2024 UConn Football Commit - Cole Welliver (Denton, Texas)

[DoctorWho85]

He certainly looks the part.

Huge pickup. These Texas QBs are typically a little more advanced than you'll find in most areas, sans California. The coaching is just on another level due to how they prioritize football in Texas. 6ft6, big kid. Gotta love it. Huge get by Mora and company. Even better, he'll now become the ambassador of the class and help recruit.

Like Lagow without the super involved message board posting dad.

That offer list really says something. Great news.

This is like when the colonies won the Battle of Saratoga. Shows we're not fooling around.

Now that's more like it.

We've had our fill of running backs masquerading as signal callers. Time to get serious with the recruiting.....and it appears we have.

This seems like a lot of schools in a short amount of time

Well, he relocated from WA to TX.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Cole!!!

Shucks I thought it was Big 12 news

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

We dont need no stinkin' portal transfer QB!

Welcome aboard Cole!

 

[TMB4405]

Awesome. Keep climbing. In Mora we trust.

 

[UCFBfan]

This is amazing! I hope this turns out better than our last high ranked TX QB that never quite made it that long on campus.....

Welcome to UConn Cole!

 

[gsmooth]

Welcome aboard, Cole

Welcome to UConn Cole!

Better coach by a factor of 10.

 

[freescooter]

He better perform as a true freshman or half this board will have him replaced. Best of luck to the kid, and welcome!

But if he doesn’t play as a true frosh, Pal will have him as the best quarterback on the roster.

 

[gtcam]

This is BIG in so many ways
Wow HCJM pulled one out the hat here
Congrats Cole and JM

 

[ZachFan]

I sure wish signing day was tomorrow. If he has a big senior year some big fish may come calling

 

[CL82]

Should help us land some solid receivers.

This. Having a quarterback that "can make all the throws" doesn't matter if you can't get separation. But if you put both together, or we immediately become a much more dangerous football team.

We'll just have to have our own big year next year to be that much more attractive.

If UConn gets into the Big 12, then he will likely sign. If UConn doesn't, then I agree that he will look at other options. He was probably told that there is a very high chance UConn goes to the Big 12. Otherwise his commitment doesn't make sense based on where he is from or where he plays high school football or his ranking compared to where UConn is as a program right now.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Mora is definitely showing his recruiting chops as previously stated, but honestly he's such a knowledgeable and likeable coach a lot of recruits I think would love to just play for him and that helps.

-> Welliver is the No. 293 recruit in the ESPN 300 rankings for the Class of 2024 and the No. 12 quarterback in his class. Given four stars by ESPN and three on 247Sports, where he is ranked No. 60 at his position…

… After passing for 2,263 yards, 17 touchdowns and six interceptions in his first season as a varsity starter at Flower Mound Marcus last fall, Welliver transferred to Argyle Liberty Christian, where he’ll play for former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, according to the Dallas Morning News. <-

I want to hear Coach Mora say it.

 

[Guru13]

Glad Mora went back to recruit/offer kids from the Dallas Ft-Worth Area. Cannot miss with having a Texas kid
