Multiple commits this morning?

[huskymedic]

By my count - we have (3) unnamed 2020 commits and (1) unnamed 2019 commit outstanding.

Not close - Soares is class of 2022 and he received his first offer today.

Make that 4 for 2020

Fair enough. But they have managed to make independence completely lucrative. People have told them for years they couldn’t do it and they said no way even when they were losing.
They might be the best model because we’re telling the AAC no way to the crappy contract that doesn’t benefit us at all and figuring out what works for the majority of our sports teams. If the ND model is selfish aren’t we being a little selfish and isn’t that okay because we’ve been screwed in the last decade by doing it the right way?

Huh? They have a monster television deal with NBC. People have been telling them to join a conference for years, not that they can’t make independent football work for them because, clearly , it has.

Check Quebec. We might have 10 speaking French by January

They do have a monster deal - but they tell them it can’t work because they’ll eventually be shut out of bowls, conference championships, blah blah blah. All of the stuff people here are whining about.
If we can get Fox or SNY to cover us, we’ll be fine. It’s not NBC, but it’s something.

Well, the commits got the good news. UConn is moving to a conference where the automatic bid gets you into a BCS bowl!

Really the only argument that people have made is they might get shut out of the playoff because of the lack of a conference championship game. There's no concern for them about making bowl games, making money, or filling up a compelling schedule, which are our main concerns.

Seeing how other independents do it is worthwhile, not Notre Dame though.

 

[HurricaneDave]

How do you make bowls without a conference affiliation?

There have been years when there aren’t enough 6 win teams to fill all the bowl slots. I would guess that if UConn has 6 wins they would have to go over a 5 win team. The number of bowls is increasing which helps. But still stuck with the leftovers and that’s after the stars align and there aren’t enough 6 win teams.

I guess going independent makes it easy to get recruits

I’m in Storrs today. Not stalking

However ... I was right behind a Mom & Dad & Prospect (big tall white kid) & baby brother

The kid says ... if I’m here 5 years, what’s the competition going to be like then.

Must have been a offensive lineman

 

[Pudge]

I’m 6 foot. Linebacker sized

OLine is a great guess. Maybe TE

I know they had smaller size lineman in this week for camp. TE maybe I know they need them

He left St Luke’s in New Canaan and reclassified to 2022 heading into AOF but sure...

Doesn't he have an older brother or cousin at AOF too? The older Soares was previously at St Luke's with my kid too...

I refuse to believe this is good news. Always remember rule #1.
