I believe there could be a signal from Coach Brower this morning. Gab is no longer with HC. Not sure of plans/timing to replace her.

What is this post about (regarding 2025 football commits)?

I believe we have our first commit for the 2025 class. Was that unclear? Gab was the one that usually signaled a new commit last cycle but since she’s gone it will likely be coaches for now.

Thanks for the explanation. It was "Gab" that threw me as well.

Geez, that was a Burns and Allen routine, but I can see what happened. Thanks for the important update, 05. Do you anticipate we'll see any public updates (player confirmations) prior to at least the end of month OV's?

Gab Gervais graduated from Merrimack in 2023 where she was a student football manager and then a student assistant coach her last spring there. Followed Curran to HC.

Do you anticipate we'll see any public updates (player confirmations) prior to at least the end of month OV's? Yes, I do. I think you could see 4-6 commits by the end of the OV weekend or shortly after. Keep in mind recruiting Dead Period is June 24-July 24th. Basically means recruits can contact coaches, but coaches can't contact recruits. Zero in person meetings. Coaches can respond to recruits calls/texts - e.g., taking a call from a recruit who's committing to HC. The staff is definitely trying to get stuff done (commitments) over the next 3 weeks.

Thank you both. Between recruiting and summer camps it will keep things interesting for many.

I'm gonna need Coach Brower (or really any in the program) to step up with a much easier to track signal.
Gabs were super easy to figure out, as were Coach James's. Coach Brower's could easily be read as just a motivational quote which he also likes to post a fair bit

x.com/Vinferrara91/status/1798457619192914315Commit #1 Vin Ferrara DT 6’1 275 St. Joseph Regional out of NJ Tough DT that plays with great leverage, has excellent hand work and solid bend. Will be a 2 year captain at SJR. Also high motor from a great program that’s produced Frankie Monte, Terrence Spence and Pat McMurtie in recent years. I’d say pretty good hit rate there. Go figure first commit is from BV’s NJ dirt.

Go figure first commit is from BV’s NJ dirt. from video he looks more mobile than the two from last class, also lighter and maybe taller? As you said he uses his hands and his feet well. He seems to be a really good recruit to start things off. Also plays in the NJ Super conference.

Jordan Prichard-Sewell from last year’s class (freshman this season) is the best DT prospect I’ve seen on film for HC probably this century.

Yes, I meant our two IDL's in the rising soph class. Pritchard-Sewell is totally different. He is the quickest middle line rusher I can remember at HC. And i mean rusher, he's like a blitzing interior lineman. Hyperbolic, but he can create a pass rush from the inside or grab a RB right after a handoff. Vin looks like he can move laterally up and down the line holding position as he reacts. Some IDL's strike me as more stuffer tyoes if you try to run near them.

Sounds exactly like the great Glenn Grieco,(RIP) ‘68. HC Hall of Fame. I witnessed him do both those feats in the 6-3-1 1966 season.(wins at BC.and at home vs Dartmouth, breaking their nation leasing win streak.When Ivies were competitive with the best. Glenn was dominant in both those games, as well as most of the others. On one play he was so quick to the QB, Glenn took the handoff intended for the RB.)

I remember almost every game (and most plays) I saw him in. What a talent!

Immovable in the middle. I didn't remember him as much as a pass rusher from the middle. I don't want to sidetrack the current commits thread but how tall was Glenn? I didn't think he was 6'?

I think he was around 6’. He played at St. Peter’s Prep in Jersey City.

I think he was around 6’. He played at St. Peter’s Prep in Jersey City. Glenn was injured early in the '66 Syracuse game. According to our 5'11 190 SS, the backup was shorter than Glenn... but '6'5 from the waist up'. The rest of the afternoon they had to contend with Larry Csonka & Floyd Little without Glenn.

I always like to check to see what other offers our Commits receive. I view the comparative analysis as a form of Market Analysis and Indicators and where HC stands in the College and University FB marketplace. It is an imperfect science but I like following this form of science and believe we learn a lot in the process.
On that note, in regard Mr. Vin Ferrara of Saint Joe's (Montvale), we learn of other Offers received from his account at X: x.com/Vinferrara91
January 15, 2024: Marshall University, Sun Belt Conference (FBS, Group of 5)
January 19, 2024: University of Akron, Mid-American Conference (MAC) (FBS, Group of 5)
February 22, 2024: Lehigh University, Patriot League (FCS)
March 4, 2024: West Virginia University, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) (FBS, Power 5)
May 25, 2024: College of the Holy Cross
June 4, 2024: Stonehill College, Northeast Conference (FCS)
If we disregard the data points that lie at the extremes, this initial Commitment to our Class of 2025 strikes me as a strong one in which we land a future Crusader student-athlete at a position always in strong demand and in need of real talent. Additionally, it is also always nice to extract top flight prospects from the Big North Conference in NJ as well.
Plus my wife is Italian and from this neck of the woods so that is an added benefit.
LET'S WIN!!

The timing sequence of these offers and his commitment to Holy Cross is kind of interesting.
