That is indeed the challenge. Randy excelled in the old days when kids could stay hidden. Very few "hidden" kids anymore. Rather than relying on just "hidden" kids, our recruiting strategy is more likely to also bet on and seek out late bloomers. Late bloomers is part science and part luck. I hope when we get to February we can look back and say Randy's strategy to wait for kids with surprise senior seasons (and impressive PG years) was the right call. We have to remember, everyone else filling up their class prior to this September was doing so based on Junior tape and summer camps alone.
Is this recruit likely to get or is it a shot in the dark
Finally we are going after guys that will make this team better. I like that now Edsall needs to get aggressive with trying to get these type of players in.
Look at Medic's scholarship offer tracker. I think I count 57 of 67 commitments to P5 programs. So just 10 kids choose a G5 or lesser program vs their UConn offer.
I saw all of the kids on the tracker I’m saying we are finally being aggressive in recruiting to get kids that will help
Rivals is reporting that he is no longer coming to UConn. They are suggesting it may have something to do with qualifying, but the exact reasons are unclear.
