Nothing better than playing at home with one the nation's top 20 national universities, and a program on the rise.

 

[Tdaley]

Wow!! Great commitment.

 

[sportsart]

Albeit a highlight tape, did you notice how many guys he hit in stride? Real good get.

 

[huskypantz]

This is huge.

Would be interesting to know if the staff sees him as a QB, a possible QB or a TE. We may not really know until fall of '17.

Jay Rose is staying home! He announces that he will commit to UCONN to play QB, Good luck!

This is HUGE! Another local CT kid. I'm loving it. This is Connecticut's team!

Diaco looks like he's starting to hit his stride on the recruiting front. Good stuff.

I think he narrowed his choices down to UConn and Syracuse because those were the only two schools to consider him playing QB

 

[Palatine]

Looks like a good get. Now, we just have to defend him for the next five months. Which is why I hate recruiting.

A Rose from any other state would not be as sweet?

Yeah, we would have gotten him if he lived in Oregon. Just a co-incidence he is local.

Yippee! Welcome to UConn, Jasen. You made a great pick.

I fixed it for you.

......and when a play breaks down, he can extend the play, but keeps his eyes downfield. Welcome aboard Jay Rose!!!

I think Travis Kelce was recruited by Cincinnati as a QB. Smart people got together, made the right choices, and now he's the closest thing to another Gronk as there is in the NFL.

We have to assume that the right choices will be made in the future -- if only because the right choice was made today.

 

[huskeynut]

A great recruit!!!!

Love his size. But more important, he shows good arm strength, very good touch on his passes and accuracy.

I assume he was recruited as a QB.

 

[Exit 4]

I think Rose has the potential to be something special at the QB position. This is big.
