what do you think>? Too many offers in the Southern states?

Trying to push my CT guys. With the focus on football down South - guys compared to potential - are more fully develop by their HS senior year. While in the northeast urban areas there is less focus and you can find guys with potential who are somewhat under-recruited compared to FL guys, who would have scores of offers from D1 schools. You obviously do both but Chief believes in investing more time/effort in these northeast kids. Many actually value a UConn offer. We need to make them early and close early.

Well push your guys to camp. It seems Edsall loathes to offer instate kids that don't camp. After all, how serious are you about football if you can't make one of these five dates at your home state school?

As for your take on locals vs southerns. I just see a lot more size, speed and aggressive play with southern kids. While I understand your point, unfortunately I feel like many of the locals are really just PWO material. Especially after you get outside of the top 20 to 25 kids instate.

I'm still hoping Edsall can find the next Orlovsky. I'd say a few Danny O's have already walked on by in Will Levis in 2018 (reportedly played well in the Penn St spring game), David Summers in 2019 and now Tyler Van Dyke in 2020. A local instate QB success story would have the added benefit of possibility reengaging a lot of lost local fans.

You really have to parse this. I’m clearly not going to agree on the Offensive Line nor most often Defensive Line. The demographics are such that really prospective great talent can still be in the traditional way we have grabbed it. And found under rocks sometimes mid Senior year.

Each other position is in far more polished form in the South. However ... Camp does uncover a bunch

Did we get 2 verbal commits this weekend? If so, are we keeping it a hush hush? If so, and it keeps the commits committed then OK..

Depends on what they believe the word commitment means? If they are committed, I want to know.... I can’t wait up all night, drinking IPAs without knowing!!!
 
A lot of UConn camp video in that Connor Katz post.

Great way indeed to start the week off...
I'm kinda cool with this NOT knowing who it is stuff. Maybe (just maybe) by the time signing day #1 in November comes, we find out then who these kids are and they'll possibly be 3 or 4 star kids..

University is not allowed to name names. Can't discuss a recruit with the public until they sign on NLI day. It’s up to the kids to tell the world.
