2021 UConn Football Commit - Tyler Phommachanh (Stratford CT)

Welcome Tyler,
Dan Orlovsky stayed home, built a great resume at UConn, and enjoyed a long tenure in the NFL that allowed him to jumpstart his broadcasting career. It started with a commitment to a program ready to rise and you just may find you're on a similar path to success in life. Congratulations on joining the Huskies!

And so 247 decides to lay a 79 score of the phenom. Absurd. I expect a reranking later this year.

I believe I posted earlier in the recruiting thread that he was previously listed as 5’10” on 247. He is now listed as 6’ but his ranking is unchanged. This is curious to me because 247 claims its ranking system is based primarily on projectability to the NFL. I have come to believe the rankings are hopelessly arbitrary and are actually purely based on offers.
 
Very happy to keep this kid at home! Do we think he can compete for the job Day 1 or will he need a couple of years to develop physically/learn the college game?

The formula from my pov:
40% film/size/talent/
30% offer list
30% subscriber base size & pull of 247 team reporter <--we are goose eggs with this 30%

Although it’s a highlight tape so we can’t see the whole picture, this kid can throw with accuracy and on the run to boot. I suspect he’s ranked lower because of his size and with a taller college line in front of him you never know how he adjusts to limited field vision and finding throwing lanes. Some do just fine. Others not so good. Seems to me to be a great pick up.

I think he looks like a high upside kid. But I’ll say this. If he was from Stratford Ohio this board would be whining that he didn’t have much by way of BCS offers.

Big time recruit, under-recruited. Agree with the full tape review, he can really play. A bit small at 6 foot, but he can make plays with his feet.

Can someone explain the QB situation at AOF? We offered 2 QBs there, the other, Xavier Copening, with offers from Syracus and p5 interest. He has 3 stars, but it seemed like Tyler was the starter?

Solid question. I was thinking the same thing. They’re the same year, but Tyler was the starter.
Can anyone speak to this?

Add me to the list of wondering the same thing.

Wow. We've gotten to the point where you're not criticizing posters for what they actually say, but what they didn't say but you think they would have said in hypothetical circumstances?

A bit much, no?

This is terrific. I have been very critical of Edsall this go around. In season he drove me crazy. I have said I choose to be optimistic in the off season. Looking for anything positive And talking up the team to my friends. I think I may be able to do that with more confidence now. This class just feels different so far; the feel of the current team is better (this I know for a fact) and maybe in this instant gratification world the slow and steady build is harder. But no doubt we are moving in the right direction and this year is huge to show it in the win column.

Kind of a lawyerly thing I did there I guess. Probably illegal without being a member of the bar. Look at the comments on other guys with more BCS offers. This kid has UMass but he’s the starter day 1. LOL. Change his hometown zip code and maybe his mom posts that.

I think he looks like he has lots of upside. And I actually believe there are lots of really good quarterbacks who don’t get looked for one reason or another. The success of leagues like the sunbelt and MAC in finding them shows this. I’m hopeful this kid is the best we’ve ever had breaking all the records Z sets his season! This whole class looks like a huge step forward. But clearly the two top players are the kid from Bridgeport and this kid. You can tell because they have the right zip codes.
 
Seems like a really good pickup. Nice to see some clips of him against my alma mater.

Making some inroads with the NEPSAC prep schools is a big opportunity for us. They churn out some pretty highly rated kids. While we may not be able to compete for the blue chippers yet, getting some of the other top quality kids they have will be big. There has to be a way to leverage the proximity.
