Outlow

[uconnflyer88]

what did i say about fuchs??? we tracked him for a few months after he first came on radar. i talked to his dad. then thr trail on him went wuiet for a month and then he gave us a verbal. we didn't discover him to early fall and now hes a uconn signee. what am i missing here? outlow is a 2014 recruit. were talking way different discovery aspects also.

I'm talking about your hammering the staff for months about quitting on Fuchs, and not offering Fuchs and moving on from Fuchs....and then he commits

I was going to go back and find all the comments that were made.....but then I just decided to keep on living my life

i knew when we offered and so did everyone here. i think u have players mixed up.

Just to be clear, we just wrapped up the most successful recruiting class in the history of the program and now 1 kid wants to go to a rival and we suck? I really don't understand how some of you make it thru the day - every rumor about the conf., the team, the staff, the administration, the players, a recruit, etc. is either a brilliant move or more evidence of our demise. Take a breath and please stop yelling every single rumor is the death of the program. If you can't help yourself, at least tell me you have removed all sharp objects from your home.

Nearly every school playing 1-A football has more offers out than UConn, most of our peers have more than double UConn's number of offers out, and some schools have triple UConn's number of offers out.

Unless you truly believe the sites are better at picking up UMass offers than UConn offers, then P is slower than most to make offers.

And as people have mentioned Uconn has less spots to fill this coming class. Maybe they are being cautious with offers. Although that is quite a disparity between Uconn and other schools.

One thing is certain he will have fun at the basketball games. Such a rowdy student section. This is from Barstoolsports.com if any of you visit the site. This is BC's student section at a recent BBall game.

Haters gonna hate….Superfans just not going to show up unless they are playing Duke. Worst college fans in the country for a reason.

It was the same way last year.

Shai Mckenzie: (4*) 6'0/212
Robert Martin: 6'0/190
Brice McAllister: 5'11/195
Johnathan Thomas: 5'11/195
David Hood: 5'11/190
J.T. Blyden: 5'10/190

I'm sure there will be a lot more RB's added to the list in time. I understand HFD the staff takes there time offering big time talent with in-state recruits, but as you can see on the list above there's a grand of talented big backs still available. I would rather have a back that wants to play for Uconn, who is talented, rather than a kid who signs with our rivals (BC). I really don't understand why a kid from CT would rather play for our rivalry school than represent there home state school though, it's ridiculous IMO.

Ever think the Kid likes Boston environment vs Storrs??

 

[Skol33]

My business is in Norwich so I hear alot about Outlaw. Sorry but the staff blew it. You cant lose this kid to BC. He was not under the radar. He was the starting back at a class LL school as a freshman. Inexcusable that he wan't a high priority. Of course I am not privy to coaches thought process but clearly the kid knew he was not a priority. If big 10 and SEC schools are aware of him we are too close not too. We have to be all over the 1A kids from Connecticut.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

What are the chances he actually ends up at BC if his list of offers really is that impressive? I'm guessing under 50/50

I'll give em 10% right now. That goes down to about 2% after they go 2-10 this season

 

[BCeagles24]

First off for that picture yea we have pathetic basketball crowds but the other side of the student section was full. Either way still pathetic but don't try to say that's the only fan there. And we're much better for football but that's irrelevant. As for our chances it's 99.9 he stays kid loves BC.

 

[businesslawyer]

. As for our chances it's 99.9 he stays kid loves BC.

Wow. So out of 100 verbals you get who love BC, only one who gets an offer from one or more major players leaves. That is impressive. You must compete for the national championship every year with a record like that.

No, one out of a thousand. (99.9%, not 99%). But that doesn't mean they can compete for a national championship. One 4* kid per year loves BC, so it would take them 85 years to recruit a national championship team.

Sigh. I violated a cardinal rule of not screwing up math or English when criticizing a troll. Totally my fault.

Not only that, BCeagles24 is not a troll, and he only said that 99.9% chance Outlow stays committed, not that any other recruits would love BC or stay committed to it. So your criticism was pretty far off-base. But, what is a message board for.

But for my error, the point was that using a number like 99.9%, when you're just making a number up, is stupid. But no big deal.

 

[mauconnfan]

Committed to BC.

What does the BC in "BCeagles24" actually mean? Just curious haven't seen that before??

So your telling me if an SEC or Big Ten come calling he tells them to buzz off because he loves BC?

Tell me about how BC lost Stewart two years ago and how last year they lost Issacs to Maryland. So don't tell me how safe BC recruits are or how much they love BC.

 

[uconndogs]

I think Daz may turn out to be a very good hire for BC. We'll just have to see. That said, GDF left a train wreck of an athletic department behind and it may be years before that gets fully addressed. UCONN addresses its current conference issues and lands in the ACC or BiG it's game, set and match for BC. The playing field is leveled and UCONN rolls. It's no more complicated than that.

 

[kris1]

As for the whole big-back thing, it's way over-rated. Does Size Matter For Running Backs? It's great to have a bigger guy for short yardage and goal line situations, but they limit your offense, and their ability is limited. They're not as agile, quicker, or more productive. Smaller backs average more yards per carry, fumble less, and have the ability to stretch a defense with their speed. We've had enormous success with smaller backs. Let's focus on the O-Line, because without them, it won't matter.

I was looking at this years NFL Draft prospects, specifically the RBs. Of the 55 RBs listed, 9 are 6' or above. Only, 4 of the 9 are projected to be drafted. One of those 4 is Marcus Lattimore, who is recovering from knee surgery.

That's exactly what I'm telling you since he's already turned down sec and big 10 schools. You can't compare either of those situations to these. We always knew Stewart wanted to go to UF once they turned up the heat he was gone. Isaacs was recruited by spaz who probably didn't even know who he was and that's all that needs to be said. Addazio is going to continue to recruit Outlow and any other commit as if they aren't committed. I don't think there's going to be as many decommits anymore you know never but I don't expect Outlow to be one regardless.

I don't know if there's any way to say that (the 99.9% part) for sure. Are his ties to BC any stronger than Aaron Hernandez's ties to UConn were when he verbal-ed here? Probably not, yet many of the same cast of characters who are interested in Outlow chased after Hernandez, and he ultimately made what he felt was the best choice for him and his family.

It's obviously far more likely than not that Outlow goes to BC based on his verbal commitment (it would be an interesting exercise to see how frequently recruits commit to one school and attend another). However, it would be naive to think that if he's that good, significantly better programs won't give him a call or that he won't pick up the phone when they do. That's why they call it a verbal commitment.

Maybe. It certainly isn't for the outstanding football program. Maybe he's a big hockey fan.

 

[Dann]

there seems to be some question to actual offers vs interest and verbal offers to come. interesting. its not a big deal. hes a top prospect and its clear from the tape. good luck to him.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Is anyone else calling BS on all these schols actually offering him? Are any of them looking at him as something other than a RB? I just don't see how you have that much interest and decide to go to... BC?
