Any recruits left??

Remember when UConn was about the youngest team year after year? HS recruits are more of a gamble than college recruits.

I just can't get all worked up by a high school recruit.

It's a 2 way street. People won't complain when the new coach brings in some of the players he coached. Nobody complained when Joe Fagnano followed Norm Charleton from Maine.

I know some guys hit the portal but stay with the team. Do some recruits decommit due to uncertainty and end up signing anyway? I'm guessing no because someone else probably talked them into decommitting. I'm not sure the recruits are a big deal. The portal is where the team is going to be built. Older, stronger and more experienced players. I would think with an active coaching carousel comes an active portal.

Agree, but it is painful waiting to hear who will replace Mora. I get it's a process and I'd rather have Benedict thoroughly methodically looking at all the possibilities, but every time I see a flip to CSU I feel like we need to slap a tourniquet on this thing to stop the hemorrhaging.

It is very painful. I haven't followed this very closely in the past but I'm looking at teams who have the most recruits, in the 25-35 range. It's one thing if you are a P4 program getting 4 and 5 star recruits out of high school. But most of us are getting less than 3 star recruits. I don't think it's a big deal to lose many high school recruits. CSU has 23 commits but is only ranked 66 because no 4 stars. It all hinges on who the next coach is and how well we hammer the portal. Finding the next Fagnanos, Bells and Parhams would help.
