Njoku to officially visit this w/e

[gioff23]

Great news. Very anxious to see which rabbits the staff pull out of their hats, but this could really help sway other kids.

There will be 10-12 football recruits attending the Uconn vs. Louisville game Saturday night, and Njoku is one of them. Hopefully he commits this weekend or Monday the latest.

Talk about an amazing atmosphere to visit UConn in. Wow.

From coach Diaco's old high school? I'm sure he put on the hard sale.

Tempered enthusiasm on my part.

Hey - even a courtesy/"favor" visit is good for the program and Coach BD. Hope we see some DN/BD pics as an aftermath

I totally agree. He should check us out and then go from there.

It's more than just good, and it's something to be enthusiastic about. We need more and more recruits of this nature to make official visits (and unofficial visits) to UCONN. These are guys that have been to places like Ohio State right.....and when they come through UCONN and see that what we offer is equal, or better.........they talk to their friends, and to their coaches.....and the word spreads, of what exactly football is at UCONN......in reality, rather than whatever misconceived perceptions were out there.

Along the way, you land a couple of them to come play too.

Njoku is interesting didn't have many offers back when he committed to RU but since the decommitment he's picked up a bunch of new interest, no offers but a lot of solid interest. Will be interesting to see who pulls the trigger on him in the coming weeks.

Its interesting. Ohio State has had recruiting classes of at least 24 each year for the past four I checked. If Njoku gets a schollie, looks like it would have to be about the last one in this class.

 

[noeynox]

Rumor is if Njoku is offered on his OSU visit, he will commit on the spot. I get that it is Ohio State, but I feel for kids who sometimes can't see they are a fall back option. Wish him the best. Real interested in the Wingate kid. Hope the transcript situation gets cleared up.

From Rivals;
Wingate has been committed to Stony Brook for several months now, but with UConn new to the chase, the talented athlete seems open to the potential opportunity.
"The visit was pretty good," said Wingate. "They're very interested and they want me to come for an official visit as soon as possible."
With only three official visit weekends remaining, Wingate's visit has hit a snag however.
"The problem is that my freshman and sophomore transcript I don't have yet from Bergen Catholic," said Wingate, which is where he started off his high school career.
So what is the next step for Wingate?
"To hurry and get this transcript issue over with so that I can go see how UConn is and how their new coaching staff is," said Wingate, who is 6-foot-3 and 170 pounds.

Ah, drew a blank. (Think Samuels from Miami has a issue as well).

StonyBrook doesn't require transcripts??

 

[Carl Spackler]

Bergen Catholic?

somebody get Zeke on the phone to go make sure the secretaries are moving the paper piles. Sheesh.

Ha - well Diaco is in NJ today - maybe he's going to the office to get them himself!

 

[huskyblooz]

Only a guess, but sometimes Catholic schools dont release transcripts if there is a balance due on tuition.

Can't you do a visit and a conditional offer based on limited information at hand awaiting finalization ?? or is it putting the cart before the horse because of academic concerns and proper qualifications etc??
