2021 UConn Football Commit - Tyler Phommachanh (Stratford CT)

[Exit 4]

The kid was on a lot of radar's - we dont normally get mentions from 247 reporters like Ed O'Brien who covers western PA and Pitt.

Class of 2021 QB Tyler Phommachanh commits to UConn

One of Connecticut's top-returning signal-callers put an end to his recruitment on Friday.

And Gleitman acknowledges - he covers Ohio State and Rutty.

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

Welcome Home Husky

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!

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.

Welcome to the Pound, Tyler!

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%

How about we let him get through his senior year of high school first...

Very fair haha, I forget how early in the process these kids committing are. Not used to this much action this early.

Mr Phommachanh, welcome to the Pound!

Welcome Tyler! Nice to have a Winged Beaver wanting to morph into a Husky.

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.

 

[HobokenHusky]

I am eating my words on recruiting. It's throbbing.

 

[gtcam]

Welcome Tyler - you are going to be a star
RE2 and staff are recruiting at a great clip
I am impressed

 

[Rich]

Big freaking pull for RE.

 

[freescooter]

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.

 

[Dooooooomed]

This kid is absolute fire. One of the best under-rated steals in the 2021 class.

It may be more than just recruiting that's throbbing.

 

[formerlurker]

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.

 

[Austin316]

I’ve been waiting for this domino to fall! So pumped!

welcome Tyler!!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Once Cuse, UMD, BC, RU, etc try fo poach him it’ll be a lot of fun when he stays
