I believe FCS Butler was his first offer.

Impressive looking WR. Love the sharp cuts, very shifty.

Welcome aboard Lee!

Nice addition! His highlight tape was more impressive than most that we come across to be honest. Happy/quick feet, long burst speed, rangy strong, makes adjustments, destroys guys with his blocking, and really nice football sense. If Rosa in the slot and this guy as a wideout works then wow!

I have to also say that there were several highlights that were pretty damn amusing, including the blocked field goal with his leg (not sure I have ever seen that before!).

And his QB has some crazy ability to buy time against the rush and throw a Hail Mary 50 yards.

Ran the 200 in 23.8. Looks very fast on film.

 

[Slick]

You can't teach size or speed which this player has.

 

[Chin Diesel]

6'3"??

Gotta think you beef him up to a safety or make him a WR.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Lee!!!

 

[UConnRock]

QB is a Florida St commit. Glad to see UConn tapping into the greater Nashville talent. It is a recruiting hotbed. The SEC caliber players get the press, but the depth of talent is impressive. Hopefully UConn can get a recruiting pipeline going.

This looks like a good one. A lot of mid interest so I'm not too concerned if the big shots aren't interested. There's a consensus about his skills and he's coming here. Happy with the trend up for recruiting. A few more pieces and we'll have significantly elevated our talent even under a transitional year. Impressive. And welcome to UConn Lee!

 

[SubbaBub]

Hope he can catch because he is a huge target.

Welcome to UConn, Lee!

Hope he can catch because he is a huge target.

Looks like good hands from the highlights, at least.

 

[coachcap]

Welcome!!

 

[UConn2SF]

Senior season stats (according to his twitter): 13 games, 39 catches, 956 yards (24.5 ypc), 11 TDs

Lee has tremendous length, leaping ability, hands, and speed (GPS clocked 20.1 mph in a game). Big upside recruit.

Look like the Defense may be claiming Molette:

Welcome to the Pound, Lee!

Serious question, how do we just happen to pick up a promising player from Tennessee?

New coaches on staff from Middle Tennessee State and Tennessee-Martin?

Duh! Thanks

 

[DoctorWho85]

Welcome to the pound Dawg.

Nice size. Puts on a few pounds and he's gonna be a beast.

New coaches on staff from Middle Tennessee State and Tennessee-Martin?

Also, Miami of Ohio offered Mollette. Possible hockey assist, UConn ST coach Doug Shearer (ex-Miami) knowing the RedHawks' coaches views on Mollette's potential ?????

 

[Austin316]

WELCOME!!

 

[zmart]

How come he didn't have an offer from Middle Tennessee State?
