IF the o-line ever gets straightened out. In all seriousness, I hope that A.N. is the 2nd coming of Terry Caulley. THAT would be something!

1000%

I LOVE this pickup!!! This kid has been on our radar for what seems to be a decade. So glad that he made the right decision. Go Huskies!!!

Getting some great in-state recruits last couple years.

Agreed! I always hated seeing players like Shaughnessy do well at Wisconsin or Schwapp (r.i.p.) do well at Notre Dame, because I felt like they belonged here at UConn. I like that we are starting to build a wall around the CT talent and keeping some great ones home!

Great get. We've had a tough time keeping kids from the Valley eligible. Hopefully Arkeel becomes a star here

excellent point on the eligibility factor. Kenny Tinney and Kuraczea come to mind.

And it says in the blog that Montrell Dobbs is no longer enrolled in Temple........

This kid sounds like he's fully prepped to move onto college and be successful.........hope he is because he's a great talent.
