DC Anthony Poindexter

[selles]

Any other info on this guy?

I saw a lot of UVA while he was a player, and Poindexter was one of the best college safeties I've ever seen. Think Bennie Blades. A tough SOB. He suffered a tragic knee injury his senior year or he would have been a top pick and my guess is he would have had multiple pro bowls. The best player on some really good Virginia teams. Loved him as a player.

No idea whether he can coach. It sure looks like Diaco is going to go after the very fertile Virginia recruiting grounds. Probably smart since London is a dead man walking at UVA - his in-game coaching moves make PP look like Belichick.

Yes

I think we have at least 4 guys that were Recruiting Coordinators at their school. We also have guys with ties to major harvest areas ... VA, Georgia and now Florida. I do expect 6-9 new commitments. Should be a busy month.

NCAA recruiting "dead period" ends 1/15. Hopefully, all hands on deck now and very soon, working the phones and emails and the chance to line up face to face visits for three weeks until 2/5/14,...should be very busy in Storrs....

Why is the dead period so late? Are they afraid the BCS Bowl teams might lose a recruit while they're being drooled over by the media in January? I can see the first week but beyond that seems excessive.

Changed it this year...

"Extending the winter dead period and adding a summer dead period will allow coaches and recruits a break from the recruiting process while still ensuring appropriate time for everyone to make informed recruiting decision," the NCAA said in a release when the proposals were announced."

“@JustinABC13: (Part 1) I spoke with Anthony Poindexter at 630pm today. I asked are you the new def. coord. at UConn? He said, "Not yet but I will be."”

“@JustinABC13: (Part 2) He then asked for me to call him back in 2 hours. I did and he did not pick up and has not returned text messages.”

“@JustinABC13: (Part 3) Rumors of Al Golden going from Miami to Penn State could be holding up Poindexter's decision. Those two coached together.”

Gonna assume PSU can pay more. Tough deal.

He ain't nothing special. Next.... WTF.....

Actually Diaco has some flexibility w/ current hires if this goes in the toilet. Wolthausen was a DC @ Louisville his last year before following Petrino to the Falcons. Hope it gets sorted out and he comes but...

In the mean time - James Franklin to PSU!!!!!!!

Maybe were good. Hoping so. I really want us to have one of those lights out recruiters.

I personally think we're good. Poindexter said he was coming. He probably just needed more time to notify people and follow general protocol.

Poindexter landed Quin Blanding this year, a safety who's a unanimous top 5 player in the country.

For whatever reason, this makes me feel even better about getting Poindexter. Not only was I excited about his resume, but we also beat out Penn State for his services. Nice!!!

Poindexter withdrew when he realized there was not enough money for his assistants.

Impressive stuff. You see where coach Diaco may be focusing for recruiting.

I just highlight the tweet and copy it but some are easier than others depending on feed and which device.

Unless you're below a certain age, many people consider such an incapability a positive attribute. Winning!
