2026 Recruiting Thread

That's an interesting choice, perhaps he would rather the certainty of having a known destination vs the possibility of a new hire at UConn preferring someone else (without him having been signed)
 
Like.... I "get" it to a degree but simultaneously does the word "commit" just have no meaning anymore? Like, their prerogative to change their mind but the semantics just makes no sense to me at all
 
Losing out on high school commits does not bother me at all. High school recruiting just does not make sense for a school like us at this point in time. They're going to be lower tier recruits and if we hit a homerun on one of them there's a good chance they move on.

I think Power 4 conference players with 2 years of eligibility who were formerly highly ranked recruits but for some reason are not getting opportunities at their current schools should be our target. I think the UConn brand would appeal to these players since they're used to being at a big brand school and going from Wisconsin to UConn doesn't feel as big of a step down as going from Wisconsin to Kennesaw State or Ball State.

I'm fine with high school recruiting focused on Connecticut or neighboring states because those players might actually stick around and having some talent pipelines in place is never a bad thing but I don't see that as a primary way of us getting high quality talent.

At least he still has this pinned to his Twitter Page, but I have seen anything that he officially signed.

Time to hit the portal. New coach needs to be a go getter. Plenty of talent that is second orchard string at SEC and BIG schools.

3rd string works for me. Many of the 2nd string guys are getting lots of playing time. Greater risk reward in the players that are not seeing the field or seeing very limited time- just special teams.

Today is the last day of the "early signing period."

The next window opens on Feb 4th.

Given all the tumult, seems like college football is poised to have a more active Feb window for high schoolers than in prior years. I would not be surprised if our new coach brings in 5 to 10 in Feb which would be a notable increase vs prior years.
