This was by far the toughest decision I have ever made. With that said, I am now a member of the UConn family
--------------

He's made the right choice. Lets see how he puts on weight this spring and summer. He seems like he has the unique skills to either be our next Jeremy Davis - a tall physical receiver or build up the upper body to be a blazing OLB. Either way should work out well. Its going to be fun to watch.

I like flipping recruits. UConn needs to do this much more.

His teammate EJ Phillips 2015. 6'1 295? NT

He's a leverage guy with some quicks. A hard worker on film. Good leg drive.

Wait a minute....he's trying to convince someone with the name "97" to join the Huskies??? This shouldn't take too long...

I know. I was just making a joke. I'm starting to feel like the joke wasn't any good, though...

I am looking forward to the recruiting battles between BD and Addazio. I would guess that recruiting against PP wasn't the challenge for Addazio like it will be now. Addazio's days of getting CT kids needs to end.

Especially this part

Diggs, a 6-foot-4 2000-pound backer, was the top recruit in Pete Lembo's 2014 class.

Tough hit for BG this late in the game. Would hate to have that happen to us.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I saw in that link that he flipped from Toledo to BS. Let's hope he is done flipping. Or that he is flipping done.
