Our peer group. Ugh.

Our peer group. Ugh.

Really? You can't trust RE's recruiting of running backs? Who cares who was involved? If RE thinks he could be a productive RB, it is good enough for me.

 

[uconnell]

Welcome aboard Nathan.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I have $5 saying he'll be 205-210 before he plays a down at UConn.

 

[uchusky32]

Welcome to the Pound, Nathan!

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Our peer group. Ugh.

Hate to be the board police, but this really isn't the thread for this.

Welcome to the Pound!

Welcome to the Pound!

Agree, these schools get players, talent. Maybe not at every position but here and there. If we can take that talent it's a plus for us.

Article on Carter from the end of the summer: Recruiting picture coming into focus for Bishop Kearney's Nathan Carter

Most important part of article, looks like Michigan was recruiting him, but never offered...

"Coach Harbaugh said if he didn’t show up late on his radar, he would’ve been ranked in their top 15 running back prospects. They have not offered him yet, but will be checking on him," Gause said. "(The perception) is a problem in the sense that Rochester is behind in recruiting. We don’t get seen enough or the exposure. The education of parents and coaches with doing the extra work is lacking."

 

[Bonehead]

Welcome Dawg!!

Welcome Nathan. You embody what it takes to be successful in life. Keep living it as you stated in your list of what you're looking for in a school:

"I want an environment almost identical to how BK is, BK welcomed me in as a student who needed a fresh start. They have wonderful education, wonderful athletics with football and other sports," Carter said. "It's family based and so connected.

"It's not about how big or small the school is. It's about can I go there improve as a man and athlete spiritually, mentally and physically."

Honestly. Edsall has consistently brought in running backs. I think only Brown was relatively highly rated. If Edsall thinks he can be a quality back my guess is he can be a quality back

Welcome Nathan, and Congratulations.

 

[uconnbill]

Welcome to storrs, Nathan and I look forward to watching you over the next few years

It's September. If you take a guy with that offer list in January, when you have a need and have to take the best player at a position you can get, that's when you complain. In September, it means that the coaches wanted him. You can conclude (absolutely rationally) that he may have a smaller chance of succeeding than if Syracuse and BC and Rutgers had all offered him, but you have to acknowledge that the coaches saw something different and wanted him.

Music to my ears. Sounds like the kind of recruit you'd love to have on your team. I'm thankful he's coming. Welcome Nathan.

I continue to believe Randy Edsall is a great talent evaluator. Say what you want about him otherwise, but he’s proving to be pretty darn good at finding players.

 

[BNich]

That was a pretty impressive catch in traffic in that clip. Dude could have some strong hands.

 

[GridironGR8]

My brother is a big Albany fan and had hoped the Great Danes would steal this guy. He felt strongly that Nathan was a BCS-level prospect and, now that he has commited to UConn it looks like my brother was correct.
