2020 UConn Commit/Decommit - Ra’Mello Dotson (Daytona Beach Florida)

[JMick]

Lol this program is a dumpster fire.

 

[GridironGR8]

Wow! Is this a record of some sort?

 

[Purple Stein]

... and Florida A&M, Tennessee Martin, and Savannah State

AAC plays on the Plus — just like the OVC and the MEAC.

As I was thinking ...

A positive contributor on par with Maurice Lloyd would be great.

... and, a maybe may beat absolutely no commitment.

Nope Travis Jones has him beat

 

[HuskyDogArt]

Oh well...

UConn is way better than any of his other offers. Why wouldn't he just wait until something better comes along? It's not like Randy will rescind his offer if he takes his visits.

 

[Hornet22]

Oh well...

Do you really think this commitment was anything other than a ploy to get more twitter traffic? Once a player commits they get multiple likes and retweets which circulates to other teams/coaches. Now even more people know that this is an offered kid. My guess is that someone told him to play the commit/decommit game ala DJ Smith that wound up going to San Jose. Problem is they didn’t inform him to wait a bit and let it marinate

If he's actually playing those kind of games then you don't want him on your team. Reason: it's more about him and how he can game the system and less about how he can learn & develop while contributing to a football program.

Who was the DL pasq recruited from NYC who ended up at Clemson? He did a similar 180.

I was just about to post this. Whatever happened to that kid?

 

[Ellington]

I would not worry about this one
He has not eliminated us
He hopefully will visit campus officially in the near future
It's difficult to be a "hard commit" to a place that you've never seen.
Still like our chances
Go Blue!

Got dismissed by Clemson. No real production there. Went to Tennessee State had a couple good years there became an UDFA? last year. May be in Canada now?

Maybe he could have become something here instead of withering away at Clemson. Who knows.

Yeah he was someone I thought would done well here. Speaking of this type of stuff Do remember Mike Yankich? He was a very highly ranked lb from the same area of Pa that Endres was from. Paterno came in late and offered. He went there and did little.

If the kid doesn’t want to go to UConn, let him go elsewhere.

Mo Lloyd was 5'11" like I'm 5'11". Talk about fiction.

I doubt he’s playing games. Just guessing but if I were betting I bet he looked at a map and discovered Connecticut is further from home than he thought. And he didn’t want to be that far from Mommy so he is looking some more. Guessing he ends up at Florida a&m. Maybe Savannah State. Or ATLANTIC OR INTERNATIONAL. Someplace near home

well ... I am 5'11" - in fact I am 6'

My brothers were 6'5" and 6'3" & Dad was 6'3". It's always something. In football, at the college level ... you can have a great motor and perform exceptionally at a little smaller. Doesn't pass the sniff test in measurable at the NFL level. But in Canadian units - like Hilton Armstrong units - it is OK in Saskatchewan (can't believe I can spell that).

Mainland CB Ra’Mello Dotson decommits UConn, reopens recruitment; UCF could be in picture

I don't want him... He wants to be a Citronaut, let him be a Citronaut

I hope he takes a visit eventually but mom's sounds like she doesn't like the distance thing and really the advice he says he got from her wasn't bad. I think he's out but the coaches need to recruit mom, not the athlete. Not unusual.

On another note the weather I think was great in CT this past weekend and pretty intolerable here in South FL. As tough as winters can be our summers are great while this place steams and soaks.
