HuskyfanDan, the question is will we be bringing in 1 or 2 LB’s with this class?? I have to believe it will be 2… It would be nice to get Dunn and I believe that Staff was looking at Camara as a Dlineman after he camped here, in addition it seems that Walsh was recruited as a FB (at least for now). There has been some talk that Holines might have been brought in as a LB.. So besides Dunn, IMO that leaves Jalen Stevens a DE/LB combo who just visited us as our #1 target (a good looking player). There was some early interest in Zach Hume (Bolton Ma) and in Hunter Taute (Westwood Ma), I believe both players have either camped or visited. The 2 players I find intriguing, and am surprised that the interest seems to be slow coming from UConn (but maybe not), are in Noah Robinson (Doherty Memorial, Worcester Ma), and in Shane Nastahowski from Conn via Milford Acd… It’s still early, so there might even be some valuable under-the-radar types out there that Staff is looking at….
you just hit every name that would be on my radar, nice job. hume and taute are good players and yes have shown interest thru camp etc. i talked with a bc guy who siad he thinks both will end up being mac or fcs players. noah robinson i was actually told is a player, very underradar but could blow up. the probelm is i can't find much on him besides the simple google seach. has great size thats fir sure.
i want us to offer shane at milford and keep him home. as for camara, he has shifted to may positions. purdue offered him as a dl. when he camped at uconn they liked him at lb and then he did a 7-7 at uconn i think also where he played lb for that tney. considering where our program stands, i think he is worthy of a offer from us. he has said he likes uconn and wants to play local if possible. i just think hes one we shouldnt let get away.
i think we need to bring in 2 maybe 3 lbs. i dont think the local area is that stacked next year at lb so we may have a bit more trouble next year getting lbs. we usualy do well getting lbs but when u have a few that are worthy local we should sleep on filling up while we can. next year the few lbs that are known are big time and we will have a tough battle to land any of them imho.
holiness is a lb/de mix i think at this point. i see de more likely for the future. same with stevens. if we can land stevens then lets say 1 ends up a de and 1 a lb. we still need 1 more lb. dunn would be our only shot. i say we force dunn a bit and offer camara and nash. 1st of those 3 gets a spot if all 3 go elsewhere then we have robinsion followed my the other 2 ma kids radar wise i think the chart should look like. if we can land dunn soon, i still would be interested in landing a 3rd if camara or nash are still looking.
also side note- speaking of robinsion at DHS, that program is very friendly with us and we have a great player form there here now. he moved to that area from va years ago i think. anyway, they have a 2014 ath/wr who we should also be after who has a bit of the same life path as a kid currently on our roster. i hope the staff can put puzzle pieces together like i can becuase we should be able to recruit that school well. they are putting out good prospects now yearly. time to mine!
