Mike Anthony @ManthonyHearst 53s
Derek Spearman, DB from Davidson, N.C., and Loomis ... "Nate decommitted and came back on second official visit and recommitted. He can rush off the edge, drop into space a little. He may grow into a defensive tackle. Helps us immediately, putting pressure on the qb," Mora said.



** Mora talked about Voorhis but Mike missed it.

Do you mean talked about Spearman? That is very clearly a Nate Voorhis quote.

Even dozen for now…

Also interesting they list him as an athlete (rather than TE) and sounds like Mora is considering him on D in the presser. If I heard him right he was comparing him to a LB that played for him. Makes sense numbers wise with Estes and Joly also listed as TE's in their signing tweets.
 
.-.
Its clear - Mora is showing a interest in those DE/TE tweeners. Lets see if that continues with the Feb signing period as well.

I remember the last time Cincinnati came to the Rent, every dude on that sideline looked to be 6'4 and 240.
 
A thought about transfers - this is UConn, so kids need to academically qualify and maybe that process has impacted the signing day splash. Lets see how we do with enrollment come January. Bo Estes probably had a nice little transcript ready from a JUCO school positioned to bang those out, while the others might have a more involved/delayed process to get things in order.

Also I don't know about Juco's ( Estes) being able to actually sign, evidentially so. But I remember Edsall making this comment regarding transfers "(RE) suggested adding a binding letter of intent to the transfer process, to avoid situations like the one he experienced this offseason when defensive lineman Michael Hinton abruptly switched his commitment from UConn to Tulane." I don't know if that's still the case, because IIRC, Hinton signed an aid agreement, but it still wasn't binding.

JM likened Denzel Mountali to a Anthony Barr type ... so, sounds like this young man very well ends up on defense...

and that'd make sense for the Hoffman signing if it does indeed happen within the next 48 hours... he'd probably stick at TE....

The video posted by Mora had Hoffman listed at DE

I also remember the last coach we had that recruited 20 Tight Ends and tweeners didn't work out so well. PP used to talk about prototype size for a position. It appears some of these guys have more athleticism than those recruited under that regime.

We shall see....certainly cannot ignore the parallel to DiscoRedPants. But its only part of the signing class, lets see what comes by way of transfer and in the Feb period.

Hoffman has great speed - thought TE was his future.

I think the answer to the not announcing Transfers is simpler. Is businesslawyer still around

This is THE Signing Day: JUCO & HS prospective inbound executed a contract today and placed it in the University's inbox to be processed. Obviously, this has been this way for years.

There is NO contract through the Transfer Portal. Nothing signed. Committed? Verbal saying you're in. If you look at how several schools are handling this ... it is relatively consistent. Most don't announce or release the transfer names with the other. Buffalo did; I quickly looked at 4 or 5.

There is a story of a guy who was a Utah starting center until late July. Entered the Transfer Portal the first week of August ... and was starting for Mississippi on Game One. After he had surfaced at 2 other schools. Unama is his name. Goes both ways - University doesn't have contractual obligation either.

I'm not an expert on this, but I think transfers just enroll. Whenever the school enrolls him as a student, it can be announced. But I don't think there is an equivalent to a date regulated NLOI.
