The Ansonia school system is closed. I assume some of the LOI's are going to be held up without access to fax machines.

I wonder if we're in for any surprises today. I remember last year when Kivon Taylor's name popped up it was a collective WHOA!

Reading the Chat on the Huskies website, they can accept scanned .pdf's and also electronic signatures this year.

Hopefully some of the players were smart enough to scan their forms last night and have it sent to a cell phone or other mobile device that doesn't need power from the grid.

With schools closed in northeast today, how are the local LOI's coming in?

UConn is accepting scanned PDFs with digital signatures this year, among other options.

Still may not have been a remedy...

“@UGACompliance: Interesting fact...The NLI requires a time of signature. Any NLI signed prior to 7:00 am is invalid. #GeorgiaNSD #DawgDynasty”
 
So who is the surprise of the day? Anyone? Don'yeh Patterson?

I've worked plenty with .pdf's and electronic signatures. Fill out the whole damn form minus the signature and date on a regular computer and send it to an email address you have linked on your cell phone or iPad (and make sure you have an app that allows you to open/modify .pdf's). Then this morning you open the file, modify it to include the time/date stamp and send it off.

P.S. - I'm traveling and sitting in ORD right now hopefully heading to BDL (didn't work so well last night) so I will be out of service for part of the day. Somebody will need to pick up the slack... :confused:

I wasn't arguing that it can't be done... Just may be outside the reach of a HS student w/0 direction.

These kids can make technology work in ways the programmers and security personnel never dreamed of happening.

They just need to be guided in the right direction. And that direction should have come from parents/coaches/counselors who are guiding him. I wouldn't expect a HS kid who's about ready to get a scholarship to be thinking of all the ways to game electronic signature forms. That's for us adults who have gotten screwed royally and have learned from our experiences. :)

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.

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.
