Thank you td128
In terms of size Lehigh - 4 Lafayette - 13 Bucknell - 17 Fordham - 13 Gtown - 14 Colgate - 15
As breezy stated the only names I recognize as HC offerees are with Fordham. Quick glance Fordham did a good job. Honestly I think light years away from HC.

Bergen Catholic Woods kid is still in the boat even though not mentioned today. Nasty O Lineman. Got it from good source.

Point of interest I think
Fraturra’s dad, who is from my high school in Akron, played for Fordham

Did they begin to go after Blattner after Dippre decommited? Or was it after Biel decided he didn't want to play college football? I'm wondering if they still have a schollie in hand after the Dippre decommit. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

The names being mentioned are not halfies in my uninformed opinion.

Bergen Catholic Woods kid is still in the boat even though not mentioned today. Nasty O Lineman. Got it from good source. The Super Conference in NJ is pretty special. Sean Woods and Jovan George are second teamers which is pretty unbelievable. Woods' team beat George's team for the state championship in a blowout although in the regular season it was reversed with Bosco dominating. Thanks for the update on SW

Assuming Woods and Jenkins are in, the 22 players are from these states: 5 NJ 3 FL 2 CT 2 MA 2 OH 2 PA 2 TX 1 CA 1 GA 1 IL 1 IN Seems like a good and diverse haul. Just need a few Michiganders (like Dobbs, Newman, Reynolds and Dickson) in the final four or five signees🙂

I wouldn't put the academies as a great offer. A great honor, but not a great offer.
Army West Point had 63 early signees. They probably offered 500 or more guys.

Strip those offers out of the above list (HC 92). for a quick and cold calculation of the class quality. I’m eyeballing how many got MAC—level and quality CAA offers. Interesting. Within the PL ((FWIW) I think we had the best group (with Fordham number 2 and the rest seem well behind).

Offers are important, but so much of recruiting is follow the leader and that is why kids get a variety of offers or early interest. I am more interested in their size, speed, quickness, work habits, football IQ, and agility.
The staff has a record of making our players stronger, improving on those areas above, and overall better football players. After four years the staff hasn't made many recruiting mistakes.

247 Sports had us off the charts low w/only 6 signees. I would think for most of the FCS schools and low FBS schools you can at this point use their publication to wrap fish in.

Offers matter. It’s a general consensus on where a kid stands over a wide range of coaches. Do kids with a lot of offers miss? Yes. Do kids with with a few offers hit? Yes - Sluka as an example. But generally speaking kids with more offers and better offers pan out. You don’t see P5 schools signing kids with MAC only offers - whoops BC just did with Tucker. Sorry - I digress.

I said they were important--but I am more interested in the other skills, and today, there is a good deal of talent out there to evaluate, so camps, combines, and recruiting services help direct coaches to players. I would suggest there is a likelihood that others in the PL and NEC might follow who we are following or offering and, in turn, offer them as well. We probably look at players the Group 5, and certain CAA schools, as well as others in the PL, who they are recruiting, and, in some cases, we reach out.
Also, with all other talents/skills being equal, I like the players just a little bit more if they are considered great teammates and played for or were developed in winning programs.

Not surprising that HC has not yet made an announcement of the class -- indicating that not all expected LOI's have been received as of yet (Woods, Jenkins). Jenkins tweeted that he was not signing yesterday; he has not removed his Twitter post regarding his commitment to Holy cross, but I wonder why the delay? Woods likewise has not removed his Twitter posts about his commitment to Holy Cross, but again I wonder why the delay? Of course, it's possible that one or both LOI's have been received but the staff has been busy with other things and has not yet updated the Signing Day roster.
Totally off-topic, Softball has announced its recruiting class -- six commits (2 from Massachusetts, 1 each from New York, Kansas, Ohio and New Jersey). On paper, looks like a pretty good recruiting class.

Wondering if they both are waiting to the last minute before submitting in case another option presents itself- otherwise, they are good to go.

Within the PL ((FWIW) I think we had the best group (with Fordham number 2 and the rest seem well behind). Regarding some comments about "other offers", we've forgotten how far we've come. At least two and maybe all three academies would have likely handled us. They offer lots of kids but some actually play and really play at a high level. MAC offers and CAA, UMass, UNH and UConn offers are significant at our level. PWO from Penn State, FSU, Florida impress me. Frattura had early offers and interest that I don't ever recall seeing. I'm in the "impressed" camp.

Frattura did have reported offers early in the recruiting process from Pitt and Maryland. I added those above but those really early ones aren’t always still there as the process plays out. Clerveaux also had some of those early ones from bigger programs. Impressive that both were considered for that level at any point in the process.

1,050 views when I looked. Chesney is so articulate, and organized in his thoughts. He could make a ton of money in the private sector as a motivational and leadership guru.
