Corey Edsall’s future

[Duncan Idaho]

It's a double edge sword. People have been trashing CE as a recruiter because the players on the field play so poorly. The posters saying that are bringing up the point that many upper classmen only had UConn as an FBS offer and the rest were FCS level. UConn's recruiting rankings reflect that.

This year's freshmen class and class of '22 verbals have had many more players more highly rated by recruiting services and many have multiple FBS offers. Empirically on paper we have higher level players coming in.

Does that mean CE should stay? No. Do I care if the new coach keeps him? No. Do I care if the new coach scraps him with the rest? No. At the end of the day the uptick in recruiting has gotten UConn to the point of not being horribly ranked with recruiting services. I am confident the next coach do that with or without CE.

Tougher still with the national and in state discussion about dropping to FCS or elimination of the program.

I think retaining CE would go along way. Recruiting has improved, whether posters here want to admit it or not. It will take time to see the fruits of these efforts, but nobody we can realistically hire is going to have 4 star guys coming in anytime soon.

I hope the next HC keeps him, and I hope he stays. That said, if he leaves, the sky won’t fall either.
