More size! I can't get over how great this class is for UCONN. Bringing in size is big, no pun intended. And looking at Nazir's pic, he's already got a NFL frame.

Welcome to the Dog Pound!!

Another tall kid that can grow into an absolute monster.

Ha. Glad to help.

Looks like an outside backer to me. Need lots of them in Diaco's system.

Welcome Nazir, to the family.

 

[LRock34]

9 commits before July. All I can say is wow. Welcome Nazir!

 

[sportsart]

But the real question is, does he like soccer?

Great get. Welcome Nazir.

Serious question?

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Nazir!!!

Welcome to UConn Nazir! Diaco is planting roots in the mid-atlantic states. That is critical for our success.

 

[huskysupporter]

Anyone know what position he was recruited at? Looking at his highlights, looks like he can bulk up a bit and play TE, or bulk up a lot and play DE in the 3-4. From the picture, looks like he has the frame.

 

[Jerry27]

Dez is indicating him coming in as an OLB

9 recruits in... are the only FBS offers for all 9 from - Temple, Buffalo, ODU and Cincinnati? At least according to Scout?

Good size for an OLB/DE. Welcome to the Huskies Nazir.

And what does that I've to do with the price of tea in China?

 

[Dynasty]

yes.

They don't actually assign them jersey numbers yet. They just give them the number they wear in high school.

It has no bearing on the price of tea in China.

Winning recruits against better programs has a pretty clear connection with winning football games.

I'm trusting Diaco until he gives me reason not to. And I'm hoping we're locking these guys down early while the better programs are waiting to evaluate their senior seasons. They all have the size and frames, they all appear to be high character guys. We've got a lot of experience mixed with a lot of young talent in our coaching staff. We've had plenty of teams that were better than the sum of their parts, and lately teams that were the opposite.

The good news is, we've clearly got closers on the staff. We used to get recruits with the same "other offers" after their senior seasons. It's still June and we've got 9 commits. That's outstanding for a staff that hasn't coached a game together. Sure I'd like to see us beating out better programs, but I'm choosing to fill my energy bucket and look at the glass half full.

My hunch is that we'll see a number of these guys garner attention/offers from other schools this fall. It'll be an interesting position for us to be in.

I'd love to buy into this... If the bigger programs didn't already have more verbals.

I won't judge Diaco at all until he's had 18 games but it's impossible to look at the lack of offers and not see a giant red flag.
