I'm not the biggest grammar nazi, but I really wanted to believe that this tweet was just a case of spastic auto-correct.

Lets look on the bright side of this - we still have a player at CB in the young man from Illinois - and this opens another spot up for a young man who wants to come in, compete, possibly start right away, LOVE FOOTBALL and most importantly wants to be a Husky.
Kids change their mind, it is what it is, this is not that big of a deal.
I see a QB in our future - someone with some recruit knowledge - Who will it be!?!?!

While ALL SCHOOLS have decommits, when you have a PUTRID season, and I truly mean PUTRID / AWFUL, don;t be surprised when TALENTED players, with many available choices, go to better / more successful programs.
We NEED A GREAT SEASON DESPERATELY to put some shine on this program.

#UConnFootball recruit Justice Pettus-Dixon has de-committed. Hear he wants to be closer to home, no issue there: 2 spots to fill for '15.

Actually three with Davis coming in early. My hope one other will come in early to free up another ship for 2015

Actually, it is 3 regardless since Pettus-Dixon's decommitment leaves 22 commits left. 4, if Diaco wants to take advantage of Davis coming in early as you mentioned.
Committed to Towson today.

@UCFBfan
What is your problem? I am passionate and hopeful about the future of this program I enjoy following recruiting and the commitments that come with each and every class. Yet some are so quickly to chide ones enthusiasm for a particular commitment or recruit when thinking about the future. That's what the bone yard is for. Especially when you have a 2013,2014, 2015 etc recruiting thread and thinking about the upcoming year. To have some say it is "ridiculous" to count current commitments in future plans when looking at depth chart and the roster is not fair.
As to my comment. How does anything I said make me a dick? Following recruiting is not ridiculous. You yourself follow it for even reading and replying in such a thread. Therefore that would make you ridiculous as well. But ok. If you don't care until they sign, then don't check in, don't comment and "don't care" until signing day. Thank you.

I would have been alright with NC State or Maryland, using the "closer to home" reason. But Towson? I know there are a considerable number of Rob Ambrose fan club members on this board but I"m not one of them. One of Diaco's strengths when he was hired was recruiting reputation.
Unless we have another kid lined up, I'm bummed. The day is here that we're losing kids to FCS schools. I wish the kid the best but as a UCONN fan, this one feels like a kick to the scrotum.

We didn't lose Pettus-Dixon to an FCS school. We lost him to the allure of playing at home. Pettus-Dixon is from Baltimore, the same city where Towson University is located. If he wanted to play at home, then it doesn't get any closer than that.

My problem is posters, you in particular, telling people where and when they should comment. I am not gonna say more on it other than that. You have done it to multiple posters on this board and honestly, I find it obnoxious. Be as passionate as you want but don't tell people what to do or when to post.
As for this kid, I wish him the best of luck. Recruiting is not an easy thing to follow and I try and stay away from it. Glad the kid has found somewhere closer to home and I wish him all the best.
Time to move on to finding kids who wanna wear UConn blue and white and help rebuild this program.
Enlighten me. It seems you were sensitive to my comments. You commented on some, me in particular apparently following recruiting, by saying following recruiting is ridiculous, yet you're here following it. I did not tell you where nor when you should comment. If I did. Share and I will acknowledge my wrong doings for sharing, my opinion.

Like I said, I'm done. If you wanna carry on with this so be it but I'm not going to clutter up the board with anymore of this. I found your comment to be obnoxious. If this was the recruiting board I'd understand. It's not, it's the football board and there was a thread about a recruit that I read and made a comment on. You respond by telling me not to comment anymore. That's what bothered me. I'm moving on, hopefully you will as well.
You're not cluttering up the board. In fact, you are commenting and responding in a thread about a recruit in which you commented saying "following recruiting is ridiculous." So again, if it is so ridiculous, don't comment and chime in on exactly that recruits and recruiting threads. Not sure what you don't get about that. Call it ridiculous yet comment on it. I will admit I have been obnoxious in other instances, this is not one of them. You commented on a recruit thread about following recruiting. You said following recruiting is ridiculous. Again, I ask, Where does that leave you? You say following recruiting is ridiculous, yet you respond in a recruit thread saying just that. If it is so "ridiculous" just stay away from it all together.
