Does the graphic meant hat Yarin is in fact committed to UConn baseball and that he has decided to forgo football?

I wouldn't pay attention to that graphic. For instance, that graphic also has Hunter Webb on it. Webb is going to UConn, but he is committed to the football team.

I didn’t pay much attention to the graphic, it was more the blurb and video on Pat Winkel that I was sharing.

RHP Saar Rosa, high school class of 2020 at Oxford High School in Connecticut has committed to UConn baseball. His twitter account also confirms the commitment. He also plays for the Clubhouse travel team out of Fairfield. Several other Clubhouse players have made commitments to UConn baseball.

Man oh man, do I hope he and Burrows get to campus. It's a tremendous recruiting class overall but those are two bona fide national-level recruits we scooped up in our own state.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Yeah, the blue collar under the radar types are cool but I do not mind all americans either. They're OK, too.

Borges - New Haven Register: Winkel in time: Amity’s Patrick Winkel on MLB draft radar as season begins

This Norwich Bulletin season preview article on the Norwich Free Academy baseball team mentions that senior RHP Tyler Briggs will play for UConn baseball next season.

NFA baseball seems primed for a big spring

I know it’s against Career but, Pat Winkel is off to a scorching start in his senior season.

AMITY 15, CAREER 5 (6)
CAREER 000 050—5 5 1
AMITY 370 014—15 16 2

Highlights: Amity Pat Winkel (Sr., C) 5-5 4R 5RBI 1 2B 2HR, Julian Stevens (Fr., OF) 2-4 1R 3RBI 1HR 1 2B, Sebastian Formica (Jr., IF) 1-2 1R 1RBI 1HR 1BB

Winkel is 8-8 (3-3 with 2 2B 3BB, in a 12-3 win over Shelton) in his last two games with 5XBH and 3BB.

We have 3-4 superstars coming in next year. Hopefully MLB doesn't get them first.

Norwich Bulletin feature story on Norwich Free Academy senior RHP Tyler Briggs, who has committed to play baseball at UConn next season:

NFA's Briggs thrives as 3-sport athlete

 

[kris1]

Winkel was 1-2, 2 runs scored, 2BB in a 4-3 Amity win over Jonathan Law yesterday. He’s now 9-10 with 5BB in his last three games. Amity (5-2) travels to Madison to play Hand (7-0) this morning, 11am start.

That is a real problem. You want your commits to play well but not too well, not first few rounds well.
