The SHU player who committed to RU had a laundry list of offers that he got after us. There were SEC schools in there. I didn't think we had a huge shot after his list blew up like that.

I'm not as worried on losing recruits to those schools. We don't know what went on behind the scenes.

We were never in the mix for DiRenzo:

->"That's just a plus, that my family will be able to come see every game," he said. "My gut was telling me the whole time (to pick Rutgers) but I think it was (Friday) night when it all clicked with me, and that I was going to do it." DiRenzo said he was giving strong consideration to Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan State and Oklahoma. <-

We had to expect that this second cycle was going to be tough. Mora did really well keeping the recruits we had and bringing in the transfers and few HS players he did.

Only OL transfers we confirmed visited are Guidone, Nelson, Le Boucher and Hammond. Mora no longer follows Nelson so I assume that didn't work out. Le Boucher set his commitment date as 1/15 per his Twitter and hasn't posted anything about other visits since UConn. I would think he and Hammond are waiting on their academic status.
 
Look at the last 5 posts of this topic

WE aren't easily gonna win a Offensive lineman when he quickly gets a dozen offers from Name Brand Football programs. Whether it is Sacred Heart, Georgetown or Coastal Carolina. These things you read on twitter are fantastical nothingness. Relationships ... if a kid went to HS in Virginia, there is a chance Coach Sammis has had a previous relationship when he was first recruited. Probability raises slightly. Not all of the info we know is on twitter. Whether kids uses twitter - and a lot seem to not use it; we may never know. Any kid - Le Boucher, Nelson, Hammond - that got to campus and got toured is a solid chance - imho. And whether Coach Mora follows him or not is silly. We have things going on with Offensive Line that is not above the surface; like the Texas wing coming in has relationships with juco and levels far beyond we had reached before.

Academics? I wonder about this; but at this point I don't think the University is sooo hard on the admission. If a kid got to campus, basic due diligence got done AND he is a candidate for a visit/commitment. We may have surprises ... because of the new additions.

Exactly. We can't expect to get a guy like DiRenzo right now. He had a boat load of meaningful offers, and explicitly stated that he was looking to showcase himself to be a higher draft pick. It's hard to do that at UConn right now. And honestly, JMU is one of the best teams in FCS. In some ways, perhaps a better option than UConn right now. The third guy who went to that D2 school, I imagine, screwed something up bad and lost his offers. Mora's done a fine job given the circumstances. Get a couple OL grad transfers somewhere along the line. Any way we cut it this is not going to be a team that's going to be good year 1.
 
Bottom line is that it is much easier to recruit a HS kid and develop him into a O-lineman than it is to recruit grad transfer OL. Why? EVERY school needs help on the OL and a grad transfer usually has 4 years of development, will qualify academically, and you can easily assess their game tape to see if they are good or not.

Someone else to keep an eye on despite recently tweeting “recruitment 100% open” is Sam Gadie, his likes suggest a bias for the good guys
 
We should be looking for guys stating they are in for a visit this coming weekend. The only one that is public is Justice Ugo - CB Juco from Blinn Texas

The local Connecticut offers should be this weekend or next

how about Rivals and 247. Seems they will not cover us from the Fanbase. But they won't ignore if a kid tells them he is visiting.

Kid has 11 P5 offers out there, would be a nice grab.
 
Transfer portal mechanics and rules allow you to take kids up until when you open summer camp in August. We are all focused on the fact we need at least two new starters on the OLine. And maybe 4 or 5 total; we may need to work all angles until August. Plus other positional needs.

There is the story of a Utah Center who saw he dropped on the team depth chart last summer and transferred on 7/27. Started 12 games for his bowl bound new school. We probably don't get many star FCS OLine or FBS quality starters in the Porta[; maybe the same path as the QBs: good solid measurables and highly ranked HS kids that just never rose to Starter at a solid P5. Take a kid who is at a second /third depth at Michigan or Maryland ... and he gets a fresh second chance.
 
I hear UMass has been surprisingly bold trying to work the portal and work HS guys we are recruiting too... Connection below would be DB Coach Perkins who moved up the river to join HC Brown.

I just don't see how UMass will make it work. Don Brown felt like a flat hire to me, but i guess they don't really have many options

I believe McGill was one of the first players offered when Perkins went to UMass to join Brown's staff.
