Open Period Updates
- Thread starter aman kidwai
- Start date
Burnett, who plays QB and DB for Maret in DC, where he went undefeated his senior season, is being recruited as a WR.
QB commit Jordan McAfee received a visit from TE coach Corey Edsall.
Both are excited and intrigued by the hiring of Rhett Lashlee for offensive coordinator.
Taft WR Elliot Brown received a visit from the staff and will be visiting UConn next weekend.

Am I missing something here? A 4 star recruit being seriously looked at by multiple P5 programs with no ties to the northeast.
No, see the date ? somebody from the new staff must of offered, Asst HC Terry Richardson has always had a lot of FLA connects since that's where he grew up and was back in the area at the U. a few years ago...probably won't mean he will come here but if you don't make any calls you don't make any sales...

my guess is he got a "no thank you" from the new staff... was a lightly recruited prospect by UConn standards.
I'd say it's one of those offer to build visibility and a relationship with his high school. IMG Academy attracts a lot of talent, obviously.
confirmed with him that the offer is being honored by the new staff. Hubbard also received a home visit from Richardson at the beginning of the open period.

Sad side of CFB recruiting for the kids especially when coaches change and the guy running their side of the ball changes his scheme ( nice article again on Crockers D).
I think Diaco was the only FBS offer the Dickens kid got ( ?) and thought it was laughable that Matt ( Jan 16) thought Diaco was going to offer him a Nebraska scholly even if he is a fine young man .
.....So I'm glad to hear Dickens just got offered from URI. But it's a 2 way street in recruiting, no one was crying for Uconn ( even without a coaching change) when Harbaugh came in at the last second and a kid who said he was committed to Uconn (Nolan Ulizio) flips to Michigan a week before signing or even worst was that kid Kirk Livingstone who decided the day before to bail on Uconn. So it's better for them to learn 3 weeks out that they don't fit the scheme.... than come in and join a staff that didn't recruit them if they will never see the playing field.. Also saw that Cummins kid was just using his Uconn "commitment" until he shopped himself around
and now he has Baylor and a bunch of others knocking @ his door ( kids sound pretty gleeful when they use a school) :

guess you didn't read the whole report, was offered to stay only to have yanked away 2 weeks later, honorable coaches stand by those commitments

Sheffield got some love from FSU (aka RBU) during this cycle, but just had no shot at earning a commitable scholarship from them with their incredible RB haul this cycle. This kid seems like a hidden gem to me, just the type of player that Edsall excels with.
In-state LB from Windsor High, same as Justin Pinnock, who just committed to Pitt, and Tyler Coyle, a class of 2016 prospect. Currently committed to BC.
Former Louisville commit and has offers from Temple and UMass: https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/84753
Another commit " Wavering" ? 247 Sports is reporting a visit to the Green Wave this week-end: Ian Swenson Timeline events
I guess Matt did some digging:
