Neat upper 80’s already and he is still a couple years from campus. Jeez.

Penn State and Pitt must hate us. Our recruiting in Penn has absolutely had a negative impact on their programs lol

No question Pennsylvania is a continuing fertile recruiting ground for UConn baseball. I believe UConn baseball now has three recruits from Pennsylvania in the high school class of 2022.

Before the Fedko brothers, who were the recruits from PA that started the pipeline?

Before the Fedko's and Reggie Crawford, the biggest name during the 10 years or so that I've been following UConn baseball would have to be Max McDowell. Being in the northeast and not that far away from Storrs, I suspect UConn has always done some recruiting in the Keystone State.

Frank Mozzicato signing his NLI today! So excited to watch him pitch. He’s one of my personal friends. From Ellington, Mozzicato attends East Catholic and has a lot of talent. His brother was the NEC rookie of the week for CCSU

one of the best breaking pitches I've seen in quite some time. And I've heard he has increased his velocity. I notice he's signing with his right-hand.

Not that it matters, but back in the days when I played baseball and softball I threw and batted left handed, but I write with my right hand as well.

Thought I would post a little 2021 recruiting update. From what I have listed so far, there are 15 commitments for this class which is very high. Always gotta be on the lookout from de-commits or people transferring in from other schools. Not everyone has signed their NLI but there are quite a few that have. Please feel free to say if I should remove or add anyone to my list. Go Huskies!

Not everyone tweets out signing their Intent letter, and it is quite possible someone did but it just hasn't turned up on this thread, so I am not overly concerned about that. A few of the tweeted signings came from an entity other than the player.

Personally, I have my doubts that Joe Wozny (who was originally a high school class of 2020 and originally signed an intent letter to go to UConn starting the fall of 2020) will ever end up in Storrs, but I have found nothing on the internet to confirm this suspicion, so at this point it is probably best to leave him on the committed list until something more definite turns up.

Dude looks like a great option in the 9 spot with his speed and ability to get on base. Welcome!

LaSalle recently announced they were dropping baseball after the 2021 season, as well as some other sports programs. I am guessing that David Smith will arrive in Storrs following the 2021 season, but I don't know for certain. Whatever the case, he certainly looks like a quality transfer addition to the team. Assuming he arrives for the 2022 season, he could possibly be the successor to Christian Fedko at 2B, among other options.

Loaded. The talent upgrade is great. I see hosting regionals in our future and finally winning a super regional.
 
I feel like with Penders bringing in multi position athletes like Crawford, Casparius, and Stock, having a guy like Power wouldn’t be a bad thing! Having pure athletes and depth is always a great thing!
