I agree. Saw "Nasty" play in HS a couple times at Greenwich HS.
But it doesnt matter what we say. The staff wont offer him.
He'll probably end up at Temple playing alongside Matakevich (another FCIAC kid) for the next 3 years, kicking our .

Prep LB hoping for more interest from UConn
http://connecticut.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1426752&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
After finishing his Connecticut high school football career, linebacker Shane Nastahowski decided that he wanted more exposure. That led him to New Berlin (N.Y.) Milford Academy, where he hopes the extra time will catch the attention of more college coaches.
"Recruiting is moving along ok," said Nastahowski. "I just hope it gets a little better, but the schools that seem really interested are Penn State and UMass so far. Hopefully it picks up."
UConn is one specific school that he hopes will show more interest.
"I'm going to ask my coach to see if they called him, but that's a school I'm definitely interested in," said Nastahowski.
The 6-foot-2, 220 pound linebacker explained why UConn has peaked his interest.
"I like that it's close to home and I also have a lot of friends that go there," he said. "I also like the coaching staff as well."
Nastahowski detailed the reasons that he ended up at Milford Academy and how his season has progressed.
"I prepped to get more looks, offers and to get better grades, even though I was already cleared," he said. "My prep season is going well personally, despite our 4-4 record. I'm leading the team in tackles and we beat Princeton JV yesterday, which was our toughest opponent so far."
His time at Milford has helped Nastahowski improve certain parts of his game.
"I feel like my tackling technique has improved as well as my pass rush, even tough it's not where I want it to be yet," he said. "My size definitely needs to improve. I would love to gain some more weight and strength. I also could brush up on my speed and running technique, as well as shedding off blockers."
Nastahowski will travel to Happy Valley this Saturday for the Penn State game against Ohio State.
UConnReport.com will continue to stay in touch with Nastahowski to see if the Huskies begin to show more interest.

You may remember that Penn State is on probation and has recruiting difficulties right now? UConn should be recruiting ahead of Penn State.
We have a good crop of linebackers at the team at the moment, might take only one this year, and the staff is looking at Nastahowski and has to rank him relative to the other LBs they're considering and may want to wait to see if higher-rated LBs accept before extending the offer.

Yup - the guy who coached DeMarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, Bobby Carpenter, Joey Porter and Keith Brooking needs remedial education from the BY on how to evalaute linebackers. SMH

That's a great point. If there is one area on the field where I have a high level of confidence that the coaching staff will locate the right players, it's the linebacker position...

His last name should be one of the reasons why we sign him!! "That hit was 'Nastahowski'!!!" I also really like it when a player is excited to hear from UConn. I always feel like that gives a kid an extra boost during his college career (think Lutrus)...

I'm not sure we should give weight to a player saying how excited he is to hear from us when he's still looking for his first offer. If he had other offers and still wanted to hear from UConn, I'd be pleased.

HCPP coached these guys, he didn't recruit them or draft them. They were already GREAT talents and HCPP didn't have to find them, recruit them, or draft them.
With all the SH_T going on at Penn State, I still bet that they out recruit our staff by leaps and bounds this year and every year going froward that the current regime is in place.
Anyone want to take this bet? I didn't think so.

But coaching them doesn't lead to being able to evaluate quality talent? - which was all my point was about, nothing about going out into the weeds to find them?
Sucker bet - Penn State out recruits 75% of the program out there. BTW, does he have an offer from Penn State or only "interest"?
