And, FSU already has 2 RBs committed for 2018.
They always superstack (the high tier P5 schools) at positions of strength...

With what we did at QB in this class, looks like we're about to start that trend as well. We need to... or else we'll be that same old wanna be P5 school that just does things their own way, which has gotten us nowhere...

With the recent additions in our Athletic Department, I think we finally woke up.... Hopefully we are that sleeping giant I always thought we had the potential to be 10 years ago...

Try this. You believe not a single Victoria Secrets model would sleep with you.
Way to be pithy, BL (and congrats on the number of likes you garnered from it), but it is tantamount to a concrete fact that that not a single Victoria Secrets [sic] model would sleep with me. I don't hope I'm wrong. I've adjusted my expectations and moved on.

However, am I holding out hope vis a vie a Victoria's Secret model feels otherwise? I'd never articulate it...;)

Did I miss something? What happened with the Kayoute(sp?) kid.

Sorry, in traffic right now. And medic is likely a better source than google...

Visited/No Commit. Unsure if it was ever confirmed that he held an offer.

BCU has a weird recruiting class. 5 QBs, 3 Pro-style and 2 Dual threat. Only 2 OL and 2 DBs if you count Sebastian as a DB, one DE and 2 very late 2-star DTs

not that UConn wouldn't have take most of these commits, but it is just a weird breakdown by position.

I will never understand the phrase, "I hope I'm wrong."

Ask a WWII vet, many of whom felt they were going to die. My uncle was one who was happy to be wrong. Unfortunately many of his friends were not.

You're comparing something like D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, or Iwo Jima to UConn sports?

The value of a BCU education! You need a phone call to let you know a fax came through on the fax machine right behind you.


If those bc folks don't denounce the stupidity of that promo then what a bunch of homers.... that's as bad as the civil conflict in terms of ridiculous and we went off on our coach!

What's with the embarrassing shades indoors? Is he channeling Stevie Wonder or something? This could have been the final straw getting T.J. Gardner to flip!

How in this day an age could there not have been "one" person to say you know what... that might not be a good idea.

Listened to Edsall on Joe D and Gresh, nothing earth shattering except that he made a couple of references to not being done and possible grad students or regular transfers on his radar, specifically WRs.

FWIW, Ian Swenson comes from a hell of a program(Loyola Acad.). State title 2 years ago, runner up this year. I think they've lost 5 games in 4 years. And Quayvon Skanes RS Frosh was QB on the first Chicago public school(Phillips) team to win a state title in 40 years(14-0). Skanes was a blur in HS. Very fun to watch. Hopefully he has added some weight and we'll see him in the slot and returning punts. I hope RE2 keeps recruiting Chicagoland. Plenty of talent and the state school is not a big draw.
