Hmmmm -- Is Jay Rose Back?

[huskyrob1]

That's about it. Just keep in perspective that there are single high schools in places in Florida Texas and elsewhere that have more D-1 commits than Connecticut has in total in a year. Last year my nephews school in Dade County Fl had 7 guys from their DEFENSE sign 1A LOIs and a couple of offensive players did too. That is why some of us don't get all excited because some kid got a sniff from Wisconsin.

The state of Connecticut had around 20 D1 commits last year. Also keep mind there is a big difference in an offer from Alabama or Michigan and an offer from UTEP, Central Florida or Buffalo. I know Alabama offered at least three kids from CT last year, maybe four. Michigan offered four or five, Newtown had two D1 commits, one to Michigan and one to BYU, Greenwich had at least one and maybe two, Staples had one or two, Darien had one but could have had three more if those three kids didn't opt to play lacrosse, New Canaan had one, St Joe's had one, and this is just public and parochial schools in Fairfield county. I'm sure the SCC must have had a similar number. The CCC had several. There were at least two from up in Litchfield around Torrington and New Hartford area. Ledyard had one IIRC.

 

[Uconnalliance]

he also has retweeted a bunch of UConn related stuff including Corey Edsall.... it would be a cruel April fools joke lol

Anyway I really hope I was wrong about this kid and he finds his way back to the program.

Living in town I'd tell ya but I'd have to kill ya after lol

He's back as a walk on at first. Will be given a chance to earn a scholarship

Let me ask a question I asked earlier if you know - is he enrolled/enrolling for the first summer session starting in May or second summer session?

If he doesn't "earn" a scholarship, there should be federal investigation.

Based on 5 years in which a football player can play 4 years, last year was a redshirt year of sorts. If not, why not?

I'll find out tomorrow my contact is asleep lol

If he was enrolled full time, it will count against his clock, if not he's essentially a gray shirt

If he left before the start of the fall semester or suit up for any games, I don't think it counts at all.

Pretty sure his 5 year clock started ticking as soon as his high school class graduated (unless he meets some NCAA "special exception" and based on enrolled credits).

You have five years from High School graduation to play 4 years if he was in college last year he has four years left

 

[JMick]

I thought the clock started when you enroll into college? I'm pretty sure players who take a gap year/s (grey shirts/missionaries/etc) don't lose any eligibility. That's how BYU always has 26 year olds playing.

I'm 95% sure the clock starts once you go full-time for the first time at any accreditted college. So long as Jay wasn't full-time at community college he'd have 5 years.

That's the exception/exemptions I mention. There is a grace period under certain criteria (military service/religious) and enrolled credit hours (how many classes was he enrolled in last summer?).

Chris Winke (sp) was drafted and played minor league baseball before going back to FSU IIRC. I believe he played for them at the age of 27 or 28. If there's an exception what was his or have the rules changed?

Also, there was that dude that played for South Carolina St this past year and he was 50 something.

? They didn't previously enroll in college and CW also had a medical hardship waiver that gave him an additional year I think?

As Medic noted there are exemptions / deferments for military service and religious missions.

You can also play one sport professionally and then come back and play another sport in college.

 

[TheDrifter75]

? They didn't previously enroll in college?

So you're saying any enrollment would pause the clock but not attending would keep it rolling?

Honestly, I don't know all their details. I just know they played well after the 5 years from highschool. I don't think Winke went to college prior to playing for FSU.

Gotcha. Thats an odd exception. Kids clock is running while trying to figure life out but if he plays pro ball in another sport he's good to go lol.

 

[Fishy]

If he enrolled at UConn last year, the clock started.

If he enrolled as a full-time student at a junior college or at another four-year school, the clock started.

If he did not enroll as a full-time student at a two or four year school, his clock did not start. However, the NCAA allows only a one-year grace period after your high school class graduates and then the clock starts whether you enroll or not. So no matter what he did last year, his clock will start this September.

If he enrolled anywhere, he didn't play football, so the year in residence requirement is not effect. No worries there.

So...at worst, if Rose wants to attend UConn, he'll have his four years remaining. The only question is whether he has four or five years to play those four years.

 

[uconnbill]

Yeah. Definitely a tool comment by FS.

Shaky, FS is one of those once a always a

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Unless his girlfriend needs him.

Knock it off with this nonsense.

 

[Saab04]

I really hope Jay is back, and is coming back with full force. This kid was an animal in High School. QB/TE doesn't matter this kid will compete. His highlight tape reminds me of Aaron Hernandez. Quick, elusive, explosive, smart, and muscle. Jay was a bully. I think he should play TE. Hell do great at that position.

I haven't watched a ton of film on Rose, but the style of his running/cutting reminds me a lot of Tyler Lorenzen. Sharp cuts, clean feet, good vision, etc.

 

[uconnphil2016]

I see Jay Rose as an all star place holder for the kicker. Big upgrade from Tyler Davis. His film shows an accurate deep ball--this will be very important for all of our fake field goals.

Oh wait, I forgot we have a new coach

Pete Demmerle

The first to come to my mind was Nick Pietrosante, does this show my age?

 

[Palatine]

You could join the Army after high school, do three years, then start college and not lose any eligibility until you started classes.

 

[noeynox]

Thought the exact same when watching the posted highlights today. Though probably not as fast, Lorenzen could fly.

Is there an exception for things like military service or Mormon missions?

 

[Fishy]

Is there an exception for things like military service or Mormon missions?

Yes, there are exceptions given for religious missions, military service or some foreign services like the Peace Corps. If you're committed to one of those exceptions for more than 12 months, your five-year clock freezes.
