Message: [QUOTE="Exit 4, post: 4230378, member: 2268"] A few thoughts.... i) its the first of three junior days....more to come ii) love that we are recruiting in new places....like SFA in MD and have been able to return to a talent rich state like NJ iii) size....lot of size here considering they are just juniors iv) i'm not at all worried that Mora is suddenly going to lose all his football senses and load this team up with local kids....he's walking a line here which is the right thing to do. v) get use to a new way of operating....unlike the prior regime, Mora wants as many kids on campus as possible and reserves the right to bring kids on and then decide on the scholarship (or the slotting of the scholarship (not all offers are commitable)). the prior regime strongly preferred to only bring kids on campus they knew they wanted...which means more potential mutual good fits and relationship building with HS coaches were missed. vi) while you always try every which way, I think in the long run most of our best recruiting opportunities will come to us on the quick in late Nov, early Dec when good three star kids find themselves in limbo during coaching changes and/or when we pounce on late developers. so many programs now fill a majority of their class spots by Sept, before senior tape, leaving few seats for the late developer. Finding those overlooked late developers should be where UConn bags its best players.... In other words, recruiting for 2023 will largely be defined not by junior days, but by those 3 weeks between Thanksgiving and 12/15. [/QUOTE]
