I believe it was Kent state, not cincy

Saw that he committed to Kent St., but decided to go to Cincy as a PWO. Unclear whether he matriculated at Cincy or was part of the football team.

Local kid with sub 4.5 speed. Would be a great PWO....or might benefit from a gray shirt.

I watched him against Brookfield this year and he was by far the best player on the field in my opinion.

Whatever the case may be, dude's a UConn Husky now... I'm glad

Looks like a bruising mauler too.

I think Early had the Kent State offer, but decided to go the WO route at Cincy...not sure he ever set foot on campus at Cincy however. He's really a 2019 kid. Based on twitter activity, it appears he visited right after the season ended and sometime over the weekend or so he changed his twitter profile to note "UConn Commit."

Not that it matters - we took Wyant (sign soon buddy)

Brewton is undoubtedly pegged as kick and punt returner based on highlights. Ran an under 11 second 100M in track. Could see the field as a freshman returner with the departure of Skanes.

One thing I think we'll see going forward is a team that will win some short yardage battles up front... We had size, but that dog across the LOS in situations like this lacked BIG TIME...

We've missed special teams for the past 10 years it seems... When's the last time we had a game plan in place where our return game was dangerous??? (Nick Williams comes to mind, but then that's it pretty much.. part of that is coaching too)...

Looks like Zaire Flournoy (OL) - Chapel Hill High School going to UAB. Signing at 11:30am

Once Wyant committed to us I took a quick peak at this kid's Twitter profile.. It was all IU...

 

[businesslawyer]

With Walker signing, just waiting on two, Wyant (CA) and the Long Snapper.

PWOs don't sign. They simply enroll in the school and show up for practice.

... and Dollison to USF.

 

[Coach J]

Wyant originally committed to Fresno State last year, but ended up going the JUCO route, he has obviously was able to develop and pack on some muscle and weight while he was at the JUCO. He was fairly highly rated a year ago - I assume whatever rating he gets now will be higher probably close to Haggard.

 

[noeynox]

Mency sign anywhere?

I agree. My initial thoughts watching his tape as well. SPEEED to burn. Shift. Smaller back. Should certainly add something to special teams, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Bogan is a very good player for sure. Saw him this weekend against Bloomfield. NE champ last year in the 100m at just over 11.0. I think the size is holding him back. His teammate Jordan Davis, whose brother is Fordham's RB, is also very good.

Moyseenko was at the game. Maybe mostly watching Bloomfield's junior QB, Bryden. I didn't think he played well but maybe it was the rain. As was also mentioned in this thread, Simpson from Bloomfield is a good player. In my opinion, the best player on the field Saturday was Davis and he overshadows Bogan a little. On almost any other team in the state Bogan would dominate touches but they are a great 1-2 punch.

Here's a Mass kid seem to have some interest in UConn in 2018 and 2019 that did a PG year at Suffield and now has an SEC offer. Hmmmm.

1. Kudos to @huskymedic and @Exit 4 Thanks for your time & effort analyzing and reporting on recruiting.

2. With the remaining scholarships (# ?), which positions will most likely be targeted for grad transfers?

Thanks - I do it because we don't have much recruiting coverage (so we crowd source our own) and to help foster the discussion here.

So I'm not watching the presser right now where Edsall is likely to mention something about his plans for the remaining 5 slots.

My rough guess:
i) we'll take one more best available RB or WR (Crownover/Cobb/Wafer, someone),
ii) I'm praying for a HS LB or grad LB (if grad, might not happen until summer)
iii) one more OL (probably HS or a PG kid -someone that might project as a center),
iv) a grad corner (but would take the right HS corner)
v) last slot to be held until late August...need to hold it in case we have QB problems.
