Dobbs to Temple

Apparently, I left out an important qualifier with my statement: 'a bad reputation amongst UConn football followers'. Other than that I stand firmly behind what I said.

Again, I wish Montrell all the success in the world - except against UConn. I've always followed Temple because I'm from Philly and I almost went there instead of UConn, so I will definitely keep tabs on the young man...

IMO it's garbage. Alex Thomas is graduating from Yale, Keith Pelatowski graduated from Yale, John Cristowski graduated from Yale, James Lane from Trinity, Sharkey from Brown, Glenn Antrum from UCONN, Romando Stallings San Diego State, Sandy Osiecki from Arizona State.

Pick any high school in this state and track their athletes that were sent to college and i'm sure you can find a few that were not successful. This argument is rediculous.

So now we are blaming Luke Richmond for not getting along with Edsall? Alot of that might be on Edsall. Edsall seems to enter a new program the way Patton entered Germany.

Considering the most recent players from Ansonia who UConn has been involved with, it's not garbage.
Also, the other Ansonia players listed either were D-1AA, were from such a long time ago, or never finished up their career's with whomever they chose to play for.
Richmond was listed by that Ansonia supporter, as an Ansonia example. Whether he did, or didn't get along with Edsall, he underperformed and didn't finish. That's a fact.

Haven't heard any other mention about anyone else though? Although Williams came out of no where. I wonder if a Juco comes in or another freshman a little under the radar?

Williams came out of nowhere for us fans but had an offer last year and needed to prep a half year to qualify. So while he was a surprise to us he wasn't to the coaching staff.
 
Forget about Ansonia High kids - I'm seriously concerned at the level of education some of you guys got at your high schools back in the day.

Using three examples over several years to damn an entire school? I'm not sure if your math teacher or science teacher was the one to let you down, but you should ask for an apology.

Luke chose to forego his final year of eligibility, but he graduated.

How about "amongst some UConn followers...". I'm a UConn fan and I certainly don't subscribe to the notion that there is an academic problem across the board with Ansonia. Take each case on its own merit. These are three isolated cases each with their own particular set of circumstances, nothing more.
 
Side note, I'm glad that Montrell landed on his feet. Temple feels like one of the best non-BCS landing places nearby. I feel a lot better for him there, as opposed to Marshall.
