To answer my question above, 10 will be enrolling in January.

"A lot of these guys can play multiple positions. We have guys on the oline that can compete immediately." Sidney Walker, Alex Wyant, Nate Carter, Alfred Chea, Hooper, Senecal, Heatherman, Alexander among 10 coming in January for spring ball." - Randy

Am not 100 percent sure but this feels like more a decent amount than the last couple of years. Love to see it though, the more time to adjust the better

I know I’ve been as big a critic as anyone but this looks like a really good group.

As the Program CEO, Edsall is strong in evaluative skills. Position by position. In contrast to PP & Diaco. He digs. He’s opportunistic. He’s sold some good kids to come to Storrs ... but he’s not got broad modern appeal.

I did not see 20 kids leaving this rising NLOI day. I’m thinking his 1.0 in 2001, he probably saw a large group also exits.

my best wishes ... he sets UCONN Football up for a solid younger guy successor. And we love going to East Hartford again.
 
Immediate impact players are few and far between but we have a lot of holes to fill. This looks like a decent group but not expecting a quick turnaround after losing the core of our OL and being so thin at RB and LB. Still holes to fill.
 
Is there anyone else we were expecting that hasn't signed? I like the look of this class but I'm trying to temper my expectations. Not because of these kids, but because of the past decade. Here's to this group ending the fall and returning this program to where it was and should be!

Welcome to UConn young pups!!!

The only one is the PWO from IMG Academy. I'm not sure how PWO's work. Medic or others may chime in here. Austin Reeves is the only commit that we know of that went elsewhere without a "formal" decommit announcement. Everyone else has signed along with 3 surprises. Three very nice surprises might I add. Theres a ton to like in this group. Considering 10 will be on campus in January bodes well for the team next season.
 
Ratings. Rivals & 247 & HUDL. I’m gonna say: McCarthy & Evans & Senecal are underrated. McCarthy, if he was A Syracuse or Rutgers sign, would be nearly a 4. Senecal? Injured. So that’s a flatline. But I think Canada gets no credits.
 
I am very impressed that, even with the horrid on field performance, Edsall is able to get quality commits from TX, GA, FL, SC and other football hotbeds. These kids have lots of options, one being to not sign the LOI and wait to see what may develop through January. Edsall and staff have certainly sold their plan and had a decent crop of buyers. This class more than any in the last 5 or so years has me genuinely excited. I see more college ready players that fit the mold of what Edsall produced in his 1st tenure. Time will tell

Without a conference also
 
We are a major State University. With a solid degree and full academic spectrum.

Randy knows how to connect with the kids that fit. Far beyond Old Dominion or App State or USF or FAU or Temple. He’s done this. We absolutely need results. But this is a good class .

I'd be interested to know if that was a positive for any commits. As we all have observed the schedule looks better than had we stayed in the American. Is it possible with the move to independence that we're more appealing than we were before? Not saying we are, just wondering.

It is glaring that Connecticut kids by far favor any school but UConn, the flagship university for this state. But.... in their defense they listen to how awful the football program is day in and day out. Much more than any out of state student. So the solution to that is recruit who you can, coach them up, win more games than you lose and then Connecticut kids will start to consider UConn again. Winning solves all problems. It solves the recruiting, the empty seats, donors, TV revenue. Win and they will come. Win and the $$$ will come.
