Rivals has us up to 59 without even rating 2 of our guys yet.

This recruiting cycle has the feel of the good old days during RE 1.0! What’s the primary reason?

This is an incredible accomplishment by the UConn staff considering UConn didn't play last year and the previous decade's results have been abysmal. And this is primarily with the exact same staff from 2019. No new hire splash or anything else to change the narrative for these kids other than going independent and playing a barnstorming schedule. No new facilities to change the narrative.
 
247 now has us at 69 with only 4 commits listed and only 3 of them rated, that's without Wayburn, Voorhis, and Passmore and with at least 3 additional signees in the wings that should only go up. The one currently not rated is Donovan Branch and Rivals has him as a 5.5 3-Star.

How many spots do we have left? Just wondering if they are getting the “commit now or were moving on” speech ..whatever they are saying it’s working!!

Absolutely love Takoda Bridges, but, at this point, a little redundant as to what we already have. A bigger WR like Xavier Brown seems to be the better fit.

No need for threats - the positive pitch is working just fine.

It’s not a threat when you make prospects aware of the limited room at UConn and all the schools in 2022 thanks the Covid bonus year granted to all athletes in 2020. It would be a disservice not to mention it at some point with proper tone.

The first four years of Edsall 2.0 we took our full 25 max as we where chronically under the full 85 scholarship cap thanks to departures. Coming into this fall we added 19 new kids including transfers and our scholarship situation appears to be over the 85 man cap at the moment (although rumors we have a couple academic departures coming up which would bring us back to 85). With only 10 or so kids in their final season in 2021 we are likely to have our smallest class in recent times. Looking over the red shirt juniors, maybe a few don’t return and of course some kids will just leave, so maybe we end up around 15-18 kids.

Anyway it’s all about how you deliver the message, but somewhere in the message it’s likely noted the fact that we have fewer seats and same with all the schools. It’s just being practical about the situation. Commit soon- because we aren’t waiting long.
