Shhhh

Shhhh

LOL - Yeah, that kinda went away after the last few cycles w/ Cheshire Academy/Suffield Academy attention. Good for CT perception - harder to keep in state w/ P5 sniffing the field.

I can remember 7 or 8 years ago when 10 or 11 tops got D1 offers. Last year and the year before it was closer to 20 or more. Some were highly recruited, CJ Holmes was recruited by Alabama, ND, Michigan, etc. Ben Mason was recruited by many schools, and recruiting services, IMHO, are being conservative on CT kids, FCIAC star Brandon Bisack wasn't ranked and joined UCONN as a walk-on, turns out the kid possibly may be our starting QB in the Fall.

These are the kids that grew up during the D1 successful years. This is the beginning of the harvest

So now that everyone knows, the P5 schools will come in and take the best leaving us only scraps.

I wouldn't be so sure. The buzz towards UConn from CT kids seems to building... We'll probably always lose most of the huge recruits (especially from prep schools), but that's always been the case anyway. The key is holding on to that second tier of guys against the likes of Cuse, BC, etc. We can be very successful with that talent and this coaching staff.

which will eventually lead to us holding on to more top tier CT kids (HS or prep)

I've only been checking out what Supreme has been doing for a short time but I really appreciate them.

The other leg of the stool here is that the more local recruits you have, the more you can entice P5 schools to play us and play here.

Been saying it for years...UConn needs to work on developing strong coaches in the inner city...Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport. Remember how good Bloomfield was and how many athletes they sent to division 1 on an annual basis? If the state had strong coaches in those cities we'd see 30 to 40 1A athletes per year, guaranteed.

I saw that - It's all about getting the kids in his program the attention/interest they need to succeed. This came after the 247 article - he's taking advantage of the PR while he can.

It's still a business...

... the writer for Rivals also writes for the UConn Rivals site.

I think everything he said is fair. If Rutgers is recognizing the talent that these CT players have early on in the process, it differentiates them from the competition. I don't think there's any excuse for Rutgers to be on CT kids before RE & staff. I suspect that won't be the case for long, once the staff is fully in the swing of things again.

Each of the kids mentioned already hold a UConn offer as well.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that those were Edsall offers and not BD offers?

Yup... but we're talking Class of 2019 and 2020.
