@Quayvon9 FB bro!

That's probably because I followed him to see where he commits when he does. I don't converse with potential recruits - I just stalk from a distance

KJ Gray - Athlete/WR from Saint Peter's Prep, Jersey City NJ

[NickyNewark]

Ah you beat me to it...rumor around Jersey City has it KJ leaning to UConn over BC and Cuse...RU insiders on 247 CB say UConn!! Thursday announcement!!

http://highschoolsports.nj.com/news...nn-make-top-four-for-st-peters-preps-kj-gray/

Funny because KJ was at RU Sunday and that wasn't mentioned in this NJ article? I don't think RU is making too big a push because they have 3 WR's commits already and are targeting Kelvin Hankins and 1 other!?! BC IS a problem with their catholic school NJ connections....this is where HCBD can earn his bones!!! Good luck I think hes a heck of an athlete/WR.

This has Boneyard meltdown written all over it. Hopefully he makes the right choice and we can avoid that.

Are you sure? The 247 "experts" seem to think BC is leading.

 

[BoatShow]

Would be fantastic to win this Northeast recruiting battle. Cuse and RU twitter fans are out in force.

 

[NorwalkHusky]

I'm guessing hes a Seahawks fan based on the background. KJ come on man UConn would love to have you come play for us!

 

[Bonehead]

How many WR are we recruiting this year...?

 

[NickyNewark]

Are you sure? The 247 "experts" seem to think BC is leading.[/QUOTE.....I only heard from a relative who lives near JC who knows some of the SPP FB players that KJ was seriously considering Uconn!?! I checked the RU board and seen he was down there Sunday and I was surprised as RU already has many WR's and went to the Crystal Ball link...it had 6 predictions ..3 had UConn...2 of the UConn predictors were RU insiders...3 had BC....I'll lean to the NJ guys knowledge on whats happening..heres where HCBD can earn his bones...anyway we'll know Thursday afternoon!!! Good Luck I hope its UConn. lol...SU thinks its them..lol..no chance.

 

[NickyNewark]

Boy in my rush I messed my reply up format wise but that's the basic story.

 

[31GuardTrap]

247 is saying Eddie Hahn has committed to UConn today. Any confirmation on this? BIG if true.

What position was he being recruited at? Anything written up about that?

 

[Sprague03]

If there's a QB I want in this class, it's Eddie Hahn. He's a 2 sport athlete and plays bball- which means he's a RKG (right kinda guy per Diaco). Keeping my fingers crossed...

Well, he won't be playing QB but we still landed him-he'll be playing Defensive Back! That makes it the third 6 foot 3 player to add the this year's recruting class and another RKG.

Excellent commit...maybe HCBD IS earning his bones. Hahn today...KJ Thursday? The Twenty ninth starts the 2 week dead period so these commits are timely!!

 

[Husky25]

R-i-v-a-l-s says Hahn had an offer from N.C. State. That can't be right. UConn doesn't win recruiting battles for 3+* football players when going head to head with P5 schools.

Have my doubts on Gray as Uconn has a very small class and I don't know if Diaco wants two WR in a class of 15. However any chance to beat your top 3 recruiting competitors probably is tempting.

You take talent and worry about where it fits later.
