2023 Recruiting Thread

Sounds like the official visit went well from UConn’s perspective:

Kid has no real meaningful college stats. He looks the part of a LB and I personally give a lot of points for being an Ivy grad. Kind of a reach here though, no?

Maybe… He’s a Grad Transfer w/ one year eligibility remaining and had more tackles in 2022 than any returning LB not named Mitchell. Always need depth. Not a lot of risk in my mind.

He also had a ST analyst tagged in his tweet

He had stats in 2022:

10 games. 44 tackles. 2 TFL. 0.5 sacks.

There is another twist to the transfer portal. I think the current rule states that if you pick up a kid in the portal, you are committing to him until he gets a degree or uses up his eligibility. Thus, grabbing a kid who has a degree and one year of eligibility is an easy grab.

They have it on 247 as well. BTW, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE THEIR RAN KINGS ARE! UMass is ranked 108 with 6 signees and 2 transfers. They only have us with 11 signees and no transfers, but are Top 2 are better then anyone they signed. But due to their incompetence they don't bother listing our other 4 commits and transfer, let alone ranking half our recruits. Rivals and On3 have no problem doing it. For comparison On3 has us at 96 and UMass at 121.
 



Eriq Gilyard is a 5-11 230lb LB from Jacksonville Florida>UCF>Kansas.

 
Lost 5 LBs to graduation this year: Bembry, Bouyer-Randle, Bryant, Swenson, and Webb. I would think they are looking to bring in 2 or 3 more transfers.
No argument, but since we have underecruited the position and we do have a short term need, I’d prefer we not use a full scholly on this position on anything less than P5 talent. We will see plenty of adds after bowl season and more after spring.

I believe Webb has 2 years of eligibility remaining.

Might be a good basher who can compliment Jackson Mitchell!

Looks like Coach Pehrson posted for four commitments after last weekend, so waiting on two more announcements

Do they do the commitment posts for PWO commits?

Ahh right. I overlooked Teddy. So probably only one more announcement coming.

It looks like a new LB might be joining and Christian Haynes joined in on the eyeball tweets
Mora and the player himself has liked the Bembry tweet and a good chunk of staff agave liked or reacted as well. Mora as also liked a couple other eyeball tweets as well
