What is his coach doing by encouraging Power 5 schools to see Jordan who has already committed ? Trying to enhance his own reputation ?

That is the case with all commitments in this wild world. But assuming all stays in place, he will be ready to play.

Well that's not great.
Hope we don't end up losing recruits to late FBS/P5 offers

Time will tell but these commits are very good. It wouldn’t shock me if all 12 get FBS offers. They are that good.
It prob won’t work out that all 12 get FBS but I think 6-8 will.

I hope we are able to keep all of those who have committed- and by the way none have stepped away from their commitments. There are cases at the FCS level where a player might be offered a full late vs. a partial, and I understand why the player and their parents might change because of the financial impact.
A long time between summer commits and December signing dates, and FBS will take advantage of it, but these are good young men and I hope they all decide that Holy Cross offers them more than most other academic-athletic-post graduate experiences.
With basketball, there is no real financial implication- a full equals a full scholarship.
You do have to wonder how many HS coaches get their players to give an early verbal commitment and tell them if something better comes along, they can take it.
We do best with talented players of high character, understand Holy Cross, and are good people. I think our 12 commits fit that description.

I believe 7/12 of the current commits already had at least one FBS offer (not including Academies and not knowing for sure what was committable). Cason (Sam Houston, Tulsa, New Mexico) Watson (Temple) T Jones (Wyoming) Miles (UMASS) Sewell (UAB, Temple, Akron, Kent St) Bostic (Ohio, Charlotte, App State, Marshall) Gordon (BC, Bowling Green, Toledo, EMU) Newton (Maryland) makes 8. I think it will take a new P5 (P4 starting in ‘24) to really put us at risk of a de-commit. Interestingly, of the 12 commits so far, Newton (and maybe Rauner) had arguably the fewest list of big offers, but with that size, playing for a good program and big start to the year, he was on the bubble with the Terps and helped himself. A few more will get new offers but P4 are the one’s that should rightfully make us rethink our allocation and revisit Plan B’s.

It’s a tweet that reads as follows: 2024 Holy Cross DB commit Terrence "TJ" Jones is an impressive player in the Prosper secondary @tjjones06 | @prospereaglesfb 6'0, 190 - physical and roams around to hunt tackles. Reported 76-inch wingspan and a 41" vert 👀

Lathan Croley 6’2 /205 LB Miami Welcome aboard A massive get. Kid has all the tools. Closest thing to a Dobbs clone physically coming out of HS since Jake. Explosive, twitchy, ferocious tackler, excellent blitzer etc. However, like Jake he’s at best 6’0 and maybe closer to 5’11. If he was close to 6’2 he’d be committing to UCF. He’s got good length for ~6’ though.

FBS - Western Michigan, FAU, Akron (commitable) UCF, JMU, Marshall, App St (early) GA State very interested (multiple visits) but no offer. Before the transfer portal this kid lands at solid G5 FBS, no doubt. FCS - Penn, Fordham, G’Town

Thanks. Interesting group Do you think that the reason there were so few FCS offers is that most believed he would go to an FBS school ?

I actually missed that G’Town was his very first offer. The Hoyas are investing more in aid based football offers so if he had a nice package he could have been content with them as a FCS “back-up”. Penn was also very Interested and was recruiting him hard. Not bad “back-up” schools haha.

Before the transfer portal this kid lands at solid G5 FBS, no doubt. FCS - Penn, Fordham, G’Town I'm interested in the distinction that you make between a couple of offer groupings. The first group that you identify as "commitable", are these offers you believe or know to be "commitable", and the second group offers that were "early" so you're not sure if they were "commitable" or not, or do you know they weren't commitable. Other than App State that might have been in April, I thought the rest of his offers all came in through May and June with most regular offers (like ours). Without special knowledge I'd have thought all his offers were commitable with the possible exception of App State. Another outstanding recruit.
