Even back then Donovan looked a foot taller.

Congratulations!

Love that shot, makes a 5'11" guy look 5' 1". Clingan is one huge dude.

He is going to be a good one for us - think he will excel in the slot and on fly sweeps. Very happy UCONN kept him in state.

 

[uconnbill]

He is a slot for UConn going forward with his speed which is a good thing

Speed is our biggest need.

Total athlete. Will be interesting to see where he actually ends up position wise.

His tape is pretty fun on hudl.

The forgotten man on offense is Darius Bush. He was in the same vein of Brewton and Houston. I'd still like to see him get an opportunity and also Houston should as well considering he was brought in as a RB/WR. I get Rosa is local so he's getting additional love, but my 2 cents is don't be so quick to overlook others.

Should be a slot/possession receiver at first and if he creates space then more of a downfield threat later.

Weighted 4.34 gpa. Congrats young man

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I'd love to hear your projections on how Rosa might impact the team in 2022.

I'd love to hear your projections on how Rosa might impact the team in 2022.

Is it just me, or is this blatantly passive-aggressive? How does any standout player impact any team?
If you need the general rules of football spelled out, just ask.
Projections?
You wanna talk about PROJECTIONS?
Projections??

Think they might mix in some lateral passes ala J Rose too. He played QB at BCHS although he threw a bunch of INTs against Maloney in the playoff game

 

[DoctorWho85]

He's going to be our next Nick Williams. But I predict he's going to have a much more productive career at UConn. And that says a lot with what Nick accomplished here.

Was more of a running QB at BC. Just get him the ball in space. Receiver, runner, kick returner.....he has wheels.
