If this certain somebody is a QB already familiar with UConn, I think I know the answer. I traded emails last June with someone on the coaching staff about him since I'm familiar with he and his family, and what happened in 2013. I received a very quick and personal response from this coach. Turns out the staff had received an inquiry from said player who said he was interested in the possibility of returning to play under the new regime, which he referred to HCBD.
The net of coach's email back to me was this statement. "To make a long story short, we have worked hard these last six months to put the disappointment of last fall (2013) behind us . . . and our mindset now is to look ahead and avoid looking into the past. We are actively recruiting another quarterback into the program (a different 1-A transfer), but he has no ties to last year’s UConn team". Turns out that was Shirreffs.
Maybe their thinking has changed over the past 8 months. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
