of those offers a junior were spurred by his participation in The Opening in 5/7/18 as a 15 year old where he clocked in a 4.78 40 time with 6'1' and 196bs. For age 15 that is pretty good.

Hmmm... I went back to look and I'm following him and posted his offer. I wonder if I inadvertently whacked him in a "cut and paste" when moving between the two list (locked and unlocked).

Well, he's added back in now. Nice catch.

Yeah, the whole time I prepared that post I was having deja vu.

 

[huskymedic]

Thought this was interesting... Dotson was the commit, next day decommit back in beginning of June.

 

[Exit 4]

New commitment alert.....perhaps its Desmond Fogle LB from GA who was quick to retweet it this morning.

 

[ktuck911]

Let the bat signals begin (again)
