UConn men's soccer recruiting

[dbmill]

While Ray Reid has been in charge, UConn men's soccer has never done much of anything to publicize their recruiting signings. The team never issues press releases on who is joining the team. That may be changing a little bit, as I just noticed that the UConn men's twitter feed has announced a few new players to the team for this fall. I don't recall them ever doing that before.

Austin DaSilva just led Brookfield to their first basketball state title in school history. Tremendous athlete.

Men's soccer opens preseason training camp on August 8, about a month away, and there is still no official schedule released. However, there is this announcement of an incoming player.

Seems like a great class. Let's hope this is a solid bounce back year for Reid. If not I hope we go hard at Caleb Porter

Freshman Nic Apostol transferred to Oregon State

Ray Reid continues to bring in his international legion of recruits:

I miss the days when Morrone could win a national championship with all U.S. players. I know that we need a few internationals, but this strikes me as perhaps too many. UConn should be an attractive place to play. Are we struggling to recruit Americans?

UConn Men’s Soccer Program Signs Four to Class of 2023 - UConn Huskies | University of Connecticut Athletics

I never imagined that Ray Reid would ever actually put out a press release on recruits that were joining the soccer program. And on signing day yet. His lack of publicity on recruits was something I would complain about often. The times they are a changing. No doubt UConn will also bring in a number of international players like they always do.

Nice, our new stadium paying off already?

I'm more inclined to think it is the influence of people in athletic communications such as Chris Jones and others like him.

This is an old post but it seems like college soccer rosters everywhere are populated heavily with Internationals. Cast off European Academy kids are still a cut above your average top American recruit.

Seems like we are heavy on the African kids. Doesn’t bode well for American soccer really.
