Welcome to UConn Mr. Boyle!

Loving this 2013 class.

I hope Lagow stays the course.

 

[junglehusky]

Blog post with quotes, sounds like PP and Day were involved in influencing Boyle's decision.

Great kid and player congrats guys. Wish him the best. He's your starter soon.

 

[noeynox]

I hope Lagow stays the course.

I really hope the staff has been clear with Richard and his family.

I hope Lagow stays the course.

I'm a big Lagow fan and I hope he realizes that he has had an edge competition and coaching wise in Texas.

You gotta compete no matter where you go. We believe in him. I hope he does.

huge commit just hope lagow stays now

 

[Dooley]

Wow. All of a sudden we have some serious QB depth.

 

[B1GEast]

YEAH BOYS!!!!!! Bring the Noise.

Great Great Great News. With him and Lagow the future is sooooo bright. Those two can push each other to the max! Boyle is obviously ready for competition, I hope Lagow comes in with a chip on his shoulder and prepared to win the starting spot.

Lagow has the size and he played football in Texas as opposed to Cochran & Boyle (though I like them both).

 

[Kurt]

If we lose Lagow over a kid that chose BCU first, I'm gonna be PISSED.

I'm not a big fan of Boyle's on-field antics. However, I think he has a chance to be very good...NFL good. I have seen both he and Cochran many times. I have only seen film on Lagow. I like Cochran's work ethic, he will be mentally and physically prepared for 2013. He's only 6', but he's smart, he's a leader, a winner, and he will work harder to make up for what he lacks. Boyle has the physical tools and reminders me of Dan O, physically. Tall, pocket presence, not very elusive but enough to buy time in the pocket. He has the best arm of the three. He throws a pretty deep ball and I've seen him throw lasers into small windows. Lagow is an unknown. He faced better competition then Boyle, certainly better then Cochran. He looks the part on film. Size, leadership qualities, looks like an athlete. However, his numbers don't say the same. His team was 5-6, he did throw for over 1900 yards but 8 TDs and 6 INTs on the season doesn't get me excited. He also rushed for -1 yard on 71 attempts. Those numbers against arguably the toughest competition a HS kid can face, also scare me a bit. He's already playing against D1 competition, that's not exactly lighting it up. I need to see it between the lines before I anoint him the next coming. I think the competition will be very exciting in the Fall. I look for all three to put in work this off-season with an eye on leading us to a 2013 bowl game.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Tim!!!

Welcome to UConn, Tim

Welcome Tim !

Love the fact both these guys (Lagow and Boyle) are coming to UConn. Kris1, take off your CT HS FB shaded glasses when assessing these kids. I think you're referring to Lagow's Jr year #'s, his first as a starter. i believe Lagow took his team to the TX HS state playoffs this past season, and led his team to a 7 on 7 state title over the summer. He can sling it. End of the day, great gets for UConn assuming they both sign.

We're on the same page. They are great gets and I'm glad both are coming in. But I wouldn't say 7v7 championships prove anything. There's no rush, it doesn't simulate real game pressure. It's tag football. I'd love to know how many 7v7 champs go on to win state titles.

And those are Lagow's stats for the '12/'13 season. They may have made the playoffs but they finished the season 5-6.
