He moves well.. hope he stays on defense for us... even though his measurables seem to scream OT... If we can get a guy his size to develop at DL, watch out...

IDK, a lot the kids committed around this time last year had P5 or multiple P5 offers. it was a good start to the class before the season started. Great having the kids already committed, they should get better coaching.
I think the commits so far for 2023 are influenced by who the current coaching staff was recruiting prior to coming to UConn. For example, it seems many of these kids have offers from Maine and were probably top targets of Charlton. I also think UConn has a strategy of bringing in guys with a lot of raw potential as freshman and then back filling needs through transfers with more experienced and proven guys who can be plugged in for 1-2 years.

Agreed. Love the transfer pick-ups. Most of the new kids are similar in profile to the past, heavy FCS offers with a few mid-major offers. If they get coached up and develop properly, there should be some gems that start to shine.

-> OT/DT Carsten Casady

Virginia Tech may have three offensive line commits already, but the Hokies seem likely to add 1-2 more offensive linemen to this class with the Hokies showing interest in versatile OT/DT recruit Carsten Casady out of Rolesville, NC.

Casady recently spoke with Hokies OL coach Joe Rudolph and had this to say about his conversation with him.

"It was actually really good. He was telling me about all the successful offensive linemen he had at Wisconsin that didn’t start out on the OL. He also said he would come by to a practice next week," Casady said. "He said I had athleticism and size and frame to be an elite offensive lineman."

While most of his current offers are for him as a DT, he's open to playing either offensive tackle or defensive tackle at the next level. He's also been receiving some Power 5 interest as an offensive line prospect recently with Minnesota, Duke, and N.C. State among those interested in him. Casady has a solid offer that includes Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Navy, Akron, Richmond, William & Mary, and Marist.

Keep an eye on Casady as a potential rising name who the Hokies are actively evaluating along with a few other Power 5 programs. <-

Totally agree....think they are looking to lock up some local kids early to both show their commitment to the northeast and also bring in kids that may be under the radar from a higher division 1 standpoint....or who can be coached up after a possible redshirt..they will reach a point where they will begin being more selective on giving offers and then they will likely back fill with transfers next spring based on need.....really like their strategy.
