UConn Baseball Recruiting and Commitment Thread

Another problem is scholarships and NIL money. If UConn had a robust NIL program, we could pull those kind of guys in.

NIL money yes. UConn to the best of my knowledge fully funds the 11.7 scholarships allowed by the NCAA.

Oops!! Usually I take the time and review previous posts in a thread to make sure I'm not repeating a previous posting. However, I just had cataract surgery on my right eye, so I am rushing through things in order not to put much strain on my eye.

Baseball has an NIL program under Bleeding Blue and D’Amelio

Baseball has an NIL program under Bleeding Blue and D’Amelio

and as you would expect from the program, they have a fully articulated plan for how that money is used.

A Calfornia JUCO, Grant Macarthur plays 1B and is entering his sophomore season for San Joaquin Delta College.

This is an interesting signing. He played 3B in high school and committed to Hawaii then moved to 1B at JUCO school. Big guy (6'4" 240) with power. Won a home run derby in San Diego and hit .357/13/62 in 46 games last year. They need some size and physicality (a la Huber) in their lineup. This guy fits that.

I like that UConn seems to be getting back into getting JUCO recruits. UConn now has at least 3 JUCO recruits coming in for next season. At the very least, Macarthur will provide 1B competition for Maddix Dalena next year. We'll see how Dalena does this coming season.

I believe when Zavien Watson originally committed to UConn, it was on his twitter page, and it was posted to this thread. It looks like that post on his twitter page no longer exists. That to me is possible evidence that Watson is not coming to UConn.

Also, the D1Baseball.com Transfer Tracker listings have a number of other players transferring to UConn, but Watson was never one of those players listed as transferring to UConn.

It always seems to happen that every year one or two players who had announced at some point that they are transferring to UConn end up not coming to Storrs and joining the baseball team for fall ball for whatever reason. I'm guessing that Watson may be that guy this time around.

grades I believe.

Watson ended up @ Cal State Bakersfield:
