Recruiting Coordinator

From Dez...
Not official but hearing Southington product and #UConn grad and LB coach Jon Wholley will assume recruiting coordinator duties as well...



I like it.

I like it.

He seems like he's been truly killing it on the trail, so it makes sense. The only worry I would have is whether that role would take him away from the road. Assuming he is out on the trail as much as he is now (or more), I think it's a good thing...

Deserves the shot if true. He's rebuilt the connections into NYC and has a handle on CT as well. Need to leverage/build more relationships in NJ. Recruits (and current/former players) seem to respect him.

I have mixed feelings on this.

Nobody cares.

The why reply?

I have all the faith in the world JW will rock this gig. But I am not sure if this is best for his career vs working his way up position coach wise a different route. I want the best for him and I feel like this job is a 1 year job if P fails this fall because a clean house might be the result. I want JW to stay here and be here for a long time. He's the perfect local and he's done a great job the past couple years. I was actually a bit afraid the past half year that he would be on BCs staff but I'm very happy he is still here and I think he's going to do great. I want to see him as a OC/DC in 5-10 years.

I feel comfortable having a UConn guy in charge of selling UConn. I'll echo HFD sentiments as well. If the house is cleaned after the season, I hope we can retain him.

A through and through Connecticut guy who worked his a** off as a walkon. I'm fine giving him a chance.

The players seem to like him and I know he hit NYC pretty hard. Good promotion in my opinion

He's early in his career. He can gain HUGE lessons from the guys he is around on that Staff ... Pasqualoni, after all, was a LB coach in the NFL until recently. But, his aggressiveness & success in recruiting has elevated him. It has been earned.

As for Fogarty, what are you really committing to? It is late ... and he is going to be a 2013 test. He has gotten some good buzz through the Edsall years and beyond. I like having a mix. A few young guys, given the age of PP/GDL//HH, is a good thing for a college team.
