UConn Baseball Recruiting and Commitment Thread

Pretty sure all the kids on the list value education. I think it's part of the character check before being asked to play UCONN Baseball. Nobody knows for sure, but my guess is we keep all of them and the schools ranked above lose quite a few........thinning the heard.....and leaving us that much stronger.

My apologies.. did not mean to offend. Just saying with top ranked pitchers and catchers especially it goes without saying these days.........

"Insert player name" will be a "insert college name" unless he’s given a significant signing bonus.

So.........Huskies @ #44 will be in a good place after the draft. Vanderbilt (the #1)has 10 of the top 50 players committed. I KNOW they won't be keeping all of there players. "That"......was my point. Did not mean to Passover your point in the process. My bad.

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.
