2023 Recruiting Thread

I don't think Mora views the portal as a place to find short term players to fill holes. Believe it not, most of UConn's portal recruits have come in with 3 or 4 years of eligibility so most of the players are development prospects. By my count, only 4 of the players had 1 year of eligibility.

In order to be competitive we need to take this route a few more recruiting cycles more than we'd normally like... which is fair in today's FBS football climate... no time to sit back and wait 2 to 3 years before half the team is ready to play...

->Thank you to my Heavenly Father for everything he has planned out for me. Thank you to Coach Jim Mora and @CoachDHilliard for believing in me like they did back in 2018, the original UCLA staff that recruited me. #HUSKYREVOLUTION <-

Hate quoting Farrell but...


-> 6. OL/DL Tyler Manoa – UCLA​

Manoa spent most of his UCLA career on the defensive line but moved to the offensive side prior to the 2022 season. As a defensive lineman he totaled 53 tackles, 1.5 tackles for a loss and one sack in 41 games, while on the offensive line he played in each of UCLA’s first four games this season. Already has announced offers from Akron, UConn and San Jose State. <-

... if he picks UConn, Farrell will downgrade him. ;)

Would love your insight on the competition he's played against.

It's Massachusetts HS. I've watched two of his games. Most of the players he's against are D2 at best. Not trashing on the kid, but I wanna see how he is against D1 pass rushers in the Spring if he comes early.
 
Losing confidence in Lee's commitment... He's recently been posting his offers, and UV'd at Louisville about a month ago (He posted some pics on his Instagram Story). I think it's definitely something to watch, but I heard he plans on graduating in December and joining us for the Spring semester, so we will see...
 
Adding to that: he was on the sideline before the game for MTSU
