Am I hearing correctly that Fuchs is on campus right now for an official basketball visit?
 
Hope we get this kid.. Could use him on both the hardwood as well as in the redzone on the football field

HCPP did allude to a recruit being there for an unofficial today during his Media Day press conference. Can't remember the exact adjective he used but something to the effect of a "very good" recruit

jordan was on campus saturday, meeting the players, watching practice, meeting the staff--he also was watching film of the TE sets that UCONN runs--
Jordan is a physical player, who possess high level athleticism and all the tools needed to be an immediate impact player--UCONN is the perfect fit--lets see how this plays out--

I think Coach P needs to call in a favor from an old student... "Paul Pasqualoni served as the Cowboys' coach of tight ends for the 2005 season, where he is credited for the continued development of Jason Witten leading to his second consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl" "What you see is what you’re going to get with him,” Witten said. “Very intense, very motivated but matter of fact. It’s nothing different than what you’ve seen on a daily basis. He’s a ball coach. He’s been that way whether he’s coaching tight ends, defensive ends or linebackers. He’s the same guy. He’s going to demand a way that we play and we need to execute within that. It’s tough to be in this situation, but I think for all of us we’re hopeful and excited where we’re headed.”
 
Can he block? He looks very athletic and has great size. We've overlooked other prospects because their blocking was not consistent. His film is poor and difficult to see. Perhaps you guys saw something that I might have missed!

TE's that size don't need to learn how to block to dominate in High School. That is something you have to teach them when they get to college. If I know that ....

he has not been used in hs as a blocker, he was too busy scoring tds. however he has toughness and grit he will have to be taught how to block--i dont see a problem with that--
he is a tireless worker who keeps his mouth shut, and his eyes open
 
So what's the NCAA rule on the scholarship deal? Can he get a full ride on a football schollie and walk on the hoops team without it counting against the hoops limit? Anyone know?

I wasn't getting on him. The reason why I say this is because a while ago HFD stated that Joyner's blocking was questionable as perhaps that is why he hadn't received an offer.
 
The football tape is hard to see but there are good videos of him playing basketball. He can get well above the rim:

His blocking his sr year wasnt great and he needed to gain weight. Those are the main reasons that he only got below level bcs offers and decided to prep a year. I am led to believe that he has those things now taken care of and will be a great player. Fwiw

Good because I'm really high on Joyner. I think he has a great upside. The fact that he decided to go to prep school is a great...I think it will benefit him greatly.

Wrong. If you are a scholarship athlete in one sport your scholarship is counted in any sport that you participate in. If this weren't the case there would be a number of schools adding athltic teams in sports they don't care about (men's ice hockey in the SEC for example) just to increase the number of scholarships they could give to football players.

I'm pretty sure Dan's right. Fuchs' scholarship counts towards the football limit, not the basketball one. So he can be on scholarship for football but not use a scholarship in basketball.
 
If he is on scholarship for football (or any sport for that matter) he can only 'walk on' as a basketball player if we are under our full allotment of scholarships in basketball. If we are maxed out, no scholarship athlete from any other sport can be a walk on.
 
Its the same deal as laray and track. Im not even sure what bl said. Hes a fball player and will be a bball walkon. Bl getting at me lol
 
The major difference (at least at a school like UConn) is that we do not come close to maxing out our track scholarships. If we did, a scholarship athlete in another sport could not walk on to the track team.

It is one and only one scholarship for basically all record keeping. For Title IX, if a football player also plays hoops or runs track, he is a non scholarship participant in the other sport. For purposes of competition however, if a hoops team has ten (basketball) scholarship players and two walk-ons from the football team, the NCAA views this as twelve scholarship basketball players.

This is what I thought. And it makes the recruitment of Fuchs much more complex.
 
It actually could be to our benefit (assuming he views football as his primary sport).

We are increasing our men's basketball scholarship total by a large number each of the next few years (due to regaining lost scholarships and the weight of one future graduating class). We will be far more likely than most top hoops schools to be one or two under the limit during his time in college.

Unless this kid is willing to make basketball his primary (and possibly his only) sport, few big hoops schools will save a scholarship for him. As we will have an abundance over the next few years, it would not be difficult for us to save him a spot.

I had thought Dan was correct. But you've written this so clearly and forcefully that I'd bet you are right and I was wrong.

Of course, someone could actually look this up.
 
Thanks, COOSCOOS! That's terrific production offensively (25 rec / 20 ypc / 9 td), especially for a first-year football player.
