In years past, it seemed Edsall would only offer kids who camped at UConn. I think in today’s environment, the staff has changed their methods.

Looking back at 2020, we had 71 offers out as of early May. Not sure why we have stepped up the pace. I think it’s just the benefit of having a staff that is stable making deeper inroads to certain communities. And maybe the staff and Edsall have just become more certain of what they want.

Thanks for all the updates, Medic.
Myzel seems a bit light to play D-1 football right now though. :rolleyes:
 
Just wonder why everyone we offer already has 10 or more offers. Shouldn't we be getting
involved earlier.

Um okay....as long as you are not one of those people that also bitches "the kid has no offers" when we are one of the first to offer implying they aren't worthy.

Yes...

Randy has a long history of being one of the first to offer guys and people often respond we aren't aiming high enough in our recruiting because the guy has no offers.

That said, I don't think there is much difference between being 1st, 5th or 12th. A few kids will note on signing day they stuck with the school that was among the first to offer while the vast majority sign for the school that best fits them based on some combination of geography, staff, scheme and again - opportunity. Edit update: education match is a factor of course too; some kids want certain majors and/or a certain level of academic rigor or lack thereof. The first mover advantage is pretty limited overall. And there is a real risk of being a first mover; you can easily recruit a kid you no longer need (because you recruited over him) in the many months ahead. For UConn most of our best players in the coming 2021 recruiting class will be kids that have big senior seasons...Kids that are not very high on the prospect lists just yet.

I’m too lazy today to go back to the beginning and count but just in the last two weeks - I see 2 were we are the player’s first offer and 2 where we are in their first 5 offers (there are more).

You also have to look @ the level of the offers (FCS vs G5 vs P5) and progression (my lists are alphabetical).
