Why are we the last program to be in on a CT kid like this. Look at those offers!

Not sure he's good enough, being from CT, so we need validation from others?
Suffield is too remote from Storrs?
We've already got too many fine QB's?

Is football doing a blaze strategy now?

Chief was hearing that too. It worked great (but for too short a period of time due to other stuff going on), why not copy it? I am glad the other major sport is using it now.

Chief will do a deep dive:
Millennials want to be special and have their own identity. When they go to Blaze Pizza they basically custom order their own individually designed, unique pizza. The experience treats them how they want to be treated.
Baby Boomers who compare the pizza quality to New Haven parlors miss the point. The pizza is fine at Blaze but it’s the experience of designing your own that’s the true recruiting appeal.

Sounds great Chief. Now, can you use that strategy to sign #7 in that photo with young Mr. Pelkisson?

In what way did it work “great”? Also when it comes to pizza people don’t want the quality to be fine. You think the personal chef at Kentucky makes just fine pizza? Lol

Recruiting, but with the disillusion transfers out and then the coaches getting fired it ended. If Hurley had that talent this year including Akinjo things would be much different.

UK has a few other advantage$ going for it. LOL

Again, you missed my point - top pizza quality is not paramount - it’s the millennial behaviour experience of individualizing their pizza, which Blaze offers.

Randy seems to focus on recruits where he has a relationship with the coach. Sandlewood on FL comes to mind.

Jordan Dunbar is a 6-0 185lb DB from Iona Prep in New York.


I know these type of comments annoy you a bit Medic, but boy Dunbar looks a little bigger than 6ft 185lb if Lucien is 6'2 180lb per the UConn roster list.
