Bob Diaco and his staff did a decent job of opening up a talent pipeline from the Chicago area for UConn Football. His predecessor's focus was much more local.
Chicago natives LB Vontae Diggs, DB Aaron Garland, WR Quayvon Skanes, and DB Ian Swenson were among the highest-rated prospects in their class. UConn hasn't recruited a player from that area since 2010 when a one Randy Edsall was the Huskies' head coach.
Edsall is back, and will continue to recruit the area. Today the Huskies offered Marist (IL) teammates TE TJ Ivy (https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/182358) and DT Elijah Teague (https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/176721).
