If he ditches UConn for Wyoming, then it is a distance issue, not a program issue.

Makes sense considering the schools on his upcoming visits list are all on the West Coast. Frankly, I try not celebrate any "Committed" announcements as things are so fluid with the portal now that there is greater probability of decommitment. I'll be happy and root for them when they actually suit up in a UConn uniform during football season, until then they are a post away from going away.

Why UConn is recruiting another running back. They are not UConn players until they sign a letter

pretty sure they gotta be keeping tabs on other prospects.... just makes sense that they would/should be.

Not really a surprise:

i'm confused.
what does a "committed" post mean if you can continue talking to, & fielding offers from other schools and posting those offers on X?
does that not literally make a commitment worthless? i thought a commitment closes the communication door to other programs.

If i'm seeing it right, then commitments are only for the benefit of the player, not the school. If a player can de-commit from UConn as easily as changing his order in the drive-thru, then the only one actually on the hook is UConn, not the player. We're counting on him showing up next summer, and that affects our decisions on recruiting that position moving forward.

so, if the commitment means nothing, does that mean UConn just NEVER stops recruiting? that sounds frustrating and exhausting for the staff. NCAA please do something, this is getting out of hand.

Verbal commits don’t mean anything for either side.
