My home town! Congrats to Brian.
Ur a really big dick to post this.Ahhhhhh I really don't want to say this but I'm not impressed at all, don't get me wrong, I love his height and the fact that he is always looking for someone to hit but there are many more negatives. technique is awful, he is slow off the snap and was consistently getting beat up field by smaller weaker opponents. Yes it was nice to see him rag doll people but when they're kids half your size it leaves me cautious. Hopefully a red shirt his freshmen yr and TONS of work with position coach and maybe by his Jr yr he will be ready.

And why is that? Cuz I am honest? I just said what I saw, I didn't say he is an POS and should never have even been offered. Actually the contrary I said with a lot of work he would start as a Jr which as an oline men is not a slight at all. I didn't know we had to handle everyone with kid gloves all the time.Ur a really big dick to post this.
I'm not saying he won't be, I just stated what I saw. his size isn't the issue, it's his quickness off the ball and ability to get into a good blocking position. Yes he can move and he is athletic but his feet are not good, he lumbers and doesn't use his feet to regain the upper hand when beat by a quicker defender. If I had to guess he probably has quit a few holding penalties against more sizeable opponents. But let me say this again, these are all things that can be worked on and I think he will be just fine.Athletic. Can move. Good feet. How many guys will he run into who are bigger than him? Not many. He will add weight, probably retain his athleticism and be a great OT for the Uconn Huskies.
Damning with faint praise. The young man is 17, just committed to our school and ur first words were "not impressed". He reminds me of a young will Beatty. Starting LT for the New York football giants. Guess I don't understand the motivation to dog him in ur first sentence and then backpedddle thereafterAnd why is that? Cuz I am honest?

And "Bryan" should be "Brian".
Ahhhhhh I really don't want to say this but I'm not impressed at all
WittyNormally I would say the time for a negative critique of one of our players is after they've actually played a snap in a game for us. In this case not only has he not played a snap, he hasn't been coached, he hasn't even signed an LOI yet. Right now would probably be a good time to treat a new kid with kid gloves. So Ahhhhhhh not impressed at all with your dumb@ss post.
And true.Witty

He has never played football until last year. He is a New London kid who went to school at Grasso Tech in Groton. He has played maybe 15 games of football in his entire life. His HS coach thinks he has an unbelievable high ceiling. It will take a few years.

Here's the local paper's account of the offer coming in from Storrs to the future Husky in the football coach's office.
