2021 Recruiting Thread

Now that there won't be a 2021 season, will we still follow the same recruiting guidelines that we followed before the pandemic? Will there still be an early signing period, then a later one in early February '21? Will there be special sanctions regarding eligibility for the kids here this year that may be in their final year of eligibility? How's it gonna work?

I would think there needs to be a few more national dominoes (NCAA) to fall before you get finite answers.
 
AJ Barber - a nifty WR and son of Tiki opts for Princeton. AJ has been playing at Greenwich HS.

Additional clarity coming in a few weeks...



>>Each division must determine no later than Aug. 14 the eligibility accommodations that must be made for student-athletes who opt out of participating this fall or for those whose seasons are canceled or cut short due to COVID-19. College athletes and their families must know what their eligibility status will be before beginning the fall season.<<
 
Hope the kids are still able to have some sort of in depth scrimmages... Even though they're not playing against anybody... Maybe we can see some scrimmages and see how kids are developing...

Complete silence would be disappointing to diehards like myself.. Hope we get a Spring game in April (Or March, whenever in 2021.. Heck would be nice to get a "Fall" game)....

I still think it'd be pretty cool to have us scrimmage other local schools even though they might be a level or 2 below us... CCSU, Sacred Heart, Bryant... work with what you got... Everybody's in state, following protocol.... Thoughts??????
 


>>The announcement didn’t deter future Huskies recruits from the Dallas area, including UConn’s top-rated pledge in 2021, Trophy Club Byron Nelson running back Max Modeste. He acknowledged the cancellation “wasn’t the best news,” but said he’s “110% committed to UConn.” “I’m focused on my high school season ahead of me to grow as a player then gladly take my game to UConn,” Modeste said in a text message to The Dallas Morning News. “Just a opportunity for the coaches and staff to be even more prepared for this 2021 class.”

Modeste’s current and future teammate, Byron Nelson offensive tackle Femi Sakiri, also re-affirmed his commitment to UConn. ‘With something that is not under their control such as the virus, shows how much they care for their players/students health to keep them safe with everything going on in the world,” Sakiri told The News.

DeSoto offensive tackle Yakiri Walker also told The News that his commitment to UConn hasn’t wavered in light of the announcement to cancel the 2020 season.<<

Taft Football WR Skyler Bell set to make a decision 8/16 with a final five of Rutty, WV, Iowa, Wisconsin and VT. 247 thinks he's going to Iowa.

Definitely a good sign that guys on the team are supporting other guys to come to UConn. Seems like Edsall is bringing in more dedicated guys to the roster.
 
Corey been steady on Lockley since he decommitted from Illinois. Seems like he's gong to have some fun toying with fan bases during the process. Guess he's an FIU lean at this hour.
 
Berkhalter who is clearly on UConn radar, but seemingly w/o an offer just yet posting OOs from Mercer and Alabama State.

Ooph.... Tough to get called out like this in public when getting dumped.

We didn't seem to offer this PA DB, but he's on the radar because we have five staff members following.

Interesting - His brother was recruited by Adazzio to BC so there was family familiarity in this thought process.

This is Carezzola’s neck of PA.
 
Expect plenty more Johnson stories across the country as recruits try to navigate through their senior year of HS, picking a college where they feel they belong and balancing safety, travel and everything else COVID affects their lives.
 
This seems to be on track for tomorrow. Twitter interconnects give UConn the slight advantage if you had to guess. Hammond has good change of direction, good burst, with some athleticism.

Interesting that Chis Johnson's "decommit" post is no longer showing on Twitter.

He's very much welcome back. :)

Edit update: Also worth noting that in the 247 story today it is mentioned that Illinois sees him playing defense. He does have some tenacity. I'd let him play whichever he prefers as he has a chance to be a + level player either way.
