Brian Lemelle

[BNich]

HUGE commitment.. absolutely HUGE... productive kid... I really liked our chances when I saw he took an OV to Iowa with 4 other WRs...

Looks like we finally took one from Iowa! His offer list is quite impressive and leaves me feeling warm and fuzzy that kid with his ability chose UConn over all other offers.

Dez just tweeted it was Hughes and not Weist.

Regardless another great get and this class continues to get even better. Come on Laray!

Nice job by #UConnFootball coach Hank Hughes on landing WR Lemelle, too

Weist was on him from Cincy... So it was a team effort.

have we ever had two commitments in the top 100 at a skill position? bradley and Lemelle, don't forget Thomas who is one of the best players in the state. Nice some playmakers on offense.

I think we addressed the TE and WR positions quite well this year. Now lets get a couple "Big Uglies" to round out the class.

Need holes opened and protection for the rest of the pack. Agree big ugly time......

Just took another look at the schools this kid had offered. Very impressed

Huge recruiting day today. I am REALLY excited for the season to start.

Based on this article it is doubtful we get Lemelle without Weist. It looks like last year's disappointing season will pay dividends down the road, if Christen makes that field goal against Temple we make a bowl game and GDL might still be the offensive coordinator and Lamelle goes to another school.

Lamelle is the all time leading receiver in Pennsylvania history! He is easily the most polished WR recruit to ever come to UCONN. I don't care if Difton had 4 stars he didn't have the offers that Lamelle has. This kid along with Guttierez will give us the deep threats we didn't have last year.

Lamelle said Weist will be his position coach. Weist is OC and WR coach? Works for me.

Lemelle looks so smooth in his videos, and so polished, on the other end Dhameer Bradley looks so explosive. I think these two are crucial to the recruiting class and the future of this program. The staff really focused on the offensive skill positions this class. Need to see one more RB, come on down Laray Smith and one more OL type, Chaz Wright.

Did l see he was 2nd team Parade All American? Did we know that?

Yes indeed, Lemelle has shades of Victor Cruz to me.

Honorable Mention.

As an aside - Lemelle (90) and Bradely (66) among Top 100 WR ths year (Rivals).

 

[joey3$trike$]

playmakers that's what this o needs

 

[UconnMICK]

Dead horse alert: A big key to next season's success will be how much improvment we see in the O-line. The QB, whoever it turns out to be, needs more time to get the ball out to the playmakers without constantly being under duress from the pass rush.

 

[gioff23]

Hard to argue w/play of OL, but it is a 2-way street - this O needs WRs who can create space, and we have not had that in, well, forever. There were times Whitmer had time, he just had no one getting open.
