theknife Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Any chance of a late DE offer? Seems awful risky putting all our eggs in a basket who's openly visiting other schools. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Decided to look up UConn's committed recruits to see if there was anything there for Diaco to poach. 10 commits, and only one 3*, the rest 2*. Yikes https://connecticut.rivals.com/commitments/football/2017 1 Quote Link to comment

Yikes https://connecticut.rivals.com/commitments/football/2017 It's uconn...... what do you expect. Judging his recruiting based on a low tier program is not fair. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I should say that my post was not meant to judge his recruiting. I just wanted to see if they had anyone that we might want to poach. And from the looks of it, they don't. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Word is we have more than one silent commit and they are big. FWIW Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Word is we have more than one silent commit and they are big. FWIW Mav.....not laughing at you. Laughing at the thought of silent commits. Now that I've gotten over my chuckle....I'm assuming these are guys who have told the coaches where they want to go but don't want to announce till signing day. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sker4Ever Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If you had to guess those would be Lewis and Lenoir? Don't see any other big fish we are in on Quote Link to comment

Also, that is not exactly coming from the most reliable source, if you get my drift. Although BIG ERN said awhile ago that we had three and one of them was obviously Calvin so two others would seem consistent. We'll see I guess. Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Big = Daniels imo Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Big = Daniels imo Agreed. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) 17 commits on our way to 22 (so they say). Sounds like we're looking for 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 DT, and 2 DBs which is 6 guys for five spots but we could go up to 25 guys. Also think we'd take another DB, DE and Lewis if available.I would guess Guy Thomas is an OLB in a 3-4 so a traditional DE is not much of a priority anymore..Priority:DB - Our roster isn't in bad shape but we don't have any commits there yet. Still.WR - The three we have are really good but with the lack of numbers we need a couple more. TE - Need to make sure we add depth. -----------------------------------------QB - 1 - TRISTAN GEBBIARB - 1 - JAYLIN BRADLEY, CJ VerdellFB - 1 - BEN MILESWR - 5 - KEYSHAWN JOHNSON Jr., JAEVON McQUITTY, TYJON LINDSEY, Joseph Lewis, Gavin Holmes, Bryan Thompson, Randal Grimes, Jamire CalvinTE - 2 - AUSTIN ALLEN, Kurt Rafdal, Nick RobinsonOT - 3 - BRENDEN JAIMES, MATT SICHTERMAN, CHRIS WALKEROG/C - 1 - BROC BANDODT - 3 - DEONTRE THOMAS, DEIONTAE WATTS, Damion DanielsDE - 1-2 - GUY THOMASLB - 3 - WILLIE HAMPTON, AVERY ROBERTS, ANDREW WARDCB - 1-2 - Deommodore Lenoir, Greg Johnson, Elijah BladesS - 1 - Kamren Curl Edited January 17, 2017 by Mavric Quote Link to comment
Huskinator Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I'm taking silent commit as "I'm interested but not sold" from now on. So I hope we can push them over the edge but won't get excited until its public. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I could see the silent commits being Daniels and Greg Johnson. Here is a question I've had rumbling around in my head while cooped up in the house because of ice. Let's say we get to signing day and the staff realizes we only have 20 instead of 22 commits. Would you offer some players that are more of a project to fill the class or leave those scholarships open so we can sign more next year? From what I have read we only have something like 15-16 seniors graduating next year. IF we can't fill this class up with players we really want, I would suggest leaving a couple open and even out the classes. Two fewer recruits this year isn't going to hold back the program compared to taking a couple kids that probably aren't going to see the field. Wishful thinking......wouldn't it be fun to get both Lewis and Grimes from USC? Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Silent Commits do not exist. The sooner we get that through our heads, the better off we will be. Yes, I'm just starting to buy into this method of thinking, join me. 4 Quote Link to comment
