Kudos for UConn's website.

Running twitter feed with good graphics, an on-going online chat, list of signees and player bios with videos all on one page.

It's nice work, but it looks like they put McAllister's info under Carrezola's profile. McAllister isn't listed as signed as of now. Guessing that changes shortly.

Great job with the videos.

NLOI seem to be coming in much slower this year. Might have something to do with the weather and the overall size of the class being smaller.

Watkins is in!!!

Looks like he's only played two years of varsity football. Great athlete with incredible hands.

 

[ZackB05]

Interesting they listed Watkins as a CB. Wonder if we see a WR in this class.

I am as well. I made a comment on his tape on the recruiting page acknowledging he could be switched, but his whole reel was pretty much at WR. Interesting indeed.

I think his hands are too good to play corner. Need him on the offensive side of the ball running routes and moving the chains. Aside from Davis, the offense seemed to lack a sure handed WR.

Ron Johnson. Somebody send this kid some updated UConn gear ASAP!

 

[J187Money]

pick who up?

Arkeel if he can't get to a fax machine.

 

[kibblesnbits]

Arkeel if he can't get to a fax machine.

I'm sure the Ansonia police have a fax machine and would be glad to help out.

Great video from this morning. Need someone to shovel the sidewalk for the coaches.

I really want to see more of this!!! It says part 1, so maybe there is more planned?? i love that they threw it together this morning. that is awesome.

They are absolutely crushing social media lately. Not sure if they hired someone or what, I love it though

 

[Chin Diesel]

A bunch of instagram videos up too.

Not sure how to link them.

 

[Mr Blueskin]

I really want to see a video of Arkeel running threw the snow into the Burton offices to sign his papers with snow still falling off his new UConn winter knit cap with a Pom Pom on top.

 

[Husky15]

James Atkins just signed his NLOI

I admit to being behind this, and I still don't understand twitter, but the stuff I'm seeing is just light years from where we were a few short years ago. One of Edsall's last NSD's here he said this whole thing was stupid. It's good to have a young, energetic, and enthusiastic coach who embraces this.

For me, I'm gonna sit at home, in front of my laptop today and impersonate an employee.

I just think he's enjoying giving the drama queens fits today...

“@McDTwin2: At 9 a.m. Ansonia football coach Tom Brockett said that Arkeel Newsome hadn't sent his LOI to #UConn, but planned to do so later today”

“@McDTwin2: Brockett said Newsome was a "big get" for #UConnFootball. Brockett said Newsome is "excited to play for his home state."”

@McDTwin1: Ansonia coach Tom Brockett said Arkeel Newsome received other interest, some schools made a late push. Did not name schools. #UConnFootball

Anyone else not like that quote?

Planned to do so is not the same as will definitely, or can't wait to do so....

Probably nothing, but geez.
