I wonder if the new coach honors his verbal commitments? The recruits they've been getting just aren't getting it done. I hope they hire a new coach who is a great talent evaluator.

They are getting a new, really nice, stadium. That will help tremendously with the recruiting. I know UConn keeps trying to get into the ACC, that, along with a new competent coach and the new facility, would be the ticket to greatness for sure.

I hope they keep commitment to Yankee/St. Joe's girl. Definitely a strong player. Don't like seeing a CT kid having to go through process in 11th hour

As for honoring the commitment a gentleman would at least honor the class of 18s commitments but make it clear anything after that is on the table. Of coure not all coaches are gentlemen. I'm sure there are lots of phone calls going on right now. UCONN needs to fill it quick because uncertainty definitely won't help recruiting

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostEvaluating talent is one thing, attracting it is another. A coach has to be part salesman to attract top talent. Right now the school and the soccer program doesn't have the cache to bring in top talent. Some things about the school are also out of his control (Storrs doesn't appeal to every one; the lawsuit doesn't help either. Granted, new coach but the school agreed to booting the player and is being sued). UCONN moving to the ACC would be a bad move. BBall is the only sport they could hope to compete in, "maybe" football. They should stick with where they are so they could hopefully dominate that.

Moving to the ACC with a good coach and a great facility would boost recruiting tremendously. With that woudl come greater success. The weird American conference is a major negative for most recruits. many top players only consider ACC schools. A move to the ACC, new facility and competent coach and UConn would be in the middle ACC tier before three years with a chance at the top by 5. Your comment is based on what they are now. What they could be is a lot more.

things like this - a coach leaving - is why recruiting so early becomes riskier. *hit happens.
the timing isn't ideal but can be done for the right player. certainly other coaches understand the situation
