Some of these Os must be PWOs

Totally agree. Particularly if you are seeing in-state guys. And the use of the word "academic" was interesting. Edsall ran PWO far different in 2.0; but I think in a state/region like CT/NE you could have great utility with these kids. Particularly if they really are 4.5 40 guys

An interesting article from The Athletic about QB recruiting in the portal era. Also mentions that UConn is looking at a QB in Florida, Davin Wydner, a 6'5" 225 lbs 3* QB.

"When Canton, Ga., QB A.J. Swann decommitted from Maryland earlier this week, Terrapins coaches reached out to Wydner. Since Jim Mora Jr. took over at Connecticut, the Huskies have been in contact with Wydner as well. A UConn assistant visited him at school this week. As of this writing, UConn and Maryland planned to have coaches at Wydner’s game against Bolles."

In the evolving world of QB recruiting, transfers are the priority and high-schoolers get squeezed

QB EJ Warner Senior Year Highlights:

Looks like he's accustomed to playing behind a porous line and putting some loft on some passes, zipping others, so he'd be right at home here............until those new linemen come in.

Kha’lil Eason is a 5-9 180lb RB/WR from Norwalk CT attending the Brunswick School in Greenwich CT. Other offers from AIC, Colby and Franklin Pierce.

Highlights

Wow, really shifty, great cuts, but 5'9" might be a bit generous and the reason he doesn't have bigger offers.

 

[AD DB Burner]

by my count, that is 9 sets of helmets... I know it was reported there could be double-digit visits this weekend, so this could support that rumor.

I'll leave this here...

why would his brother wanna take over his brothers job lol its not happening

GRAB HIM, COACH MORA!!!!!

 

[UCONNRPh]

Does Coach Marinelli have a relationship with Big Puma prior Coach???? I mean his prior In-State coaches???

If Mora wants him and feeling is mutual.... then it would be a man to man sit down conversation with Tyler...As for me, if I had a preference--I always believe in size rather than the one that has sight limitations over linemen...

It’s not the little brothers job. If he wants to start, he will earn the job, not be given it because he was a spark for 10 quarters.

UConn Alum, Jason Williams is doing his part…

 

[Exit 4]

His the graphics department ready? I mean, its pretty clear there will be some new commits this weekend and I would think they would HOIST a new flag for commitment announcements and retire the bat signal.....however, the bat signal is fine - just saying now's the chance for something new.
