Nikko Pohahau is 6-5 275lb OL from City College of San Francisco.

Highlights

His twitter account says he has three years of eligibility and a 6' 10" wingspan. Watching his highlights he seems a bit more athletic and physical than the recruits we lost to UVA.

Hopefully we get the best of the bunch.

has nine siblings … His brother Jonathan played football at Charleston Southern University ... He wears size 18 shoes …

Also, this past fall while at City College of SF, Nikko picked up offers from San Diego State, New Mexico and New Mexico State, Hawaii, Nevada, Maine, UNH, Houston Baptist, Stony Brook, Towson and a few others.

As Medic noted he took an OV to UMass last weekend and now he's coming back to New England for UConn.
 
Could the snow storm cancel our OVs this weekend?!?!

Seems like the timing will work for travel as Friday and Sunday should be clear….but every minute in between should be snowy.

Taft School WR/TE/LB/DL Nicholas “Nico” Schwikal appears headed to Dartmouth (wouldn’t be surprised to see his name appear again in the future):

 
For those who follow these things... 2 recruits (not really a focus anymore joining up for signing day)

are we getting reimbursed for flying over Deutsche Mom & Dad? Seems Dartmouth can scrape a Tranche off their endowment for the flights and accommodations

So looked at the most likely known candidates for signing day and here is what I see could happen based on social media posting.

UConn Lean
  1. Camryn Edwards (RB/DB) > 7 follows > Rhode Island 12/16 > Likes Favor UConn
  2. Dominic Konopka (LS/C/DE) < Went from 3 to 5 follows > Last posted offer UConn > Met Shearer when at Miami
Toss Up
  1. Will Dixon (TE/DL/Athlete) >6 Follows > UConn 11/24 > Last like from UConn
  2. Derek Ferraro (OL) > 3 Follows > Bowling Green 1/14 > Last school like was Montana
  3. Nicholas “Nico” Schwikal (WR/TE/LB/DE) > 3 Follows > Yale 12/13 > Last school like was UConn 1/2

Other known offers have high P5 offers or have fallen off the social media radar. I still feel we have a chance at Javian Green and Jayson Jenkins but it is less than 25%.

Saw UConn announced that transfer, Nigel Fitzgerald, had signed. I believe this leaves Cale Millen as the only transfer that announced a commitment not to officially sign.

If you go back to the first announcement about Cale Millen, I think you'd find some vague statement on when he would arrive. Which I took to mean that he might have some unfinished academic or process steps before he could enroll. I thought it was distinctly different when it first appeared; and with Mora a family friend, thought that Millen would show up when he could.

this:

"Next, he transferred to Northern Arizona State University, in order to continue playing the quarterback position. Now, Millen is working through waivers so he can play for the University of Connecticut."

How many scholarships do we left? It's hard to calculate with all of the transfers coming in and out

With a roster of 85 scholarship players its pretty hard to ever have perfect information.

By my calculation there are three open scholarships for fall 2022 and if I understand the COVid bonus scholarship concept, Swenson and Burns would not count against us in 2022, thereby allowing us to have 87 seats and therefore we have 5 spaces going into 2/2.

But also consider that the program could announce more than 5 players on 2/2, it would just mean that either someone currently projected for 2022 will be leaving or should no one leave (unlikely) then someone signed this winter will be asked to defer enrollment to Jan 2023.

Lots of scenarios, however given the slow down in 2022 recruiting by the staff over the past two weeks, it seems we shouldn't expect more than 5 more names on signing day. Maybe its just two or three names and they pocket those extra slots for the portal post spring which always brings about new names.
