How This Week's Depth Chart Was Assembled

[Stainmaster]

Partially inspired by @UConnDan97's post breaking players down by who recruited them, I decided to update my recruitment-tracking project from this past offseason.

I've sorted everyone on the offensive and defensive 2-deeps for the UCF game by a) which head coach they committed under, and b) which "tier" their best set of offers came from: P5 schools, G5 schools, FCS schools, or just UConn.

[Stainmaster]

Rudimentary analysis:

• 46/47 players are on scholarship (Donaldson is the only walk-on).
• 44/47 players arrived on campus on scholarship - two (Bisack and Vechery) earned a scholarship while here.
• 28/47 players were recruited by Diaco, 14/47 by Pasqualoni, and 5/47 by Edsall. Out of the starters, 11/22 were recruited by Diaco, 9/22 by Pasqualoni, and 2/22 by Edsall (6 Diaco, 3 Pasqualoni, 2 Edsall on offense - 6 Pasqualoni, 5 Diaco on defense).
• 11/44 players who arrived on scholarship had at least one P5 offer, 15/44 topped out with at least one G5 offer, 8/44 topped out with at least one FCS offer, and 10/44's only offer came from UConn (out of the 21 starters who arrived on scholarship, 6/21 had at least one P5 offer, 6/21 topped out with at least one G5 offer, 5/21 topped out with at least one FCS offer, and the remaining 4/21 were only offered by UConn).
• In terms of players with P5 offers: 7 committed under Diaco, 4 under Pasqualoni.
  
• In terms of players whose best other offers were G5 schools: 7 committed under Diaco, 5 under Pasqualoni, 3 under Edsall.
  
• In terms of players whose only FBS offer came from UConn, but had offers from FCS schools: 5 committed under Diaco, 1 under Pasqualoni, 1 under Edsall.
  
• In terms of players whose only DI offer of any sort came from UConn: 7 committed under Diaco, 2 under Pasqualoni, 1 under Edsall.
  
• Top schools we overlapped with: Temple 6, Massachusetts 4, Rutgers 4.

More to come later...

FWIW: Sterling was an Arizona State commit before moving to JUCO and Mensah had a PWO from Michigan.

 

[Stainmaster]

Sterling was a Arizona State commit before moving to JUCO.

It's subjective of me, but I chose to treat his and Pindell's recruitments coming out of JUCO as separate from their HS recruitments.

Similarly, the Mensah PWO is something I think it's important to bear in mind when evaluating him (he's not your typical guy we beat Bryant out for), but I arbitrarily decided just to go with official scholarship offers.

With that in mind, I should probably amend the list to get rid of Bell's HS offers.

 

[BlueMAB]

• 28/47 players were recruited by Diaco, 14/47 by Pasqualoni, and 5/47 by Edsall.
• In terms of players with P5 offers: 7 committed under Diaco, 4 under Pasqualoni.
  
• In terms of players whose best other offers were G5 schools: 7 committed under Diaco, 5 under Pasqualoni, 3 under Edsall.

G5 or better:
Diaco was 7/28 - 25%
Pasqualoni was 4/14 - 28%
Edsall was 3/5 - 60%

[Stainmaster]

G5 or better:
Diaco was 7/28 - 25%
Pasqualoni was 4/14 - 28%
Edsall was 3/5 - 60%

#uptick

You put Diaco and Pasqualoni's P5-only numbers. Combining P5 and G5, it breaks down to Diaco 14/28 (50%), Pasqualoni 9/14 (64%), Edsall 3/5 (60%).

Still #uptick though!

 

[Exit 4]

Great work and unequivocal evidence we have a FCS roster.

However, I don't expect the offer comp issue to change under Edsall, only that Randy's will generate far more diamonds than PP and Diasastro.

It would be interesting to see the same level of detail on an AAC peer like Temple and say Houston (or pick any AAC peer - I dont care really) and on Rutty for some perspective on their recruiting battles.

I disagree with the FCS characterization. Look at the kids on the bench from 2016 and 2017 classes:

2016:
Hahn 1 P5 offer
Williams FCS
Rose 4 P5 offers
Gilmartin 1 P5 offer
Brouse 1 P5 offer
Garson 4 G5 offers
Vickers UConn only

2017:
Swenson 2 P5 offers
Holmes 1 P5 offer
Thomas 2 GS offers
Washington 14 G5 offers
Gardner 1 P5 offer
McAffee 1 P5 offer
Hubbard 11 G5 offers
King 5 G5 offers
Tunstall 2 G5 offers
Fitton 1 P5 offer
Scott 1 P5 offer
Swann 2 G5 offers
Burnett 1 G5 offer

The only way to really measure this discussion is to look at other AAC schools. I'm rather confident all but maybe Tulane and ECU will show they win a lot more G5 and P5 recruiting battles.

#uptick

I know that the #uptick for PP doesn't seem right, but I would still argue that there actually was an uptick, and certainly a heck of a lot better than Diaco. (God, please shoot me for defending PP for anything he did to / for us!). The fact of the matter is that he ruined more good recruits than anyone I've ever seen in my life. Even folks who ended up not playing here!

