He just said basically he committed due to the coach that got hired by Rutgers and is a "soft verbal" right now
-todd stafford has a umass offer
-sadiq olanrewaju has a offer from uva now to go with his temple offer. he is someone i really want in this class...he is at rutgers visiting this weekend, went to the bball game i think also vs sju.
new names to watch for 2013:
-frank zumbo a nd fairfield fb/lb/ls.
-tyneil cooper goes to la salle hs in ri. cb/ath/wr
-andrew barton goes to ridgefield hs in ct. umass showing interest
-all the dean kids are starting to hit the sites now, looks like a full list of the class that PP clearly helped build will be public info shortly. stay tunned for that.
how about some new 2014 names:
-cj moore put him right next to newsome as a kid in that year we should go all out for. big wr out of suffield acd.
-nick kelly of staples hs in ct is a ath recruit wise. i think he saw time at qb/rb/wr/s among other spots as a soph on varsity.
is it to early for 2015? ok i'll wait but suffield acd has a monster DE already waiting for a coming out party up there...
Was checking out the 247 recruiting site. It lists that we have 1 commit (Ogundecko), but it does not list Noel Thomas as a commit. If anything I would think it would be the other way around, because some are reporting that Ogundecko is a soft commit and Thomas was solid. Also has anyone heard any news on Boyle (qb) from Xavier. He is rated the #2 player in Ct. Would be nice to keep him home.
Haven't heard any recruiting news on Boyle, but the kid has everything you want in a QB. A great frame, can add some muscle. Great arm strength, throws with a lot of zip on the ball. Not afraid to stand in the pocket and take a hit in order to complete a throw. Does a good job of scrambling out of the pocket to avoid pressure. Completed a 60 yard TD pass in the state championship game this year that flew 50 yards in the air. I wouldn't mind keeping him home either. Shared snaps the last few years, but should show everyone what he's made of this season as the full time starter.
Boyle recently received an offer from Syracuse. He could have one from ND by the end of the month.
I posted in another thread that Boyle is playing for the, Jack Cochran coached, CT All Stars in various passing leagues. He is teammates with Ansonia's Arkeel Newsome and Andrew Matos (who doing double duty playing for Ansonia's team in the passing leagues, as well). I heard Boyle has looked very good. Like you said great pocket presence, good poise, has the ability to scramble and throw, and has a rocket arm. I believe the only team to beat them has been Ansonia, who has beaten everyone and looks poised for another title run in 2012.
Kinda ironic - would Jack recommend UConn to Boyle?
Marinan had beef with Edsall, not UConn persay over the recruitment (or lack thereof) of Amari back in 05-06. With Edsall being gone, I see no reason that Marinan would have anything negative to say about UConn, and HCPP in particular.
Say what you will about Marinan, but when UConn doesn't even give a sniff at a kid who was the best player in the state two years in a row, I can understand his frustration.Marinan came off sounding like a child.

offered this kid Janarion Grant from Florida... just refuses to get tackled, wow.
I agree. I went to Xavier, known Amari my whole life, seen his abilities first hand many times. The kid has been a stud athlete from the time he started playing sports. He didn't even like to lift because he didn't want it to ruin his flexibility. He's beefed up quite a bit now, but he was an unbelievable athlete on the grid iron and hardwood. I couldn't believe Edsall wouldn't give him a look. It's a shame that coaching staff didn't keep him in CT. I would be kind of ticked if I was Marinan as well.
The bigger issues is how big an egomaniac does a high school coach have to be to get himself worked up over a college coach who's just trying to do his job. If Edsall and his staff weren't quick enough to realize what Spivey might do in college, their loss. But intelligent people move on and recognize that they are evaluating hundreds of players and they may screw up on some but it's not a personal insult.
And this has nothing to do with Edsall. P is certainly a better people person, but this will happen to him as well (although probably not as much).
