If he was any good, why UCONN?
They suck. Failed badly last year.
RR sucks as well.
On top of that RR will not play him because he does not have the resume of other players on the team. No DA and not foreign. Not even ECNL.

Seen plenty of press on this kid all year, amazing high school career and came through in big games. Moral of the story here seems to be if you play crappy club, it crushes your recruiting chances. This is kid should have been lighting up the board at mid majors likes Bucknell and Colgate. Having your choices come down to some NESCACs and a late offer from UConn suggests complete disorganization

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPart of the discussion is the cold hard reality that lots of players with "great" HS careers flame out in college. Bad odds as it is in D1 sports, let alone getting recruited late and playing in a weak league. Maybe he will defy tough odds.
If you've spent any time here you learn the #1 rule - don't promote your kid on TS. It never goes well

And no, getting lots of press in high school and awards does not mean they'll light it up in college. It's all about targeting the right program and earning your time on the field. HS accolades stay home in your childhood bedroom, collecting dust

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI don't know, the best kid on my college team was a walk on accounting major that made the team and then never left the field. Another, a kid with no accolades that caught interest of coach at summer camp and made all big east twice. Maybe the kid is good from hand, but the leg swiping on this site is pretty pathetic. I don't know the kid, seen him play a bunch, rooting for him. What else is there? Root against kids developed in CT?
No one is rooting against anyone, at least I'm not. Kudos to him for even getting a spot. However, there's blind optimism vs realism.

CT Player of the Year going to UCONN is not that surprising. From a club standpoint he played for a very good young coach who was also his high school coach. Even on this board they tell you to find a good team and coach and stick with it. Sounds like this kid did it the right way. I will be rooting for him and UCONN.

No need for dumb bashing by these keyboard warriors.
Find better things to do....go help an old lady cross the street

Have you looked at UCONN roster, it is crap. They are happy to take anyone.
Good luck to the kid. I would hate to play for RR.

Take a look at the female bashing on TS. Looks like you "men" can't handle the rough riders on this site. I guess it is OK to tear young women apart here but not young men??? Welcome to the jungle. This site is not for all. If you are a real baller they talk about you here and you get bashed on TS so take it as a compliment and move on!