If you look at PP's first full class (2012), these are the types of players he had here:

Joe Williams - 3 star prospect who went on to absolutely kill it at the RB position at Utah. He got himself into trouble stealing credit cards. Can't fault PP there.
Richard Lagow - 3 star prospect of UConn legend who went on to be a very good QB at Indiana after he stopped bouncing around.
Jazzmar Clax - 3 star prospect with offers from Arizona State, Minnesota, and Rutgers
Chasz Wright - 2 star prospect with an offer from NCState, but never played here because he bolted for Penn State.
Tim Boyle - 3 star prospect, also of UConn legend status, with offers from Florida, BC, Pitt, and Cuse. Don't need to say anymore here.
Chris Britton - 2 star prospect, offer from Pitt.
Brian Lemelle - 3 star prospect, offers from BC, Iowa, Nebraska, Penn State, Pitt, Purdue, Rutgers, Virginia, Va Tech, and Cuse.
Cole Ormsby - 2 star prospect, only UMass offer but currently leads our team in sacks (for whatever that's worth)
Jordan Fuchs - 2 star prospect, offers from Florida, Iowa State, and a bunch of MACs.
Jalen Stevens - 3 star prospect, offers from UNC, Arizona State.
Corey Jasudowicz - 3 star prospect, offers from BC, Maryland.
Junior Joseph - 2 star prospect, offer from Rutgers. Currently our best LB (for whatever that's worth)
Josh Marriner - 2 star prospect, offers from Temple and Navy
Kyle Shafenacker - 3 star prospect, offers from South Carolina, Cincy, and USF.
Jhavon Hadley - 2 star prospect, offers from Miss St. and a bunch of G5.
Foley Fatukasi - 2 star prospect, currently our best NT (for whatever that's worth)
Tommy Myers - 2 star prospect, currently our best TE (for whatever that's worth)
Noel Thomas - 3 star prospect, was our best WR after Geremy Davis left, offer from Rutgers

We joke after the fact, but at the time, the excitement was palpable. We were finally beating out bigger programs....SEC schools even...to some of these recruits. And I'm not even mentioning the 3-star prospects he had that year that only had G5 offers (Holines, Quinn Thompson, Tommy Hopkins). But PP was a horrible head coach. And, with the exception of Don Brown, he selected clowns as assistants (TJ Weist was pretty good). The final proof that he sucked was when we saw Knappe and Levy go on to NFL camps, even though their UConn careers were...rough!

#uptick was real. But #uptick < #incompetence...

You can't judge a recruiting class on signing day as, on paper, the class looked good based on offers, but we lost too many players from that class for various reason: Joe Williams, Richard Lagow, Chasz Wright, Jordan Fuchs, Corey Jasudowicz, and lost too many to transfer: Tim Boyle, Josh Marriner, Jalen Stevens, Javon Hadley. Despite the offers, if I rated this class now, I would rate this a poor recruiting class as probably nobody who played significant time at UConn was drafted or is considered a real NFL prospect.

This is what Randy will turn around. Kids will be developed and stay 4 or 5 years and we will see some amazing 2* athletes turned into NFL players.

Well, you're pointing out the obvious; the fact that having an offer from a P5 school doesn't necessarily mean you're going to be a good player. Part of that is due to players not achieving their potential. Part of that is due to the coaches failing to bring out their potential. I'm arguing the latter had a tremendously negative effect on many of those players. I really wish that we could have seen many of those players under the current coaching staff. For example, Noel Thomas would have had a billion yards, give or take.

Here's what we know; regardless of offer list, Edsall and staff will find talent and will bring out the best in them...

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

In case you forgot how many Edsall guys that PP inherited played/are playing in the NFL watch a game from 2011-2012. Those teams were completely stacked and the dude couldn’t get to a bowl game.

Its nearly 2018 and you're still whining about '13? Have we not given you enough to whine about this year? We get it, the P hire was a bad one. Can we all agree and move on?

I appreciate the effort.

But this is the "pity party" negativity that many of you swallow and swim in. You have no freaking clue how many Offers these kids get; the Money services aren't good resources. Kids lie. Often it's not reported. Then when you Offer a kid in June and he accepts ... who's to say he didn't get 5 P5 Offers when he had a damn great Senior year.

Then ... those damn services don't cover the dense Northeastern United States.

There are kids committed today ... that UCONN may be the only FBS school that looks at him. So ... once again ... curmudgeon behavior.

I was waiting for this post.

Your supposition is that in today's Twitter age, kids are hiding the fact that they are receiving P5 offers?

Also, it's odd that the recruiting services seem to be able to cover BC, Pitt, Syracuse, Rutgers and Penn State, but it's solely UConn commits that are vastly under covered?

Also, for as much as I battle @Stairmaster regarding Ollie issues, his football posts are spot on, how was his post negative? It was actually a great post, that provided us with a really in depth look as to why were in our current situation.

All you need to know is what our record has been the past 5 seasons and then look at what talent was on the field. You're arguing in the face of logic.

 

[whaler11]

The data isn’t perfect. Doesn’t mean it has zero value.

 

[gioff23]

Dear Eileen,

It's not remotely related. Who on the depth chart was recruited by RE 1.0? Who on the depth chart would have helped PP win 5 years ago? Yes, we had talent in PP years - mostly on D, but enough to get to a bad bowl and still be stuck in purgatory. I think the horse is officially beaten, but, please, look for any thread to remind us we should have gone 6-6 or 7-5 that year.

Sincerely,

Jill

To give you an answer, I would need to see that evaluation for the 2015 recruiting class. Those kids would be juniors by now. Also, it would be helpful to see the star ratings on the kids, since I am guessing that kids aren't heavily recruited after committing early to a school...
