2023 Recruiting Thread

[huskymedic]

Hopefully all these unranked guys turn out to just be slept on.

Also, my casual observation is that these recruiting websites have reduced their coverage of the bottom 1/2 of FBS the last few seasons leaving more players without “ratings.”

^^ This ^^.

I also believe that recruiting site staff that used to spend time on rating high school players has been diverted/distracted covering the portal and player movement there.

Just look @ the disparity in rankings between sites. Rivals has Ricky Lee (GA), Jackson Harper (CT-Prep) & Carsten Casady (NC) as 3* while 247 has all of them unranked. The only UConn commit w/ a ranking on 247 is Cameron Chadwick (3* NJ) while he has no ranking on Rivals. On3 is still trying to find their footing in the space.

On3 started out as really good to the smaller guys and then has faded more towards the upper side recently. Sad because I love On3 I think they're still the best site.

UConn Alum Jay Williams started his own recruit rankings site called recruitcertified.com -- Where he tries his best to do professional totally unbiased ratings and he's been pretty good about it, just is a one-man show so it's tough to cover a lot. I'm all for it, though!

Toluwanimi Tunde is a 6-5 265lb DL/OL from Canada Prep Academy in St. Catharines, Ontario Canada. Other offer from Buffalo.

"Overall this is a very underrated pickup for the Huskies, as Tunde is still very new to the game only playing for a little of a year so far."

I think we get Zack Drawdy and then maybe like 3 more ‘23s down the road. Hopefully all these unranked guys turn out to just be slept on. Was kinda hoping for a better looking class. When it come to rankings, what Edsall had by now was somehow better.

We now have a post by Allen talking about a WR commitment on the day that Drawdy announces

Does this count as a commit??? Somebody on Twitter seems to think so...

I’ve been wrong before but I’m not taking this as a commitment yet (and there has been no change to his social media profile).
