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

[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?

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

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?

Welcome to UCONN Jay!

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

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Jay!!!

Oh ye of little faith

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

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.

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

 

[Chin Diesel]

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.

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.

Breaking News: Southington (Conn.) High quarterback Jay Rose committed to UConn, choosing the Huskies over Syracuse

 

[ctchamps]

That kid is poised. 47 TD's first year as QB.

LOL - sometimes you are so not right.

This is truly great news for UCONN! It will be nteresting to see the competition between Jason and Tyler Davis. As they say, iron sharpens iron! Nice problem to have. Remember this last year?

Um, let's not forget we have a guy by the name of Shirreffs for a couple more years. He looks pretty fair so far.

The depth at Qb will allow Jay Rose the time he needs to develop as a qb...hopefully redshirt. We haven't seen this kind of quality depth at Qb in a LONG time. Next season there will be Sheriffs (RS Jr), Boyle (Sr), Anderson (Sr), Davis (RS Fr), Jasen Rose (Fr), and Donovan Williams (Fr) as scholarship qb's with Bisack (RS Fr) as a walk-on

depth has been an issue for the last few seasons at almost every position, but most importantly QB. This is exciting to see.

 

[Adios]

Word is getting around we're aiming for the Big Ten.

 

[tense50]

This appears to be a great pick-up with UConn winning out over some pretty good D-1 teams. What I noticed, aside from an accurate throwing arm, was the way he seemed to step over several would-be tacklers on his way to scoring a touchdown. I mean, they went down to make a low tackle on him and he literally lifted his lead leg up and stepped over the defender like he was clearing a hurdle. Haven't seen to many qbs do that before. Michael Vick comes to mind, though I make no comparison there. Just an observation. Anyway, "great pick".

 

[BNich]

AWESOME!!!!!

 

[Uconnalliance]

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Jay!!!

Living in town with the Rose's I gotta say they are a classy family and he is a kid that won't disappoint, glad he chose Uconn what a relief! He's a monster of a kid to see in person think 6-3 is an understatement I think more like 6'6" saw him at one of the girls varsity basketball games and he towered over me and I'm 5'11", cheers to the future hopefully he's a big part!
