2021 Recruiting Thread

[AD DB Burner]

Just to put into perspective where this class lands all-time for UConn, according to 247, the 2021 class (.8109) is the highest-rated class by Average Recruit Ranking since 2013 (.8132), and the third highest-rated in the history of 247. The only class higher than the 2013 class was 2010 which achieved an average rating of .8172. Let's just hope it translates to the field.

Excited for the 2021 football season.

Did any of the 16 kids we offered but who hadn't verbally committed anywhere sign with anyone else this morning? Like Xavier Copening for example?

Not that I've seen yet...

Waiting on something. Looks like Mississippi St offer not as solid as he hoped.

Daytona Beach Florida DL Laron Davis still looking for a home (we were in his Top 7 back in June):

Still looking...

Laron Davis⁷ @Ronno386 3m
I won’t be signing until February 3rd

Best part about this class so far is everyone that committed has officially signed. No verbal left. Would be nice to see a few surprises in the coming days (one can dream)

[huskyblooz]

Any word if Xavier Copening is looking to play QB? Or would be willing to play elsewhere?

[Duncan Idaho]

He must have gotten the word in September that he would get in. Now its official. Happy for him.

Looks like for 2020 Chris Johnson switched from Ribault HS to Westside and along the way he had to create a new HUDL account. TE, WR or LB - looks like he could play all three, although I sort of like him more as a WR

Christopher Johnson on Hudl

Watch Christopher Johnson's videos and highlights on Hudl. More info: Ribault High School - Boys' Varsity Basketball / PF / Class of 2021 / Jacksonville, FL

Looked like he came in as a TE. But you maybe right. He could very well be that bigger WR.

Had been in contact with the staff back in May, but did not make his Top 10 over the summer.

Great article in the Hartford Courant today on Tyler Phomachanh on his commitment to UConn, and a PSA on how to pronounce his name.

Mike Anthony: Tyler Phommachanh (PUMA-chon) is a UConn name to know; quarterback from Stratford parlays experience at Avon Old Farms into college dream

Central Arkansas just offered him.... IMO, he'd been an ideal fit here.. still is...

I don't think so... https://twitter.com/haydn_kerr?lang=en

UConn's new Aussie punter spells his forename Haydn (no e as in the cricketer from NSW, Hayden Kerr).

I’m really not thinking he held a PWO offer yet alone a legit scholarship offer based on circumstantial evidence... he’s coming off the list. Notre Dame College is D2

Had to be a PWO offer at best.. Best of luck to the young man....

So what was the deleted Tweet about?

So what was the deleted Tweet about?

Just Femi Sakiri’s Senior Season highlights which he posted and subsequently deleted (not sure who’s worse w/ posting things and deleting them - him or Walker)

Yeah but he’ll be able to tell everyone for the rest of his life he played football at Notre dame

Fascinating thread - better read w/ all comments/replies opened on Twitter (couple of UConn commits chimed in as well):
