UConn reneges on scholarship offer

Unread post by thatRamBand »

Just shows College recruiting is a tough business...but gotta feel for the kid - sounded real excited to play there.

Happy Fleming and Staff took the initiative and offered him a Scholie, could be a great player for us.

Even if this kid doesn't come to Rhody this is great PR for a program desperately in need of some.

Deadspin and others have picked up on the story now too.

"The silver lining here is that Dickens told NJ.com Rhode Island, an FCS school, reached out Tuesday morning to offer him a scholarship. Meanwhile, powerhouse UConn pushes forward for what analysts are saying looks like a promising three-win 2017 season."

I usually am not a fan of Deadspin, but spot with this article :lol: :lol: :lol:

They were talking about it on the radio this morning. No mention of the JMU game when they brought up URI football, but they did mention how good football in the CAA is. Good to see Fleming and staff right on top of this.

He's visited URI and Lafayette and expected to go to Monmouth.
