Yeah, he'd have to be really good for me to want him over seeing what the current young guys can do. I think you will have problems recruiting QBs if none of them ever get a chance to play. Now JUCO defenders, TE or OL? Load me up.

I completely agree. Give me any and all JUCO DBs, LBs, DL, OL, TE, etc.

Thats probably the real back story here. If Washington or Krajewski were crushing it in practice and with academics this slot probably goes to another HS QB prospect instead.

I dont have super high expectations on DeWeaver other than he certainly is intriguing given his frame.

I'm a little surprised we haven't taken advantage (more often, way more often) of taking this route... You have to be STRONG up front.. So, if there are linemen available that can help you NOW, you don't pass on them... Full court press on their recruitment... IMO, we dropped the ball (especially on DL) on that aspect... There's a few edge rushers with size (and maturity and ability) out there that could've seen an opportunity to showcase their ability for the NFL up in Storrs, CT.. I don't buy that there isn't anybody... Enough with being bottom feeders....

The kid had a boatload of offers and eventually ended up at a top flight P5 school. Not winning the job at Michigan State could still mean he is way more talented than what our options are. I say bring him in, and let the other guys beat him out if they're able to.

Yup, yet a QB with 2 years of remaining eligibility would supplement and help balance the projected 2019 QB crew's eligibility status:

Incoming Frosh (5 years eligibility): 1 or maybe 2
4 years left: Krajewski
3 years left: Washington, McAfee (hat tip to historygeek)
2 years left: -0-
1 year left: -0-

I believe McAfee will be a redshirt sophomore like Washington and has 3 years left.
 
But old dominion took that other Juco QB, didn’t they?

Not for nothing but ODU is in Norfolk, not Va Beach.
 
MEH.....Not to be mean, but I watched some youtube videos of his games yesterday and honestly it was not very impressive. I would have been very disappointed if one of our current guys didn't beat him out for the QB job. He's not even close to the same league as Chandler Whitmer or even Pindell.

Maybe there is a QB with one year left on eligibility if they attend UConn grad school.
 
At this stage, I'd rather have a Grad Transfer from a P5 school who lost out on the starting job and is eligible to play, and will probably be better (more prepared) than anybody we have now...

They dont have Tyler Davis going to GA Tech? How reliable can they be?

Alas, they were just waiting for Davis’ name to be removed from an updated UConnHuskies.com roster. I jest, yet it’s still there now
 
ODU has 3 QBs coming in next year....of their 31 recruits in the class.....what's going on down there?!

Their returning starter decided to leave school to enter the seminary.
