A bunch of instagram videos up too.

Not sure how to link them.
 
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.

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

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."”

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.

Would love to see which schools Newsome gave the heisman pose to.

From the UConn Huskies blog:

UConn Huskies:
So far of our 10 new Huskies, including the two mid-year enrollees, we have three from Pennsylvania, two from Massachusetts, two from Florida, and one each from Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey.

Think they're trying to reinforce the recruiting area messge? Yup.
 
I echo the sentiments of many here about the involvement of the program with social media. It's a great step forward! And speaking of the states our recruits are from, the one thing I might try and improve on are the geographic references made on the individual players' graphic banners. Anyone else pick up that Watkins' Lawrenceville school (spelling off in banner too...lol) is listed as being in MD, and not NJ and that Atkins' Blair Academy is listed as being in MA and not NJ? Small stuff, but also not difficult to have it right the first time.

Edit: Just noticed that Summers' Milford Academy is listed as being in NJ and not NY as well. Any chance we can get these corrected? Noticed that they just corrected Summers' compared to the original. ;)
