Commit #8 - Jasen (Jay) Rose (QB/TE) - Southington HS, Southington CT

[CoachVern]

I am glad he didn't pick Bama or USC!

 

[Doggie Style]

I think he narrowed his choices down to UConn and Syracuse because those were the only two schools to consider him playing QB

Sometimes you get some great talent that way. The reason we got Donald Brown was because we were willing to let him play at the RB position. Everyone else, Iowa etc... Wanted him to play defensive back so he took a pass. If this works out half as good as DB did, were in good shape!!

Everyone wanted Marshall Faulk to play CB. Only SDS recruited him as a RB. And he ran all the way to the NFL Hall of Fame.

Faulk was one of my favorite players growing up. He played at SDSU with a high school teammate of mine.

 

[BoatShow]

YES

 

[HuskyHawk]

Add this to a nice showing on Saturday and I dare say we might see some optimism around here. Great pickup for HCBD.

 

[Dooley]

Holy frack! Damn it feels REAL GOOD to be excited for our future once again!!

What are we all going to argue about now?

What are we all going to argue about now?

Whether we're going to beat Mizzou by 20 or 40?

I saw him run for 380 yards as a freshman. In one game. Unbelievable.

.@SouthingtonFB #CTHSFB star Jason Rose says yes to @UConnFootball, sorry @CuseFootball.

Jay is 6-4 225lb w/ other offers from Wisconsin, WVU, NCST, Pitt, Maryland, Syracuse, Wake Forest and BC.

He must be good if he plays QB and TE. Does he throw the ball to himself? How many years has he been the starting QB?

 

[UCONN2004]

Welcome to UCONN Jay!

 

[freescooter]

Great get, but please please please no posts that he needs to be the starting quarterback from the day he shows up.

 

[UConnDan97]

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Jay!!!

 

[Woof 101]

NICE ! This is going to have a nice effect in several areas. Hopefully a few he has camped with the last couple of years may follow suit. He turned down a good number of quality programs to come here.
Southington is a great football town, this will surely add fannies in the seats. I know of a group that had a block of seats to share, given up a couple of years ago. Come on back boys, times are changing!
Frosting on the cake? He is humble giving all the credit to his teammates.

Welcome Dawg!

Wow, incredibly huge get. Moving in the right direction. Add talent, coach them up, get wins, get better talent......

His talent was wasted at RB. If he would have played CB he would have been even better.

This coming from the guy that thinks we shouldn't recruit him because he's a skill player form CT. Either way, you have a deal, so long as if he does start, you don't claim that it's only because he's from CT.
