Yeah the PP Farm is right around the corner. And I have actually seen him on campus a couple times.

RE had almost no CA presence. In talking to Dan O'Dea, the CA coach who left this year, RE hardly knew the school existed. Given the talent that goes through the school, it always confounded me.

The new football coach (Dave Dykeman) also heads up the baseball program at CA. Good guy. My son is the BB captain and he's excited about Dykeman. A knowledgeable, type A, smart leader.

Hey Dan, will do. One of the CA captains this year, Jeff Beastik,has signed a LOI to Brown, like last year's QB Mike Villiapiano (the son of the ex-Oakland Raider).

We have a beast of a MLB. A Freshman who is 6-4 and gigantic. Will be obscene by his senior year i've been told. From a city in MA. I'll update you on him when my son gets back tonight. UConn needs to follow him, but he is young and still raw.
 
I would like to see PP offer Joyner the kid is a 4* on 247sports.com and is intrested in Uconn.

Edsall recruited Ryan Wirth from Cheshire Academy. But facts are so inconvenient when people want to gripe, why pay attention to them.

Esquire,

I was being more figurative... than literal. Of course RE knew and recruited at CA. The issue the CT HS coaches had with Randy was about long-term relationships -- and as a strategy, he opted to focus his energies with schools outside the state.

Relationships aren't about one kid and one year. Many felt RE needed to thoroughly own CT's recruiting ground and that begins with LT relationships. Not saying that RE was wrong (that may very well have been the best tactic) but statewide we lost a lot of kids to BC, Iowa, PSU and other schools -- and UConn sometimes was never even in the early mix.

If you say anything bad about St Randy, BL will jump to his defense. I imagine we'll hear how 8-5 was a breathtaking coaching job in a minute or two.

That's the whole point. They wanted him to focus recruits and offers in state. We aren't in the Yankee Conference any more and can't win that way. When CA had someone he wanted, he went and got him. But, per your own examples, he didn't waste time sucking up to coaches about their Ivy League prospects.

Every UConn coach will have this issue for the forseeable future. For some, like P, who have longer ties to the state's coaches, it will take longer before it is a problem but this is a UConn problem -- not an Edsall problem. We will recruit less CT players than we did when we were I-AA and high school coaches won't like it.

You want to hear something bad about Esdall -- he didn't win enough head to head recruiting battles with BCS programs. You see, what you think is defense is just responding to attacks that devalue what our program accomplished and have little basis in fact.

So go start another thread about Maryland -- it will give you something to do.
 
No sense in tilling old ground. I'm happy for RE and his B10 gig. And I hope PP can get 4 and 5 star kids inside and outside our small state.

I just want us to survive, land in a BCS conference and then start to win. How we get there doesn't totally matter to me :-)

I don't think he ever missed on a real BCS player from CA, just Ivy league types.

Right?

I've removed the insult. Too much stress on a lot of fronts (UConn being not anywhere near the top of the list. But I do admit to getting peeved that a guy who starts threads out of the blue on Edsall can somehow determine that I'm obsessive in responding to his posts.

I am fairly certain that I've never said Edsall was good at recruiting, measured either by recruiting players with stars or winning head to head battles. Why you think that just because you hate every facet of him I must love every facet of him is beyond my comprehension.
