Excellent News, it is the skill positions that can take you to the top and PP is making an impact with recruiting in this area. It will be great to watch you play at the Rent, Welcome Arkeel!
 
Awesome!!! What does he do if PP doesn't survive the season? I hope he comes either way but getting Arkeel on campus is one major reason that I am pulling for PP to right the ship and come up big this year.

It really is. Seemed like a nice family. Talked to his mom at a dinner in Ansonia. Sometimes though these kids don't get great advice or mentorship.

Best News in a Long time. Welcome Mr Newsome!

May your fb career be as successful at UConn's level as your old Ansonia alums Pat, Tim, and Terry McNamara's were at Trinity.

Pat Mac was a good friend of my wife's...and in the short time I got to know him was one of the most stand-up guys I have ever met in my life. I miss the times we shared just shooting the over a beer at a GFOA conference! I never knew about Pat's football accomplishments until after he passed...I wish I did though because I would have loved to listen to his stories about playing for Ansonia!
 
I may be mistaken but isn't that video from his freshman season? While I saw a time stamp from 2010 I also saw a few time stamps pop up with 2007 as well.

I'm all for kids studying to get it right but how long has he been in high school? (tongue planted firmly in cheek)

That's a WTNH channel 8 website so....is that the best they could find? We'd be all over Dez or the Courant if they ran a frosh video with an annoying red arrow over the runner.

He's got wheels for sure.

Well played Mr. XX.
 
Surprised no one has mentioned he is 'only' a 3-star by scout and rivals, for whatever that's worth.

Always think the CT kids who come here get a little too overhyped. But would be neat if he followed the path of this guy

Amatuer. If you want to spool up the Nancy Naysayers you need to show that his unranked by ESPN. You know, the network that has it out for everything Uconn.

As the saying goes. Just because you're paranoid that everyone is out to get you doesn't mean they aren't.

Ranked the #18 All Purpose Back in the country by Rivals for 2014.

Naysayers say that means he isn't good enough to be an every down back. You need misdirection and trick plays to make him valuable.
 
Gotta give P credit on the recruiting trail. Hopefully Newsome is the next in line of great UConn running backs.
 
In all seriousness, it's a real good commit on paper.

I won't get in to the whole local kid vs best kid debate. He's a high quality kid who has two years of excellent game film.

And I agree that it's cool to have kids committing who "grew up watching Uconn football" at the Rent. As several others have pointed out, today's high school kids have only known Uconn to be a BCS school playing at the Rent. Playing out of trailers is as much history to them as Vietnam and the Civil War.

I think some of the CT kids we have coming in could break that mold. Take a look at the backfield potential roster the year he arrives, including QB's. It could be a real beast for 2-3 years. Visions of TD's are dancing through my head.

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!

I was two or three years behind him at Trinity. Inch for inch, the best receiver I have ever watched play at getting to the ball and making the catch. The plays he made for such a small guy as the primary wideout were truly remarkable.
 
5-foot-9, 185-pound Newsome has run for 6,818 yards, an average of 11.2 yards per carry, and 108 touchdowns in his three-year career.

Seems like a talent kid. For those who are familiar with him does he red shirt his frosh year or does he play?

I would imagine that's with teams k owing he is getting the ball which makes it more impressive

Dont confuse me with HFD. I dont give a crap about marketing to the extent he does. However, somebody acts like a F#CKF@CE I'm gonna let them know about it. Get your holier than thou shinanigans off this board with your internet muscles punk.

Well, thank goodness we can count on you for that.
 
Great get. We've had a tough time keeping kids from the Valley eligible. Hopefully Arkeel becomes a star here
