Sio getting some serious love by announcers - solid two minutes after a tackle. "Keeps doing what he's doing... Can see him going in third round"

I'm at a sports bar and it is on mute. Was wondering what they said. Thanks.

Said coaches (Glanville) loved him - told the announcers to put an asterisk next to his name. Asked to be on all special teams.

Ken Davis @ Scout heard the same:

High praise for Sio Moore
UConn LB Sio Moore just made a tackle in the Shrine game and the commentators on the NFL Network couldn't stop talking about him. They said Moore had a great week in practice, volunteered to play on all special teams and predicted he could end up as high as the third round in the NFL Draft. East coach Jerry Glanville told them to put an asterisk next to Moore's name because he's going to get it done on Sundays."

 

[J187Money]

That's awesome. I was going to go down there to watch but I'm stuck at a work conference. He has been at this 24/7 since the season ended. Paying huge dividends.

I can't believe he was considered a sleeper. He was a total freak for us. This game is so weird sometimes.

He's considered a sleeper because he played at Connecticut.

South Carolina DE Devin Taylor easily most impressive player today. UConn LB Sio Moore probably 2nd best.

Sio made money today!

 

[huskysupporter]

Nice. Definitely should be drafted now. I am guessing 4th or 5th.

"Sleeper" is a subjective term. I think they're using it to say he was originally projected in rounds 5-7 and he's worked his way up a few rounds.

Agreed. If he played for Alabama, USC or Notre Dame, I wonder if his initial projection would have been 5-7. But its all good, he's got the exposure and opportunity now.

Combine invites don't go out until late January

College football players in their final year of collegiate eligibility who have been selected to participate in the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine and whose college season has been completed (including championships and/or Bowl games), will be notified of their selection by Friday, December 28th, 2012. Invitations and instructions for completing the required registration will be sent to the player’s email address provided during their college pro day last Spring.

The NFL scouts every player as an individual. They don't care where you played, they care how you play.

 

[uconnbill]

My thought he ends up between the 3rd and 4th round. He not only can rush the passer which is huge in the league but he can cover as well.

Exactly. Just look at last years first round and second round. Players got drafted from schools like, Memphis, Appalachian State, North Alabama, Midwestern State, Utah State, and Marshall.

yep and you will see alot of them make an instant impact as a rookie like Bobby Wagner for the Seahawks, he was a second round pick from Utah State.

Jt, can you provide a link to the source, I don't doubt it, I'm just curious, there's a lot of info out on the web, thans for posting. If this is the case, I would think we would have heard something about our guys by now.

And since he told me personally that he got the letter what you said didn't make sense. I thought maybe I misheard him. So I checked.

I found this for the 2012 combine, I'm guessing a similar timeframe would apply for 2013:

"While the NFL Combine itself won't publish the official list of the 2012 NFL Combine Invites until late January, ..... Invites for senior prospects go out December 30th for all players that have played in final game (bowl game). All other seniors will find out after their final game (bowl game). Juniors who have declared for the draft will find out their invite status on January 25th."

Gratz

Has to be some other year. Every brown-nosed CT sportswriter will tell you there wasn't enough talent on this team to make a bowl game. Clearly those idiotic NFL scouts don't watch the last two seasons. These two Muppets peanut gallery geazers worked some kind of miracle squeezing 5 wins out of those five slobs.

Do you see a theme on the invites? The only offensive player invited was a TE. Our defense was absolutely good enough talent wise. Offense, not so much.
