Led to believe he was headed out of state to chart his own path from the get-go.

Continuing the trend of D3 stars, I like it. Looks like we’ll get him for the 2024 season?

I wonder if the baseball team at Texas Tech has NIL deals like the 25k that each football player will be making.
With Freeberger coming to UConn, that brings the upcoming season transfer total to 8. We brought in 6 a year ago. With a pretty big recruiting class coming in and some players in the portal/graduation there’s definitely gonna be a lot of new faces in the HookC this year.
Stephen Quigley(Wheaton College)(RHP/INF)
Jacob Studley(Wheaton College)(OF)
Luke Broadhurst(Eastern CT)(3B)
Michael Quigley(UMass Lowell)(RHP)
Paul Tammaro(Oswego State)(INF)
Zach Fogell(Brown)(LHP)
Caleb Shpur(Endicott)(OF)
Dominic Freeberger(UNC Asheville)(INF/OF)
Sounds like Shpur is coming for the 2024 season, which sounds a bit odd. so shouldn't include him for next season. We'll have to see if other transfers show up as well, you just never know.
That’s a good call
Freeberger sounds like a pretty flexible guy, able to play all over the place. Plus his bat sounds solid as well. Just have to see how all these transfers sort out.
First UConn recruit commitment reported on the Boneyard for 2025.

Ha, been waiting for this to get posted by someone else. I posted about Matt a few months ago in this thread. He is my nephew, and is going to be a big kid. Hitting 88mph on the hill as a freshman, a d batted .385 with very solid gap to gap power from the left side. He's currently about 6'3", 185 lbs.

There has to be a tie to the school or the staff, doesn't there? He's what, three years before he can sign anything? A verbal "commitment" from an 8th grader and lives a thousand miles away for where he is going to college can't be worth the paper he didn't have to sign.

Very much a surprise to me as well that UConn baseball would get a commit from someone in the Class of 2026 at this point. From the way UConn recruiting has gone in the past, this summer I would expect a commit or two the players in the Class of 2025, players about to ender their sophomore year of high school, that does happen on occasion. Getting someone from the Class of 2026 this early was a huge surprise to me. I've been following UConn baseball recruiting for several years now, and I'm not sure I've seen UConn baseball ever pick up a commit from an incoming high school freshmen during the summer season. No question to me this not the usual thing for UConn baseball.
It's that time of year, another UConn recruiting commitment, Camden Righi, Class of 2025 catcher from Wethersfield High School.
