With Harper Holloman being assigned a 247 Composite rating of 84 three-stars UConn's 2024 recruiting class jumps to 82nd and is now ahead of previously 79th ranked UMass.

Don Brown. Even Taisun P is thereHow could UMass possibly deceive enough good players to rank ahead of us early or late?
They have a 247 “reporter” / cheerleader… and we don’t.How could UMass possibly deceive enough good players to rank ahead of us early or late?
The 247 reporter has zero to do with the team rankings. It is simply a mathematical formula that averages all the rankings of all the services. If you notice last year, UMass was ranked like 125 in the Team Rankings even though 247 had them ranked mid 60s.They have a 247 “reporter” / cheerleader… and we don’t.
Gonna laugh hard when 247 has to finally give this program respect when we get the b12 invite.
Yup… and “kids”/market will adjust and use programs as placeholders. Program/staff resources are needed to continue to recruits even “committed” kids 24/7/365.We've joked about "commitable offers" - but its really a thing and really how the process works. Programs offer kids to put them on their radar and show respect.....but they cannot possible honor all the offers and so often when the offer is made the kid is told where they are on the depth chart for that offer.
Thinking it will even be more common now in the Transfer Portal environment:is it normal to have a lull in commitments over the summer?
