Belin to Syracuse. I think that's such a stretch. I don't see that one with his ability and size at all. Oops. Posted without looking above.

I think we have another signal. Would give us 3 in the hole.

2nd visit in a week or did his visit last week get pushed back? One visit from last week. Just takes a few days to get the pics back. Tons of kids posting OV pics today from last weekend. Standard. hmmm, standard to post pictures. I thought Grant had posted one last week when he visited. I was interpreting this one a bit more positively. I hope not standard.

He didn’t post any pics on Twitter before today. His timeline shows one set of OV pics to Bowling Green and now HC. He would be a big get.
Of his existing offers, I’m guessing Delaware would be his final visit before deciding. Maybe Temple but just spitballing. He took an unofficial to Memphis in the spring. That’s a wildcard that I’m not sure if or when it was committable.

Will we eventually see a post of the nation, showing the location of all HC commits - as we did for the last few years?

Yes I believe Breezy is waiting till these commits become public and/or we get to 50 total offers to give first national updates.

Agreed! My list is on my computer and I thought I would make my first posting when we reach 50 offers.

OV weekend begins today with ~7players on campus this weekend. A quick recap. 10 players off the board with 2 to HC (Ferrara and Georgs) 7 to FBS - UCONN, East Carolina, Troy, Miami OH, Kent State, Western Michigan, Marshall 1 to FCS - William and Mary New staff but our competition for players looks very similar v. our first wave of offers last few years. IMO, we are trying to lock down at least one top of the board player at each position by July 4 w/ August 1st at the latest.. MASSIVE Weekend on the Hill! **updated to 10 players off the board. I forgot Gardner to Marshall initially. July 1 update - This is a massive week ahead with commitments across the national landscape. First week of July always is. Then will be the sprint to August 1st to lock down top of the board players at each position. 23 players have now committed from our 44 public offers with HC winning 5. (Ferrara, Georgs, Sorrentino, Redfern and one still unknown). This is an ~11% close rate which is line with the ~10% most programs target during the first wave of recruiting. That being said, my guess is our coaches are shooting for a close rate closer to ~15% with their selectivity and fewer offer strategy. Of the 18 Non-HC commits, 15 have gone FBS with only 3 to FCS (W&M, Yale and Richmond). In looking at their offer strategy, it appears like they want to close the following top of board positions by August 1st. QB WR TE OL #2 DE CB RB doesn’t look like a major push right now. I expect that by this weekend they will know where they stand w/ their priority players above and adjust accordingly to bring the next group of targeted players to campus in July.

We lnoted the 5 commits out of 44 offers, but should we also calculate the 5 HC commits out of 23 who have committed somewhere? So 22% of those who have committed chose HC.

You can definitely think about it this way for now but ultimately the % number will be derived from the total offers with is the standard practice.

I expect that by this weekend they will know where they stand w/ their priority players above and adjust accordingly to bring the next group of targeted players to campus in July. This is spot on. I think the Coaches would love the top end of the board wrapped up by August 1. Their season starts on August 1 as well. Having 10 in the boat with most of their top end of the board guys committed by then would be a major home run. Keep in mind the recruiting cycle is 3 weeks shorter on the back end this year with Dec. 4th being signing day. And there aren't many opportunities to get kids OV's beyond July. With Thanksgiving weekend and the bye week in October being the options - and neither of those options is really that great because you're dealing with High School schedules in October and obviously family time over Thanksgiving weekend. Emphasizes the importance of July.

If I’m reading correctly,no one we offered opted for another PL school over HC. I believe we also got a commitment or more from players who had offers from other PL schools. It’s great to win those battles.

Regarding Mass. recruits, sometimes the grass is greener close to home. If HC can get a $1.10 worth of value for a buck because a kid has grown up in a regional family with the same high regard for Holy Cross that Coach Curran grew up in, I hope they don't overlook it.
Of course I realize the value of national recruiting to a national FCS program, but a kid from Georgia can't really give Holy Cross a hometown discount.

Perhaps our next iteration of offers will identify players from metro Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati.
