2021 Recruiting Thread

[Exit 4]

Maybe this has been posted already; UConn not in the Jordan Palmer (6’3 WR) top 8.

The hunt continues for that third WR for this class.

I don’t know how many schollys we plan on giving out this year. My 5 wishes (in order).
1. Xavier Copening (as a DB)
2. Athletic LT with Frame to add lbs
3. a space-eating DT
4. Nasty MLB
5. 6’5” WR

I don’t know how many schollys we plan on giving out this year. My 6 wishes (in order)
1. Kenny Soares (as a OLB)
2. Xavier Copening (as a DB)
3. Athletic LT with Frame to add lbs
4. a space-eating DT
5. Nasty MLB
6. 6’5” WR

Unless you know something I don’t - Soares is a 2022 kid.

Yeah. Right after I sent this I checked his twitter for correct spelling and saw the ‘22. My bad. ... ( though many have reclassified recently)

Arlington TX S/DB with UConn offer might be announcing today....looks like a Washington U lean

 

[UC1995]

Good job @Exit 4!

Add one back....South FL WR decommitting from the Illini.

Edit update: Per free story on 247 - Lovie Smith had recruited him as a DB rather than WR and perhaps he's decided he'd rather stay at WR. Apparently he has 4.5 speed (4.5 speed is actually not that common at the HS level, kids tend to get a little faster in college).

My guess Deondrick speight or kicker joe McFadden like to have David Siegel or Aaron Session Deshontez. Gray

I think it's the kicker....

 

[ktuck911]

I think it's the kicker....

Maybe I'm wrong and it's Speight instead??? He retweeted the Block C signal... and, btw, Lockley liked this commit too..

We'd better get Chief on this right away.

oh god!

Chief is starting to scare himself - We don’t get a recruit for nearly a month after Tyler commits on 6/19 - so Chief pushed buttons with some humor suggesting Tyler decomit (obviously bulletin board material for Randy) - and boomed - 4 commits in 9 days.

2021 UConn WR Commit Aaron Turner attends Gonzaga High School which is part of this heavyweight (D1 talent loaded) Metro DC conference. The conference usually has a Top 25 team in the USA Today poll on a regular basis.

Wonder if Turner is far enough ahead to consider enrolling in January and getting a jump on college?

 

[Coach J]

We are up to 71 now on Rivals. Randy and the staff are doing a hell of a job.

Chief is an interesting idiot. He’s obviously not followed UConn football recruiting long

To have 14 verbal commitments - without summer camps (which are basically tryout camps - and we have numerous good stories from previous years) - is astounding. Plus the Coronavirus. Edsall & staff had a good start at 10. We’ve rarely been at this number

Who knows how we’ve done on our board or how we ranked them. One thing - if you get a QB this early, you both wanted him & pursued. Good ones don’t last into your season. We had few guys who could have been higher
