Illinois receiver Quayvon Skanes commits to UConn

The next group of UConn incoming freshmen isn't expected to number much more than 15 (if it gets that high) and at this rate, that number could be reached before July 4 or the time I get the power back at my house.

The constant flood of verbal commitments continued today when Quayvon Skanes, a 6-foot-1 receiver out of Phillips High School in Chicago, became the fourth player to commit to the Huskies.

Skanes, who caught 41 passes including 12 for touchdowns as a junior, announced his decision on his Twitter account.

I'll be committing to the University of Connecticut #BleedBlue #Humbled

According to a story in the Chicago Tribune Skanes has a 3.7 grade-point average and Illinois and Iowa are among the teams to have offered him a scholarship.
