New Haven Register's article on 5 in-state players players:
CT HS Seniors signing with UConn hope to build program

of note:
Allmendinger, who had originally accepted an invitation to be a preferred walk-on, was offered a scholarship Sunday. “They don’t actually have a true fullback on their team and they even told me that they couldn’t run specific plays because they don’t have a fullback and they said ‘you look like you could be a great fit for that position. I am not saying that I am going to start because nothing is earned until it is earned, but maybe I have a chance to get looked at a little earlier than maybe somebody else. If I do get an opportunity, I will be sure to not waste it.”

I'm fairly certain Jim has this incorrect, just spoke with Teddy again this morning.

Thanks Aman for clearing that up, seems like there has been some confusion along the way, with Jim having him as PWO since jan 16th......Also it would be nice to have a scholly for one more "surprise" B4 signing day !

Blades did you leave a player name out of the top row in the group photo?

Also...they have to give Donaldson an opportunity to be WR....impressive highlights....good hands and can go vertical

Agree about Donaldson, looks like a good ATH, could he be the second coming of Shaun Feldeisen ?
you mean this photo ? Maybe..... I only listed 12.... but I couldn't figure out the name of the mannequin at the top far left, LOL !
