No.
Kelly brought them immediate success, but Bill Mella kind of instilled a culture of winning. When Mella left, DJ Hernandez sort of ran the program astray. Drury's got it back on track and will continue to do so, Southington is a pretty big football town with lots of residents and good athletes.
why?
That's a tough road. A P5 offer will be taken over UConn 95% of the time, and any Fairfield County kid from the wealthy towns like Wilton with pretty good test scores/grades will be pushed toward an Ivy rather than UConn.
Wow..............I love your optimism, you should mail this to Edsall and tell him he's wasting his time.
Danbury is almost at 3400 for this school year
Not positive but I believe there’s some history when he was coaching at another high school and he wasn’t happy with the state of the program the last couple years. I’m regards to Jah, who’s BC bound, he felt like edsall didntbpay him enough attention until after he already had a ton of offers.
CIAC uses a rolling average, probably from a year or two ago, I believe.
I don't know about that, Joyner didn't even make All-State last year, so alot of football people didn't know about Joyner. That being said, a kid with 11 sacks his junior year in the FCIAC is bound to be noticed by somebody. I'll bet some one tipped off Addazio, and BC grabbed him first. If the kid felt BC was the place to go because they offered him first then my hat's off to Addazio. Addazio's a Cheshire guy anyway IIRC, and he's done well in CT last few years, Zach Allen and Jack Conley (New Canaan), AJ Dillon (New London), Pallozollo (Fairfield Prep) among others. If anything this taught Edsall a good lesson on recruiting in state, do the legwork and build a good organization in state, and you'll find players.
Didn't know that. Thanks medic. All five or six schools that offered him first probably all thought they had him in the bag, Lol. Good point on Edsall's demeanor.
his recruiting kind of of blew up out of nowhere during the winter months i believe. I don't remember him being talked about that much during the season, but he has all the measurables that college coaches are looking for.
there are so many magnet schools in/around hartford that not as many kids go to the public schools anymore.
Senior class in every sport is loaded with talent
You do know that New Britain is historically #2 in the state in the number of wins by its football program. 792 wins IIRC, number one historically is Ansonia with 800 some odd wins.
Some very intriguing interconference games coming up this weekend. Darien vs Southington, St Joe's vs NDWH, Newtown vs Fairfield Prep. Also FCIAC matchup Greenwich vs Trumbull looks interesting, although Greenwich will probably win, the question is by how much. Trumbull is not a bad team. Also Masuk plays Windsor and Weston visits Hillhouse.
