-we only need 15ish players
- we will have anywhere from 3 to 7 kids in juco prep on deck for 14 commits. We know Fuchs(Milford), branford(fuma) and sylva(dean) are on board.
-we told many north east kids to camp. We offered only a few( the real good ones) and told many quality prospects to earn offers in camp. Cooper is a great example. Quality prospect, not a world beater but we told him to camp. He will be at uconn tomorrow.
- we offered over 125 kids already with a high % if them being from mid Atlantic or south of that. Most of those kids won't travel to camp up here unless they are borderline kids who will do umass, uconn, Ruty, Cuse, temple etc on some type of 2 week circuit.
- after offering northern kids we didn't pressure kids to get on board. We let offers sit until camp time(not aggressive).
- meanwhile Cuse and bc especially have been aggressive. The dazzler has mass on lock and he took the best rb out of ct. He's after dintino, Holmes, cooper, barmore among other ct kids also. He's aggressive.
I get that we have limited slots and are aiming high, but that doesn't mean you can't get a coupe, kids to verbal. We're striking out and not being aggressive so far. Being late on outlow has no excuse. I was going nuts about him last year and ppl here were mad I wasn't focusing on newsome who we all want also. So if I knew about him then they should hav even all over him and they weren't. No excuse. Don brown went up to bc and grabbed a bunch of kids we had half way to the bank like yiadom. We just let him do it, didn't fight back.
The reason it's a stinky feeling is because of how this year is going on the trail so far. We're not being aggressive. We didn't offer marchi until after temple did. Talk about lazy asz recruiting. Oh hey, we know your good enough so here a offer after temple just did. We were going to offer you at camp but didn't feel like it was needed before hand for reasons xyz. Just lazy and not aggressive. Kids and parents look at that and can see thru the bs. Look at temple class and the quality is has for Christ sake. No conf excuse possible for that.
We all know this year was going to be a big one in New England. So far we have crapped the boat. No matter how you spin it. Just because we only have a couple slots to fill does not mean you wait. Fill them early, and start getting after the 2015 class. That's what the big boys do. Stop making excuses for what's going on.
The dazzler told all his ol recruits he had 2 slots to fill and maybe a 3rd at the end of the class based off numbers Tbd after the season. So he pressured the 2 best ol in New England to commit and they did. We just sat by and watched. He's already in dintino a ear. We're dragging it on with the kid. Come to camp for a offer blah blah. We all read the camp report from a month ago. Kid can play and he's going to be a center which we need. Offer and get him now. Stop waiting. It's horse shtt to both him and the fans.
Remember the whole perception thing? Well right now its that were a dying program that can't get a recruit. All it would have taken was p to tell Sylva to verbal and call the sites to tell them. Then p calls Fuchs to do the same. All of a sudden now we have 2 good verbals with stars and we at least show signs of life perception wise on these sites. We haven't done that. Know why? Because we don't give a poop and that's why uconn football sucks donkey asz right now.
