Get you point/concern (and won’t argue about a few of the offers - I had to look up the schools to figure out what division classification they were in and I’ve been doing this for awhile)… but for accuracy, Rosa held a BC offer.
We all think it I’m sure but I’m not concerned. We almost landed a 4 star so I’m sure it’s gunna come eventually.
Legit concern, but keep in mind many say the amount of offers being made is down because of the portal creating a lot more transfers. So maybe some of these guys would have more competing offers pre-portal.
Rosa was also a re-commit, I believe.
Well then he needs to develop. Ross and Drayton were ur classic three stars with FCS FBS offers. Ross was a top freshman. Offers don’t mean everything. Nate Carter had only fcs offers. Randy stunk at developing. Is Mora better? That’s the ultimate question.
If you look at the history, the rating services have not been good at evaluating UConn football prospects. I’m not even sure there’s much, if any, correlation between how many stars (or points) UConn players have had and their levels of success. Just look at the list of UConn football’s highest rated players of all time. It’s mostly a bunch of players who were eh/okay. (Compare to the rating services’ all time evaluations for UConn basketball players which have generally been pretty accurate.) I guess my point is that it seems like stars/rating is a poor predictor of player success, at least for UConn players, so I mostly make my judgements based on the players’ other offers. Thus, you can see why it’s a bit concerning. Having said that, it’s extremely early and there’s lots of enthusiasm around the program and I very well may be nitpicking. Only time will tell.
I mean he’s also recruiting way late in the game. His 23 and 24 offers have been shooting high.
It's next to impossible to put a good class together in a scenario like ours. Next year will be more telling.
Gotta believe the coaching staff knows what they're doing... so worrying about something like this now isn't worth it.
Interesting story. University of Texas played Iowa State this season. Texas had OVER 70 4 star and 5 star players!! Iowa State had 4. Iowa State won 30 to 7!!!!!!! You would have thoght that Iowa State would never show up for a game that was as big a mismatch as that. The bottom line if you can get the right coaching staff that knows how to teach and the right transfers we can win.
Also trying not to overload the roster with incoming freshmen. A mix of high school commits and filling holes with JUCOs and portal players will balance out scholarship spots available in ensuing years. Lots of chess pieces being moved around with positional needs and years of eligibility. This is all being done with an expectation of talent improvements for high school recruiting in 2023 and beyond.
Interesting I know he tweeted an OV in June, can you take 2 ?
Apparently you can when there is a coaching change
The simple reason I have them still listed as commits is I haven’t seen anything to the contrary. Wouldn’t surprise me either way though come Friday.
There are always signing day surprises (as you know better than anyone)!! At least, that has been the case in the past.
Yeah I agree. I think Burke ends up signing w UConn and if that’s the case imo we burned too many scholly on a loaded wr room
^^^ This. It appears the roster has been updated on the UConn football site. I did a quick check of scholarship players, and I could be slightly off with FR and SO, but the breakdown looks like this:
