Connecticut High School Football Huddle

Great story in the Hartford Courant on why Connecticut's top high school football talent may be leaving the state when it comes to playing college football.

The story comes on the heels of a comments made by UConn head coach Randy Edsall on national letter of intent signing day that questioned Connecticut high school football coaches commitment to checking-out the hometown Huskies.

On February 3rd Edsall said, ""We are better received, in my opinion, outside the state of Connecticut than what we are within the state of Connecticut — in certain pockets. That's tough to say, but you've got to say it because it's true."

High school coaches quoted in the story are...Stamford High's Kevin Jones, Notre Dame-West Haven's Tom Marcucci, Bloomfield's Ray Roberts, Rocky Hill's Dave Coyne, New Canaan's Lou Marinelli, St. Paul/Goodwin Tech's Jude Kelly Windsor's Rob Fleeting and Xaverian's Sean Marinan, plus John Fontana, president of the Connecticut High School Coaches Association.
