Was Diaco Really a Bad Recruiter?

[Tdaley]

Look at all the misses in Diaco's first full recruiting class ( 2015 recruiting class ). All of these kids would be in their 4th year this year

Zordan Holman, Dallas Parker, Ben Hartwick, Ian Campbell, Felton Blackwell, William Richardson, John Robinson, Connor Freeborn, Philippe Okounam, Nazir Williams, David Ryslik, Chris Lee, Aaron Garland, Frank Battle.

The hits were Hergy Mayala, Tyraiq Beals, Aaron McLean, Tyler Davis, Kevin Murphy, Brian Cespedes, Marshe Terry, Michael Tarbutt, Matt Peart,

Other than Peart none of the hits were big hits.

Diaco last full class ( 2016) was marginally better but not enough to recover from this class.

Wouldn’t really call Terry a hit.

When RE left UConn had 24 guys in the NFL. At the beginning of this season there were just 7 and 6 of those were RE recruits!

If accurate, those are great numbers for recruiting.

Wouldn’t really call Terry a hit.

Hit iin my system s someone that can actually get on to the field. There is a a large range in the hits. The misses are the players that are not with the program anymore or can't even get on the field after 4 years. Cespedes is still a backup but we know he was close to being a starter this year. Davis was a miss as a quarterback but at least he contributes as a tight end. Overall we can agree it was a poor recruiting class and most of the what I label as hits are not that great. Peart is a good recruit. Mayala has been productive. It goes down fast after those two.
