but even guys like Watt who started in the MAC ended up at Wisconsin.
That doesn't support your lame ass argument at all, it actually defeats it. Keep Digging.

from wiki re: University of Maine: (spoiler alert Whaler sucks balls)
The football program has produced many professional football players and coaches, such as centerMike Flynn, offensive lineman Justin Strzelczyk, quarterback Mike Buck, wide receiver/coach Phil McGeoghan, Pro Bowl linebacker Lofa Tatupu, who transferred to USC after his freshman year, linebacker Stephen Cooper, Pro Bowl fullback/special teamsMontell Owens, defensive back Daren Stone, tight end Matthew Mulligan, defensive lineman Mike DeVito, linebacker Jovan Belcher and defensive back Brandon McGowan. The University of Maine is known currently to have the most active players on NFL rosters at the Division 1 FCS level.
Kid could be the next Ryan griffin. I'm usually in agreement that much of what Diaco says makes little sense, but at this point if Diaco said water was wet you'd find a disconnect.I have to admit I'm getting close to calling a time of death. When you are using scholarships to recruit players from Maine who have only offers from the University of Maine and calling on Connecticut players to serve the state institution and the football team...

What I take from this, Diaco is working hard to find players. I've pretty much tuned out anything he says in the off season, in part because all the rah rah were going to win quickly became were not good enough after one game. But for trying to find players I by going out and recruiting walk ons I can't knock him.
If I wasn't clear I knocked him for recruiting against Maine and calling on Connecticut players to serve their state university without scholarships.

You do realize that these players (the preferred walk-ons) are excited to to be given the opportunity to compete for a spot. They aren't being forced to go to UCONN against their will, but keep throwing Shot at the wall, it's the only thing you are good at.
Well Ryan Griffin's other offer was New Hampshire. Kids with tons of offers have never flocked here in droves. There have been some, Jimmy Bennett, Brad Kanuch, Lamelle, Kevin Murphy appears to be one. The recruiting looks no different than it ever has. I just want to see progress when the games start. Beat Nova and Army at home and maybe, his plan has a chance. Lose those games and I will begin to question if he can ever succeed here. Like you, I feel he left wins on the field last year with his coaching. We will see if year two shows he can tighten up some basic coaching stuff.If I wasn't clear I knocked him for recruiting against Maine and calling on Connecticut players to serve their state university without scholarships.
If he wants to deliniate walk ons from preferred walk ons that's fine.
I know you can't read but give this your best shot:
"but if this really talented Connecticut high school football player who loves Connecticut ... to me, these guys are not an afterthought anymore," Diaco said. "Don't go to another university. Come to UConn. Come serve this state institution and come serve the football team."
You aren't an afterthough - but come serve this state institution. Sure you have to pay your way to do it. But you aren't an afterthought.
you must be wearing a bra and panties because you want everyone to be treated the same. You want everyone to be given a scholarship, especially the borderline talented CT player. How liberal of you. I'm glad you are not in charge of recruiting.
Edit: you want everyone to be given a scholly unless they have an offer from Maine.
I thought he has a scholarship offer and not a preferred walk on spot.I actually think highly of Zordan - I don't care who else has offered. Nebraska has used the preferred walk on program for years with much success. Depth is something that has to be built, I don't care how it is done and if these kids can contribute, I am all for it.
Wake me up when we recruit majority of kids that can actually play football and has the offers .
and another Boneyarder officially achieves status. Go away turd, we don't want to wake you up.
Why the heck would someone who feels that way even bother posting in here?
LOL be glad he cares. If you exclude everyone who doesn't treat the team like a Pop Warner team you'll have about 2 dozen fans left.
Nope, the people who come in here bashing our recruits who probably read this board don't care, they are A- holes.
LOL "spare me the measurables and the high character" wow, what are we supposed to recruit on singing voice? But of course that is a poster Whaler supports, someone who kicks dirt on the football team and probably wishes it would go away.
I have held off on commenting on the recent circle jerk..
This is how Whaler views the board welcoming a new recruit.
God forbid we post positive comments about his commitment and inspiring story and achievements and damn us to hell if we think he will do well here. Whaler is smarter than the rest of us because he can see the big picture with clarity and without bias, he knows everything sucks and we should all be miserable.
Acutally guy, I ignored all the talk about the kid from Maine.
Why did you feel it should be ignored? and then why did you call it a circle Jerk?
