Nice speed off the edge and the size to get bigger.

Welcome to Storrs, Charlie Go Huskies!

If I remember correctly OConnor lost his senior year @ New Canaan High due to a broken leg and headed to Choate Rosemary Hall for a PG year.

great pursuit! Choate plays against very good competition.

Good for him for sticking with it. That's a pretty serious rehab and recovery then stepping back in against good competition. Welcome to UConn Charlie!

 

[Waquoit]

As far as I'm concerned, there's always room for a Charlie on my team.

Nice

Good lean and finishing. Speed for DE, not sure LB but let's see how he develops.

Were we his only option?

Looks like Marist and Columbia may have offered him spot. Not sure of others.

This is where I trust the staff. UConn should be taking a flyer on an in-state kid like this. HCRE should have done it more often.

Columbia? How are they academically? Gotta keep the New Canaan/Fairfield County pipeline going when a stud is available

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Charlie!!!

Good to see you getting on the Husky train Charlie. Best wishes for a great career at UConn!

Pretty sure that Coach Mora will ensure he has some good academic transfer options and still be able to play football if the highest level of football doesn't work out for him.

Good name. My favorite roller derby star when I was a kid.

He sure looked fast and coordinated for his size. But then compared to me just about everyone is.

If you ever saw Bill Romanowski coming out of high school you’d think they are very similar. Big frame, kind of on the lean side, super cat fast. Kind of similar. I can see what Mora likes.

Think that was Charlie O'Connell. With Joan Weston, they had a great men's and women's unit. The San Francisco Bay Area Bombers!

You’re right. Sugar Ray Robinson’s son was an opponent.
