Can’t Krajewski get snaps in final 4 games and still keep his RS? Is he healthy? We’ve seen Washington.

While I'd Expect to see Krajewski before the season is over, I don't expect to see him playing at the RENT. HCRE, ever the control freak, will most likely start him on the road so as not to be affected by the boobirds.

I'm going to try to not over-do it in my criticism of this post, so here goes:

I can count the amount of 4 star recruits that have ever come to UConn on one hand. Literally. I don't need more than 5 fingers to cover them all. The boneyard old timers could rattle them off without looking, I'm sure. Jarell Miller, Dwayne Difton, Zach Frazer (transfer), Chandler Whitmer (transfer) and possibly one more that I'm forgetting about.

What this program DOES need is to stay getting those high quality 3 star recruits that will turn our fortunes around. Kids who are looked at by more than just Old Dominion or URI or Bucknell. Not only is that realistic, but it's happened before. But it only happens if recruits believe in the coach, the program, and the possibility of winning while playing.

Let's hope that belief is still out there on the recruiting trail...

STOP, STOP with the 3-star upper level 3 star or high quality octane 3 star call them what you want you will not get the RESULTS needed to be successful in college football. The next guy needs to get the 4 star recruits like I said and that just to be competitive in this league let alone another league. The next guy needs to be greedy MANIAC
at recruiting for us to get better. Aim high and higher than everyone in this league and maybe just maybe we will be successful. Enough with just getting by, because the league has passed us by and the current regime did not get it done. The staff failed with zero results.

We’re never getting four star recruits. My god. If that’s what you’re holding out for, you’re rooting for the wrong program.

It's not what's needed anyway. We need to recruit like a top tier MAC program at the skill positions. I watch those games and see playmakers. Problem I'm seeing right now is that Randy is laying the groundwork for running the ball 50 times a game. Good luck getting kids to come play in that when they're playing wide open football all over the country. 15 yards passing, pfft.

Edsall stinks. He did a solid job building the program and then showed what a snake he is in the way he left them. The game has completely passed him by.

Why stop @ 4* — aim high and higher and grab them 5* before anyone else does!

For perspective: Rivals currently lists two 4* commits for 2019 in the AAC (only one if looking @ 247). 1 NC DE to ECU and 1 Texas DE to Houston. It’s not like they are falling out of the sky in this conference.

I’m not saying UConn shouldn’t chase them w/ fervor - it’s the expectation that they are going to build a team of 4* players that is unrealistic.

 

[Exit 4]

This isn’t about 4 stars and 5 stars, but it is about the fact that so far Edsall’s own recruits look no better than Diaco’s. Four games left, Edsall’s own recruits need to show something.

Well aren't you the trailblazing superhero talking about being unrealistic, living in a world of mediocrity with a 2-star head coach, not even a 3 star coach, just fine settle for continued sub par 500 seasons . Nothing is unrealistic if someone has the guts and determination to be successful.

[Carl Spackler]

This was coaching negligence. He handed this game away with his pathetic offensive game plan. Trying to run out the clock from the 1st play.

Does anyone believe the UMass QB is a better passer than Pindell? This was not talent this was 100 percent coaching induced loss.

I gotta disagree. There is nothing surprising about Randy Edsall's program, when it comes to game planning, and strategy and execution. This was as 4th quarter meltdown by everybody, and it exposes the obvious blatantly.

We do not have players on the field, that are physically and mentally capable of competing and regularly winning against both the conference and non-conference opponents we schedule annually.

It's pure, perfect Randy Edsall, that somehow - in his second year already, closer to his third now, than his first, he's got a built in excuse of youth in players to fall back on that will last minimum another 2-3 years.

Hey - I wrote in August, that this year, I'm looking to beat URI and UMass as a measure of success. We failed. I'm writing my thoughts too and writing critique. The administration (AD, BOT, President and Provost) need to present a plan that will address the problem of recruiting we have. I wrote an originial post about it, that will most likely be visible in the next 24 hours.

What Randy Edsall has to say about anything, is irrelevant, he's the football coach. His job is to make sure this team can block and tackle well enough within a game plan to compete for the next 5 games.

What temper tantrum did he make? He's simply stating that UConn needs four star recruits and a coach that knows the modern game of football to be successful. Pretty simple to understand...even with a "brain"

You clearly know nothing about college football and football recruiting if you think a school in this conference and this part of the country will be able to recruit four-star players. Who the coach is or isn’t has nothing to do with that. If that’s your standard, then the program will indeed be “mediocre” forever and there isn’t a single thing you can do about it.

UConn is not getting four star recruits. It reflects terribly on both your and his brain capacity that you can’t understand that.

Thats right the I give up attitude that things are impossible is what makes UConn a failure right now. Its going to take determination, blood and guts to turn our situation around and maybe just maybe the AD will have the intestinal fortitude to let this guy go. In otherwards you have no solution.

If the solution is four-star recruits, there is zero solution. Maybe someday you’ll get that.

 

[CL82]

Its a harbinger of thing to come. Randy pregame said with defenses being designed to stop the pass in today's game. They're not used to stopping a power run game. He sees opportunity there.

Don't know whether to intrigued or frightened by this.

In a monsoon REv2 decided to exploit his teams biggest strengths a mobile QB and decent RB. I'm not troubled by that though I fully agree that more passing would have made that plan more successful.

For everyone yelling for a new coach, 1) who are we going to get who's any better than Edsall and 2) what coach who is worth a damn is going to take the job after we fire REv2 after two years?

Hey superhero, Einstein wannabe, it doesn't take a brain to understand whats going on with the program. I know nothing about college football my ass and your gods gift because you have brain. C'mon man. Sounds to me you are giving up saying 4-star recruits are impossible. Nothing is impossible. Where there is a will there's a way. AD Dave is capable of finding that guy to get those recruits otherwise settle for mediocrity for years to come.

Everyone on this board cares about the program or they wouldn't be here, but we can't settle for mediocrity year after year.

In your world it doesn't mean jack. You obviously don't care about losing. Lets stay the way we are with Edsall at the helm for another ten years. Losing every week is ok with you, so lets celebrate getting those 2/3 star guys every year.

No coach will be able to bring 4-star recruits here.

Not one.

Painting me as someone who wants to keep Edsall around for 10 years is rich considering the fact that I started the thread asking people who they want to see replace him within the next year or two.

The program can clearly be run much better than it is. That does not involve 4-star recruits. Your mental fixation on something that is never gong to happen regardless of who the coach is, well, it's getting weird at this point.

Seriously, we'll lose every week unless we get 4-star recruits? I'm curious to hear how your brain approaches everyday life situations.

He's saying that a coach can come in here and with motivation and a solid pitch can attempt to bring in 4star guys, will it help with winning, who knows, but it's a suggestion that he feels is necessary in his mind to solve the pathetic coaching we have had and lack of a solid roster. PP, disco and edsall are all the same....limited philosophy with a set player in mind to run their limited 1960s football strategy. Firstinline wants someone new with a modern mindset...that is closer to today's game. Will that yield a four star recruit or two.......it's possible.

What ++k do you care about my life sutuations. Hey brain man, grow some grapefruits and have some guts to tell us your real solutions and answers to the future of the program. The program can be run much better than it is. Wow that took a lot of thought.

Just so you know, I talked to an All American, believe me or not who lived on the street behind me and this goes back to Edsalls first stint here and he told me there was no mutual interest. He went to a Big Ten school. We need someone who is more aggressive and persuasive at recruiting. Enough with the put downs, we need someone relentless. A coach that coaches for today not yesteryear should be priority now.
