I believe it is the quality of the recruits more than the quantity of offers that matters most.

Some Memorial Day weekend trivia: Cardinal Hayes is home to hoopsters Geo Sanchez, Gene Doyle and Hall of Famers Timmy Shea ( George Blaney’s backcourt partner) and NCAA champ Dermie O’Connell, who also played two seasons in the NBA for the Celtics and the St. Louis Bombers.(??). As a soph he was second high scorer in the Championship game with 15 to fellow New Yorker MOP George Kaftan. Hayes is located in the Bronx on the Grand Concourse very near Y…..Stadium.

There were 65 offers at this point last year and over 100 at this point the previous year. I agree the offers to date are low despite the fact that this class will be only 16/17 scholi players vs last year’s (incoming frosh) of 21 and 2023s (current soph class) of 26. Usually, the standard close rate has been ~10% for most team’s first wave of offers to July 1st so one or multiple things are occurring: 1) This staff is taking a much more rifled approach to offers (fewer reaches) and feels very confident their close rate will be well north of 10%. 2) We are missing some offers since X under Musk has become a cesspool of garbage misinformation and the new algorithm is terrible. In past years, any time an offer was made it would be one of the first 5 items in my time line, DHarry and I have only luckily seen several this cycle days after. 3) With the calendar moving up (first OV weekend coming in June), the staff is trying to nail down this first weekend from the current board and once they know where they stand, a second tranche of ~20-30 offers will come in June.

Will kids delay visits and commitments in this new money world No, kids are committing. And with the P4 PWO on life support with what looks to be coming, kids at this level (FCS, G5, P4 PWO) could want to lock down limited spots even faster.

If I had multiple offers as of now as a rising Junior, I would absolutely hold out. With the cash that's going to be flying around locking in early without any senior film is foolish. Now thats a different ball game if your a 4-5 star but we aren't targeting those kids. All this stuff isn't going to matter to the average FCS program, some of the premier MVC teams may be different, but 3 stars is best that they will shoot for. Covid is over thus those 6th years are gone and the big programs will again scoop up most of the 3 stars and above.
Best thing we can do is shoot our shot to as many kids as possible hoping a few fall this way...

Wondering if the Bryant approach is what we have in the future
Make 200 plus offers shooting the moon
Take those that really want Holy Cross before the season begins ( say15%) and then fill the remainder of open spots that don't get what they want before Christmas (60%) and then grab the remaining players from the portal and the pool of unsigned high school players in February

Another HC fan had hypothesized the same thing very recently. Could FBS schools start non-renewing schollies of existing players to accelerate cost-cutting? I don't follow the money posts so this may already have been addressed.
