2022 Recruiting Thread

[Watchdog]

Somebody help me out here.
First, he accepted a scholarship from a coach with a 6-32 record, then decommits after we hire a coach with a better resume'?
If Sallis thinks there's a better place for him, than with a coach who had been successful in the PAC10 and the NFL, Marshall would be that place?
Marshall? We talkin' 'bout Marshall? Marshall?
He's from TX and wants to go to WVA?
Was his dad a fan of John Denver?

Very happy to see Victor Rosa’s tweet. He is going to be an excellent slot receiver for UCONN and can see him on fly sweeps as well. Very good start stop ability, his game speed is incredible.

I get the feeling Coach saw his tape and prioritized keeping him in the fold. Smart move.

Agreed. It would have been awkward for JM to talk about building a fence around CT and then lose a CT kid before Jim‘a official start date.

-> Another coach with NFL ties, new UConn coach Jim L. Mora, who was an NFL head coach for the Falcons and Seahawks, has started recruiting Warner since being hired last week.

"UConn has started talking with me with coach Mora getting hired and I'm starting to grow a relationship with him," said Warner. "I met coach Mora a few years back, my dad has a good relationship with him so that relationship with him definitely contributes in my interest in the school. I want to go check it out and find out as much as I can about the offense he is bringing in." <-

I am happy to see Mora is busy making recruiting contacts already, but with the exception of Elijah Warner (who is Kurt Warner's son) none of the kids he invited to the Houston game are even being pursued by D1 programs, mostly just 1AA teams, we just lost some of our highest rated recruits I'd rather replace them thru the portal if the pickings are slim than more "potential" kids. Not now anyway.

Gadie had been to Rutgers twice.
Jobity has PWO offers from WVA & Buffalo.
Murphy is a CT kid w/ Supreme Athletes and has been to camp @ UConn previously.

No harm in inviting kids to the last game of the season (especially potential PWOs).

 

[Pudge]

you're kidding right ... he has been able to make call for a week? And you are making a judgement based on a list of kids that can get to our Houston game?

I mean this is also a message to the high school coaches that Mora is evaluating their players. It’s a good move no matter what. Whether they get offered or not.

 

[uconndogs]

I think Mora should be fired. The team did not look good against UCF. If we get blown out against Houston he has to go.

I think you missed the sarcasm. Look At the messages above.

Elijah “EJ” Warner is a 6-0 195lb QB from Brophy College Prep High in Phoenix Arizona. Other offers from Ball State, Colorado State, EKU, Georgia Southern, Hawaii, Marshall, Northern Colorado, Presbyterian and UT Martin.

Oh my. What’s sarcasm ?

First known offer is to a QB. Great messaging continues.

St. John Florida LB Dylan Chiedo commits to Furman University

[Yup!]

Yeah I really like Gadie and Murphy. These kids can add some depth to the team. Gadie has speed for a LB, but needs to add weight and Murphy has some skills for a big kid. I’m sure Mora will continue to look at the transfer portal.

Nice! This kid should know how to play QB since his dad is Kurt Warner. It would be nice to have an actual QB.

Yea I’d imagine immediately offering another QB and retweeting it and Kurt Warner’s tweet didn’t sit too well with him. Such is college football - I think he has a good amount of academy interest, he’ll find a soft landing.

Without question. I liked him alot too. I think he's gonna be a great one for whomever he ends up playing for.

 

[Brettloaf]

Not going to lie I like Calhoun better than Warner. Anyone know if Warner is a better scheme fit? Feels weird he is our only offer so far.
