It's extraordinarily simplistic and flat out wrong to just chalk it up to "Coach P can't keep kids in CT". If he did in fact cite the lack of stability in the Big East as part of his decision, then it's a lot bigger problem than you can reasonably expect Coach P (or anyone) to just snap his fingers and solve.

I'm not saying Coach P is at fault, just saying he needs to reevaluate his recruiting approach, notably Matt Cersosimo. Name one recruit that hes been able to land?
Would you stop! The cluelessness is just beyond belief. No, we are not landing every D-1A recruit from Connecticut. Deal with it.
BC is closer to Manchester than Miami is to Tampa. it's in our back yard. If someone from San Diego goes to Cal do you say oh my god how come USC let them go to northern CA. New England is like a small midwestern state. Going to BC is so close. I've said it before. Most kids don't pick schools simply based on the football program. Kids who want the city life don't pick Storrs CT. If Uconn doesn't have the major a kid wants he isn't coming even if PP was his dad. As far as football is concerned BC is easily on par w/ Uconn and historically better. The fit has to be there. It's not like if you go here you will go pro, and at BC you won't. It also seems to me that top offensive talent is waiting for a quarterback who can get the ball down field before coming here (maybe CC is that kid).
....or Anthony Sherman, Dwayne Difton, Jason Sylva, Jimmy Bennett, and Deon Anderson to name a few others.
