Quotes from the commits regarding Uconn turning it around and the new regime.....following the PP and GDL down years :

UConn Football Offers Challenge: Make Us A Winner- Again !


"There's no real secret," said Kevin Wolthausen, the Huskies' second-year defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator. "If we can get guys to step on our campus and take a look at what's here, see the facilities, they understand we're a Top-20 academic school in the country, all those things. And then you tie our coaching staff and direction with Coach Diaco ... that's what we do. There's nothing fancy."

TOS implies the other kid in the middle row between Coyle and Nino is former syracuse/current Villanova commit OL/DL Noel Brouse. Think he'll flip to us?

Interesting visit for sure, committed to Nova in the FCS, after the Cuse decommit / coaching change, but I thought I saw somewhere that Cuse will still honor his scholly offer from the previous staff...

With the Brouse commit will that have any effect on Izon Pulley if he decides on picking us too? There were reports that he took an OV to Illinois this weekend. Tymir Oliver, another one of our targets took an OV there this weekend too. He's now committed to Illinois.
I'm liking our chances now with Pulley. It'd be niceto get another recruit out of the MD region. Legit talent there.

Allmendinger agreed to comit as a PWO, no?
I think they both might be. Donaldson is listed on his hudl as a WR/K, and UConn has already been set at WR it would make sense for him to be either a PWO WR or potentially a scholarship K... that's pure speculation though.
