2026 Recruiting Thread

It stinks we lose Skyler and Murphy at WR and Hansen and Honig at TE, and of course Fagnano, but we have Evers, Neider, Bowman, Porter, Smith, and Harper at WR, Vereen and a couple younger TEs, that got decent size and reps this year returning, as well as most of our RB room if D. Brown has a redshirt left to use and opts to come back. So I think for sure they look for a dynamic WR they can use the way we used Bell, and an experienced O-lineman or two.

But we have 5 key contributors returning on defense next year which is a big difference from the 2 we had returning this year. That being said we need to find some impact playmakers on that side of the ball, we can never see a team go for it on 4th and 1 from their own 10 in the 3rd quarter again. Total lack of respect for our Defense to do that.

My overall point is we are pretty set on O, so we need to really grab some impact defenders. Some plug and play LBs, some topend D-linemen, a rangy safety, and a lockdown corner.

I'm glad we signed a good kicker because that's an area we don't want to neglect either.
Maybe Evers will have improved; maybe porter will take the step we all want to see him take; Neider has been a pleasant surprise this year, hopefully he continues to develop.

You can't just call on them and call it a day. Everyone needs to be recruited over and you hope that they step up and it's 1A and1B.

With all the names that were honored at Senior day, it will be interesting to see who is still here next season.

I'm praying Evers learned a few tricks after sitting this year.. We need him to come up big for us... Fagnano may have been the most flawless QB in UConn Football history (FBS... even better than Dan 0)... The guy showed every bit of what a 7 year college vet can do for a football program at QB... Wish he had 1 more year... Hoping a lot of that success was helped by our new QB coach too.. that'd mean all our QBs might be able to open things up and follow suit...

Super intrigued about Ksaan Farrar .. Will he leapfrog Evers and Tucker?

The new staff will have to re-recruit these players. That is why the new head coach is so important

Xavier Wimbush is a 6-0 190lb DB from Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn Virginia. Other offers from Bryant, Buffalo, Hampton, Monmouth, Morgan State, New Hampshire, Old Dominion, Rhode Island, Sacred Heart and Towson

Xavier was in Storrs for his official visit back @ the beginning of June.

 
So he doesn't even care that some of them didn't even decommit he's just offering them anyway? It's become an even dirtier business than it was before.
It's not unusual for schools to offer kids who have verballed elsewhere, it was happening for some of these kids before Mora left. Schools swooping in or trying to snipe committed kids been a thing since long before UConn was in FBS.
 
He'll probably justify it by saying it's not poaching/tampering, as the kids haven't signed anything yet, nor are already on a team, opposed to what he was bitching about after last season. JMO.
