-boyd to pitt, maybe i forgot to edit that last time or i just missed it

we are now back up to 18 commits with stevens on board. realistic end to it? not sure how much quality depth we can add, i see several good players still possible to land but i'm not sure we can bat high enough to land 6-8 of them.

19-lemelle-he is down to uconn and iowa it seems. our pa lb commit JJ is putting in work, love that. hopefully we land this kid. hes a stud wr with many great offers. def big33 and all state type noise from him. those are the types of game changers we need to land more of
20/21-OL we have a couple juco and 1 hs player who are all looking possible. not sure who we will land. a safe bet may be mcdonald(offer in question...) and rublanca. these slots need to be filled for sure if not a 3rd OL commit still...
22-TE-would love to get fuchs but i have not heard anything about him ina while. if hes a no go, then lets get phillips or batten and be done with this position. no reason to string this along. we also have joyner sitting there at cheshire acd so no excuse for this slot not to be finished off strong.
23-maybe a OL or a DL
24-playmaker. can we grab a laray smith late? or maybe we land fuchs and another tight end. need 1 more play maker or something with spark.
25-wildcard. i am having trouble seeing the depth in this class late. last year we reached a bit in some slots and also found a gem or 2(see gutz for example). tough right now to see but following the staff will be key the next 2 weeks. the issue with that is we hve like 4 actual staff members right now, so how the hell are we really out and about recruiting to the max? were not so the depth worries me right now. hope we finish off strong here.

Don't make me nervous Dan ...

Temple (TX) QB Zach Allen has flipped from #Syracuse to #TCU, he just confirmed.

 

[Oxford Bob]

tcu found its qb...

From Orange to Purple, is the cuse class beginning to crumble?

 

[UConnMatt813]

Does lamelle have a twitter? Really hope we land him, BC he definitely looks like the kind of guy that can be a playmaker.

Also, and this is just my gut, but I think we lure Laray Smith here. Our track program is a top program, and he will be able to do both here.

 

[pj]

Syracuse recruiting board acting very low class: http://syracusefan.com/threads/silver-lining-now-go-hard-after-asiantii-woulard.41773/

Definitely looks headed toward a weak class for Cuse.

 

[noeynox]

Definitely taking some shots at the kid that decommitted. Can't fault a kid when the coach he agreed to play for bolts.

Uconn stopped by my crib this morning. God is so Good.

I guess we offered him WR/ATH out of Fork Union Military prep school

Here are some 2011 highlights:

He's got great vision and good feet. Appears to be solid muscle too. Great build for a RB. I like what I see in his highlights.

Has been mentioned at all before? Another playmaker on the offensive side of the ball would be great! Keeping my fingers crossed for Lamelle as well. This recruiting class is really looking like one of the best I've seen at Uconn.

 

[UconnMICK]

Agree - This class is coming together very nicely - barring any signing day surprises. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I would have liked to see a couple more big uglies to help the rebuilding of what used to be one of our strengths on offense.

There's still time.

I'm no recruiting expert, but this kids highlights looks pretty darn good; great vision and balance and the ability to burst through the hole and quick acceleration. I hope McPherson comes to Uconn, he would be an asset. This class should take three running backs, our cupboard is empty.

McPhearson looks good to me too. Out of high school he had offers from West Virginia, Cincinnatti, and Temple, but had to do a postgrad year at Fork Union. Was at Dematha and then Annapolis Area Christian. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...rea-christian/2011/10/13/gIQAe9VWhL_blog.html

Like a guy with multiple skills! WR/KR/PR at Fork Union, RB in high school, real WVU type player who adds versatility to an offense. If we want mismatches you need guys like that.

The video above was his 2011 senior season at Annapolis Area Christian. Here is 2010 junior season at DeMatha:

 

[ktuck911]

I see RB all over this kid, along with KR... Catching swing passes out of the backfield to ( that's where receiver comes into play )... Nice frame...

 

[uconnflyer88]

could he be a db?

247 has him listed as a CB

 

[joey3$trike$]

Juco kids worry me, can they get in?

 

[BNich]

NO clue if he is being recruited as a RB or CB, but the kid has moves on the offensive side of the football. Although I will say, Amari Spievey was the best HS RB I have ever seen, could not be tackled, went to Iowa as aCB and now he's starting in the NFL as a Safety. SO I guess you never.

 

[BNich]

BTW, McPhearson retweeted a few of my tweets and said his in home visit with Coach Foley went well. So who knows!

 

[ktuck911]

If ur referring to McPhearson, he's a prep kid ( Fork Union )

 

[ktuck911]

So, does this mean he officially has an offer from us?

 

[joey3$trike$]

Ktuck I was wondering what the difference between a juco and prep school. Do they both have to do two years, or is it a prep is just one. Chandler was a c.c. right. this stuff is confusing. Also what is the admission standards to Uconn for juco or prep/c.c. is it all different. Anybody have insight on this? Thanks.

 

[huskyblooz]

Chandler went CC to get some playing time. Like Lorenzen. Some need to go that route for academic reasons.
It also uses up eligility.

Whereas, prep schools are just a continuation of high school. Some go to prep schools for academics, some to get more exposure and some to beef up a bit while not burning one of the 5 years they can have in college.

 

[BNich]

So, does this mean he officially has an offer from us?

Didn't ask him that. But he seemed very excited about the visit. My guess would be yes, but who knows.

we just offered kyle kempt. thats a serious fish to go after and a 2nd qb in the class no less!?!?!?! everyone tweet him, lets see if we are a player for him or not...

u r a true nightowl HfD... My man...

Kempt can sling it.. he was a Cincy commit but decommitted when Jones left for Tennessee... Gotta believe Weist is pushing for him... Kid can sling it too.. 6'5 200lbs... had 32 TDs this season... from Ohio, so you know he can play... can never have too much competition, especially at QB...
