It seems as if a good percentage of these 21 offers are from the DMV area, including the last 4.

A huge percentage of Coach's Merrimack players came from that area.
Let's not let NJ slip--so many top Crusader players came from NJ over past few years

Probably won’t be the total # of offers from NJ relative to DMV and MA b/c he’s highly selective but when he goes all in on a kid he’s all in.

First 21 offers by State:
CALIFORNIA -- 1
MARYLAND -- 8
VIRGINIA -- 2
CONNECTICUT -- 3
ILLINOIS -- 1 (Committed to Miami (OH))
DELAWARE -- 1
MASSACHUSETTS -- 3
PENNSYLVANIA -- 1
NEW JERSEY -- 1
No known commitments except as noted.
Interesting that there are no offers in Florida or Texas as yet, but I'm sure that many offers there will follow. There's no fixed timetable regarding offers to recruits in particular states that I've ever been able to see in the past.

Coach Vaganek has not been to Florida yet. He is in New Jersey currently. Expect speed and size from his Florida recruits...... Coaches are out on the road for Spring recruiting - expect offers to follow.

There's no fixed timetable regarding offers to recruits in particular states that I've ever been able to see in the past. Catholic school enrollment has dropped from 2,231,000 in 2007-08 to 1,693.000 in 2023-24 (almost 25 percent) Much of the decrease is disproportionately centered in the New England and Mideast regions (Catholic education association geographic terminology; U.S. is divided into six regions.). Enrollment is more stable or marginally increasing in other regions. A major emphasis in admissions for HC's class of 2028 was geographic outreach to schools in areas that HC had largely ignored in the past. This emphasis will continue.

What does this have to do with football recruiting? I don't care if every recruit comes from the same high school as long as they can play.

(1) It has to with football recruiting because -- as has been posited on Crossports again and again since the beginning of Crossports -- football and basketball are a way to build a national brand for Holy Cross. And a reason to have a national brand is to increase the number of applicants from outside of New England, new York, and New Jersey. (2) And perhaps one ought recruit where the talent is more abundant.

I'll not bring up demographics -- which are heavily weighted against New England -- but I will raise a point that pipelines of future students and future student-athletes are not created in a year or even a bunch of years.
Referencing BC as a case in point, for BC"s class of 2027, 19.7 percent are from MA, 13.3 percent are from CA, FL, and TX, and 9 percent are from the five other New England states. This is a school that 40 years ago had so many students from Boston that they were aggregated by neighborhood, how many from Southie, how many from Dorchester, how many from West Roxbury, how many from Charlestown, etc. It took decades for BC to change the geographic alignments.
IMO, it would be wise to build on the recruiting outreach to states like Fl, GA, TX, CA, because over the next 10-20 years that's where the under 18 population is holding its own, relatively speaking. (After 20 years, there likely will be an exodus from FL and TX as sea levels rise and other climate factors come into play.)

I am all for spreading our recruiting wings out across the country, but I have been disappointed that we don't always do such a good job closer to home. Case in point is my old high school, Christian Brothers Academy, in Syracuse, New York. They have long been a dominant power. They are last year's New York State 3-A champions, undefeated, with players going to lots of strong schools, and no recent Holy Cross recruits or even offers that I am aware of. It used to be much different. www.maxpreps.com/ny/syracuse/christian-brothers-academy-brothers/football/23-24/schedule/
