2022 UConn Football Commit - Zion Turner (Miami Florida)

[rbny1]

Welcome to UConn, Zion!

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Huge pickup for Uconn. It is nice to see Uconn beat out all these P5 schools especially SEC schools.

Don't want to hear we can't recruit at Uconn anymore. With Mora in charge, we are doing things previous coaching staff simply never did.

This is a great pickup. Hopefully, this will lead to bunch of great OLs committing soon.

 

[Waquoit]

My first reaction is "Are you freakin' kidding me?"

 

[RioDog]

Love this. Maybe this is drop of water that opens the recruiting flood gates.

 

[AD DB Burner]

Good video from back in September to give you a little more background into Zion.

I bet there’s Mora these types of recruits coming.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

The QB level on this team is insane compared to the past 10+ years!!

Well, the "past 10+ years" includes UConn football's entire history. During the next several years, may the overall potential QB quality, and revolutionary Huskies' team performance prove to be the most successful to date.

 

[Waquoit]

So in just over a month this staff has brought in QB's to compete now and later. That's kinda what I was hoping for.

 

[huskysupporter]

Look at those offers. Buy in from a commit like this can open the flood gates. Absolutely fantastic job by Coach Mora.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I figured at some point Mora's experience would start attracting top talent. Interesting that Turner mentioned Huntley....i would think having coached Mike Vick in his prime carried some weight also!

Welcome aboard Zion...bring a jacket!

Hopefully this one works out better than Dwayne Difton

I was thinking the same with recruits out of STM.

I will say I have more confidence in a QB coming out of there than a WR or an O Lineman. Sure, STM is ridiculously good with their talent but every game has a half dozen P5 recruits and another half dozen FBS recruits.

Ryan Crozier represented STA well in Storrs.

 

[TheDrifter75]

My phone's broke, 247 says he has 8 P5 offers.

St. Thomas Aquinas produces a ton of college players every year. Off the top of my head, UConn has had 4, Difton, Schnafenacker, Crozier, and Myles Bell on the current roster. And STA has the most alumni on NFL rosters with 14 in 2020 including 3 OL, 4 DL, 2 RB, 2 DB, 1 WR, 1 QB, and 1 P.

Yeah weird how my phone autocorrected "STA" to "STM".

So has Brian Brewton!

I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone. Mora has exceeded every expectation I have had. Perhaps they were too grounded. There is no way this does not reflect on the field even in the short term. I am thrilled tonight. Welcome Zion. Opportunity abounds at Uconn right now and this seems like another young man that has embraced it.

 

[coachcap]

Wow, just wow!
