After an impressive win against Pittsburgh last Friday and heading into a bye week, the UConn coaching staff got some good recruiting news this morning. Three-star linebacker
Cory Jasudowich of Cheshire (Conn.) Cheshire Academy, who had been committed to Boston College, changed his mind and is now a member of the UConn family.
Jasudowich flipped this morning
"I made the switch," said Jasudowich. "I'm not committed to UConn. I'm very excited about it."
Jasudowich explained why he made the flip.
"To me UConn would be a much better fit," he said. "I wanted to be able to play for my home. Connecticut is where I belong."
While his flip to UConn was only done this morning, Jasudowich made it known that this was a long time coming.
"I've been thinking about this for awhile now," he said. "I wanted to do my research and discuss it with my coach and also my family. I realized that UConn is my new home."
Besides the importance of playing close to home, Jasudowich shared what else impressed him about UConn.
"Everything, but the academics are key," he said. "Their facilities are unbelievable and the coaches are unreal. The team is also full of players just like me."
While the entire coaching staff impressed him, Coach DeLeone stood out the most.
"He is a North Branford native just like I am," he said. "He is a great guy and I can see myself playing for him and Coach P."
With this move now complete, Jasudowich is obviously relieved.
"I feel better than I ever did," he said. "Just to have all of this recruiting over with is great and to finally be home is the best feeling of all."
Jasudowich's family is equally excited.
"They are more than happy with my decision and the fact that they are only 45 minutes away from me," he said.
Jasudowich will work to get back to campus to check out a game and also schedule his official visit in the coming weeks.
UConnReport.com will continue to stay in touch with Jasudowich as we head towards National Signing Day.
