Thanks for the correction. Was looking for him earlier and didn't see him anywhere. I live 25 minutes away from Governor's, I wish I had gone to see him play.

He's going to be playing in a NEPSAC bowl game at Avon Old Farms for those who are interested.

A classic Edsall-type recruit. A basketball player wh just started to at football last year. Is certainly a development project

Early morning on the road... nice work.

Can we get a mod to change the Subject Line:

New 2015 Commit -DE/T Matt Peart (MA)

Have to assume he's ticketed for a Tackle spot. That's two offensive linemen in the class, both of whom appear to be long-term development projects. I hold out some hope that we will look for at least one JUCO or 5th year senior transfer to plug the OL.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Matt!!!

I really like these types of recruits. A little raw, with athleticism, and good frame.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Governor's Academy two-way lineman Matthew Peart gave a verbal commitment to UConn. Sorry for the original typo

 

[Limbo Land]

Say what you want about this years team (which realist knew was going to be a wash) Coach D works hard and the commits are buying in to what he is selling. Also I think part of what we are seeing in regards to play calling is being done for a reason. Once we get the players in you will see our true offense being called. We are hamstrung by our QB's and as a result we have the record we do. Never a bad idea to be one of the first to say "I told you Coach D knew what he was doing" .

Welcome Matt! Great 2015 class shaping up here!!

Governor's Academy OT/DE Peart commits to #UConn runwayramblings.blogspot.com/2014/11/govern…

>>... Governor's Academy two-way starting lineman Matthew Peart, originally from the Bronx, committed to UConn according to his head coach Jim O'Leary.

O'Leary said that offensive line coach Mike Foley has been looking at Peart since his junior season and after speaking with Foley and head coach Bob Diaco yesterday, Peart committed. He becomes the third lineman to commit to UConn since Oct. 5 joining Cedar Creek (N.J.) defensive lineman Trey Blackwell and New London offensive tackle Bryan Cespedes.

O'Leary said Peart is 6-foot-8, 265 pounds and "without an ounce of fat on him." He is a two-way starter at offensive tackle and defensive end for one of the most successful prep school programs in New England. He is the starting left tackle for a 7-1 Governor's Academy team that will play Brunswick on Saturday in the Wayne Sanborn Bowl at Avon Old Farms.

"He has outstanding potential," O'Leary said. "He's a great athlete, the captain of the basketball team. He's a great kid and has an outstanding attitude. He has great length, long arms. He's going to do the work in the weight room and once his body fills out, he is going to be special."

Peart has seven sacks on defense as well as being one of the leaders of the Governor's Academy offense.<<

Athletic and a good leader. Seeing a lot this type in this class. Another high character young man.

Some sites are reporting C. Lee as an OL at the next level (he's 6'7" and 260 already).

I do not see this staff going the juco route.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Kid is athletic. Has a good frame. High motor. Give him a few years under Balis and the sky's the limit.

These are the exact types of recruits I want the staff to take chances on. Two stars that can project to 4 stars when they are done.

 

[metsfan2323]

Question for the board, how many players can we recruit it 2015? I thought 25 was a limit but there are several schools with more than 25 already.

 

[BlueDogs]

Will grow into a monster. Good raw recruit.

Not to take this thread off the tracks but it depends -- 25, 28, or maybe a few more based on circumstances: http://www.sbnation.com/college-foo...cruiting-how-can-a-m-take-34-recruits-in-2013

They greyshirt those who they don't want to bring in this year or those who don't qualify. A number of SEC schools do this including Miss St who has 30 commitments already.
