I really, really, really like the 3 running backs that signed today. Has to be the best group of backs we ever signed. Can't wait to see what the staff does with the offense this year.

That Donald Brown class (I don't care if he was the only RB that year) was pretty good

 

[Huskygamble19]

Really excited about this class. Everyone says there is a dip in the first class bit I dont see it. With the exception of may e needing a wide receiver we made up for it in lineman and runningbacks.

I didn't see Chris Britton's name mentioned. Is he still a commit?

Last One? Interesting.

Just based on size and offers, I bet Ron Johnson gets a ton of playing time next year. New territory for us getting a kid seemingly that ready to contribute.

"Last one" - sounds as though there are no surprises. I'm happy with the class, but would still like to have a little something in there to keep my work productivity to a minimum for the rest of the day researching.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Correct me if I'm wrong but from the looks of it everyone we expected to sign has signed.

All things considered I like what the new staff has done so far.

He was an early enrollee....already on campus.

The class was pretty good I think. Bloom, Carrezola Newsome. Adding Johnson and Diggs was great and finding some reasonable bigs was just icing on the cake.

Can't complain where we are.

The staff removed all suspense by saying "last one" w/ the BMc announcement. We can all go back to work now

Since he didn't do a PG year he's considered a 2013 commit. He enrolled in January. There is a into video on the football web page.

My F5 key is very happy to see that.

Looks like a very solid class. And I like the attitudes of the kids that are coming in; they are selling our program on Twitter and are not afraid to #bleedblue. Love it...

I have to do all of the math, but I think you need to update your state breakdown. McAllister, Newsome, and Hashemi should give us 3 from CT. I'll have to check out the rest of the states, because I can't do them off the top of my head. Still, I love what I'm seeing in your breakdown...

Oh ok ...thanks

The signing day videos are pretty good. Bob diaco loves the camera

Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?

I'm interested to see the kid return some kicks. Nice to get the valley representing for the alma mater. welcome to UCONN arkeel, and to the rest of the class of 2014. Looks like everybody is in.

We kickoff at Rentschler against BYU in 203 days.

I don't care how many people post this. It looks and feels NEWsome.

Fixed it!

I'll take your word on it. I did a copy/paste off the UConn blog feed without checking it.
