OT: 2026 UConn Football Commit - Melvin Hills (New Iberia, Louisiana)

You folks just can’t help yourselves…

… and people wonder why new player commit threads get locked.
Almost like there are alot of us older folks on the thread who's minds wander off to "the good old days". Still wondering how or why we ended up with 3 guys from Bogalusa, LA. Sorry, not sorry Medic

I think there was a connection with Bogalusa because of the Dropo brothers. Walt Dropo was a major league baseball player for the Red Sox and other teams, his brothers also were UConn athletes. I believe they had a fireworks business down in Louisiana and connected the athletes to Storrs. I think Greg Andrews, a wide receiver who played with Rick Robustelli and Vinnie Clements was the first athlete we had from Bogalusa.
