2015 Recruiting Thread

Glad to hear he is in state! Obviously not a shoe in but good regardless. Can keep close tabs on him. Where is he from originally?

North Gwinnett High School - Suwanne GA

North Gwinnett High School - Suwanne GA

Thanks. The HS sounds familiar. Do we have any current or recent past huskies from there?

Mike box? I think.........

Same town - different high school. Geremy Davis is also from the same area as is Maya Moore.

Geremy Davis went to Norcross High School (same high school as Jeremy Lamb) which is not really the same area as Suwanee but is close (like 20 minutes away). Maya Moore and Michael Box (after transferring from Duluth High) both went to Collins Hill HS which is in Suwanee.

Geez Bill - I live in CT and it can take me 20 minutes to drive from one side of my town to the other side of my town. The whole time I would think I was in the "same area"? I thought they are adjoining towns?

Depends. Duluth sits between Norcross and Suwanee. But I hear you. Just a feel from growing up in the area that I wouldn't relate the two too much.

Also asked about DT Christian Wilkins, a 2015 recruit. Been to UConn 4 times. Urban Meyer was in Suffield last week. National recruit.

 

[CTMike]

~365 days till signing day. Can't wait to see what the staff does with a year+ on the trail.

Wilkins could see the field as a freshman....we need to get this kid just like we held onto Newsome and McCallister.

Hopefully having McAllister in the fold is a positive for Wilkins. I might have asked previously, but where is he from originally?

I think Springfield MA.

Hopefully this staff can put in some work and keep him "home". I'm already pumped the upcoming season and 2015 recruiting to get started!

Here's the "target list" for NJ for 15/16 and one for 17

http://highschoolsports.nj.com/news...uiting-whos-next-presenting-the-njcom-top-50/

We have offers out to a number of them. Will follow-back around w/ that when I have time but Fox, Fitzpatrick, Hatton, Gonzalez, and Ali jump out.

Can't imagine that Newsome won't garner one from Coach (he's from The Lawrenceville School a la Lawley/Watkins).

Another Newsome? Get him in here to block for the smaller Newsome.

I hope we do too, but at this point I think he's an Ohio State lean and I don't blame him. Ohio State has been strongly pursuing Wilkins for awhile now in a consistent basis. Per 247sports, May 16, 2013 Mike Vrabel visited Wilkins, January 16, 2014 Tim Hinton visited Wilkins, January 24, 2014 Urban Meyer and Tim Hinton visited Wilkins, and January 29, 2014 the new Ohio State Assistant HC/DL coach Larry Johnson (Former Penn State DL coach) visited Wilkins. Not once did I see 247sports mention Uconn visit Wilkins and he's playing football in our own backyard. Uconn needs to be just as persistent as schools in other states are with our top talents.

There is no mention of UConn because there is no UConn writer for 247. Notice there is no mention of the UConn offer in the timeline either - just a check mark. UConn has been in to visit CW multiple times (especially since he and BMc are friends). He's been to UConn and the Rent for games. There are references out there - just not notated on 247. They just need to keep doing what they are doing but it will be a challenge to keep him "home".

UConn staff need to continue to build relationships w/ these sites.

So there's no writer for Florida, Florida State, Clemson, etc...? because 247sports only mentions Ohio State visiting Wilkins hard. Anyway, I hope your right and we have been pursuing him just as hard as Ohio State has we need to keep CT's top talent home.

That was my point on building the relationships w/ these sites... someone is feeding them intel - these guys (sites) don't get all their info from the kids/high school coaches.

Okay, what are the odds Rivals upgrades him from his two star 5.2 rating?
