3500 yds and 33 TDs. I'm not agist!

Dude also was a first round pick at SS for the Yankees. Spent 4-5 years in the minors before enrolling at UNT.

I like this guy even more now. Sign him up already.

From ESPN
Carson Steele: Steele broke out as a sophomore for Ball State, rushing for 1,556 yards (sixth in FBS) and 14 touchdowns. He will visit UCLA this weekend. Any word if we offered?

Portal Commits to UConn...
QB - Brendon Lewis Colorado 3 star
CB - Zakhari Spears Washington 3 star
WR - Nick Marder Cincinnati 3 star
LB - Kolbe Cage Arizona 3 star

Based only on his Twitter followers, I wouldn't be surprised if Brendon Lewis is verbally committed.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Oh.

 

[Buffett10]

Plummer or Brin it is then.

Well, there is one poster we don’t need to hear from again, since we were told this was done a while ago.

On3 is killing it as well… Brendon Lewis - Colorado Buffaloes - QB

They also had Nate Carter 100% to UMass

This sucks. Nevada. Really?

Don't you guys think the issue is we are out of spots? That we need to see movement out to correspond with movement in?

One would think we'd see some movement now that the bowl is over. I have a feeling we'll see some spots open up and that the staff and has word out to possible transfer recruits. (I have ZERO knowledge of anything, just spitballing)

Imperfect process. Appreciate your contributions to this board

No. You can be over 85 with commitments. You have until the second semester starts to disappear enough that you don’t go over.

IMHO, Austin Aune fits the profile of remaining and available portal QBs who would plug in best at UConn. 1-2 years of eligibility left (depending on his COVID/red shirt years status), and he gives the other QBs already in the locker room time to develop.

He's mature, stable, confident and successful at a respectable G5 level, the MLB pros (NYY), and is most likely looking for a coach (and program) that can help him get NFL visibility ASAP given his age. He doesn't have a lot of time to follow those dreams of playing in the NFL if that's what he's chasing. HCJM and OCNC would just need to re-adjust the O to be more pro-style QB oriented which, BTW, doesn't seem to be such an outdated concept in the NFL these days.

 

[ZooCougar]

Oh.

Wait. I thought Exit 4 said this was a done deal?

Actually glad this one went elsewhere. He would just be more of the same.

Can he play baseball too? Or did he give up that by getting paid?

 

[Minicoop69]

My belief is that because he was a professional in baseball he can no longer play baseball at the amateur level.

 

[Palatine]

There have been a couple of tweets about new players joining the Huskies. No word if they are HS or portal.

 

[noeynox]

Not that I think we have a chance, but he's a local kid

Never say never. Kid basically played his high school ball on our campus... bring him back home. Opportunity is knocking

Also if he wants to get into coaching, then UConn could be an ideal starting place for him to be a GA after he finishes his final year of eligibility.

A tweet from Storrs talking about how he loved helping change the wake forest program around...some very positive signs.

He is literally from Storrs Mansfield. Wonder if he’s just sending the tweet from his literal home.

 

[WNConn]

You guys are nuts. Bothroyd isn't transferring from Wake to go to UConn. He's gonna step up a level and showcase his talents on a bigger stage to prep for the draft.
