The New Haven Register Blogs: Ramblings from The Runway: Some new names on UConn's updated roster

>>Names of the players previously reported to be joining UConn in the fall are on there - Kyle Buss, , Kevin Mensah, Zavier Scott and Santana Sterling are on there. But there are four new names to report as well freshman receiver Jerrell Chaney, freshman punter Luke Magliozzi, freshman defensive back Ben Pryor and junior defensive lineman Carlton Steer.<<

Any background on Steer.

6'3" 260lbs. Seems like he would slot as a DE on 3-3-5.

Punter from Australia? Taking a page out of Les Miles's book. I like it.

Reminds me of this for some reason:

Interesting to put Pryor on defense considering how many DBs we have coming in this year and now next year. He looks Robbie Frey like in the highlight reel for the RB position and I would think we need more bodies at RB anyway.

The roster listed Kyle Buss as a Freshmen.... can someone help me here. ?
If he is a transfer in from Robert Morris, I thought he had to sit a year and would be listed
as a Sophmore , NO??? How many years does he have left?

I think the roster is wrong @ this point. There are a few things on there that needs cleaning up.
 
Unless he's running against some really slow dudes in those clips, Chaney has some serious breakaway speed and length to boot! Certainly a welcome addition. Welcome aboard Jerrell!

IIRC, we had a punter from Australia when we first moved to the Rent. I want to say Coles but I'm not sure (and it was just a punter).

Reminds me of Marcus Easly with that stride

Here are his track times: Jarrell Chaney

I'm not an expert on these but my first impression from looking at these is that he's fast (consistent with what seems to be a theme in REv2.0 recruiting), but wouldn't be a breakaway guy at this level. It seems he's more of a good combination of speed and size. I hope he likes going across the middle.
 
I could be wrong but I thought Buss withdrew last year to care for a sick parent and played in 2015. So last year was his sit out year as a hardship case.

I get that we might need bodies but does anyone else have concerns that we are takin 3 1AA transfers? Not knocking Edsall for doing it but I am concerned that The only guy in America who wAs worse than Pasaualoni didn't recruit too well either
