    Seth and Gameli have changed Jakes recruiting. I think we will see more swing big initially and then fall back into local kids rather than start at local kids that might go elsewhere and then fall back into the uber local kids. If it hits it hits. If it doesn’t we get kids we would normally. Nothing lost with these offers, everything to gain.

    big fan of the change.

    Add him to the Offered list on page 1.
    This is certainly an interesting list.

    Absolutely. Every successful transfer we've ever had, we recruited out of high school and had a relationship with. I also think Jake is willing to take a kid like this that's ready to be a contributor in the Valley immediately knowing that we may not hold him for all 4 years.

    Would not surprise me at all if we see more offers like this in the future.

    I'm sure that's at least a consideration. Look at guys like Washpun and Jesperson. Even guys like Berhow and Hutson - they weren't at a P5, but we still recruited them out of high school. The portal is a while different world than it was back then. I think we NEED to think long game with almost any potential recruits. We haven't had a ton of transfers, but it seems like most (especially those who have a major impact) we recruited out of high school.

    Might as well shoot for the moon with that one '24 ride. I'm sure most of the focus right now is on '25, there is a ton of work to be done in that class with what we're losing and will have open.

    So it feels like there's some uncertainty about Corbat following the family legacy if we are still throwing out offers.

    Shoot your shot, I guess. We only got one offer for that year, might as well make it a good one.

    We offered a 6'8" forward from NJ Matthew Hodge today. Strangest offer we have ever made, especially since he's already got multiple P5 offers including Penn State and Maryland

    I feel like it really depends on the kid. Some kids like to commit before their senior year, so they do it right before basketball season, and others like to wait and see if they can really blow up on the recruiting trail. I feel like most of these kids have potential to really blow up, so I'd be surprised if any committed early.

    Gotta think that recruiting these guys with existing P6 offers have the long term transfer possibility in mind, ala Washpun, Jesperson and now Hutson. Not that we think there's zero possibility they sign with UNI out of HS but the chances are minimal.

    Unfortunately it does create the difficulty in having to "over recruit" to ensure you're able to replace what may be potentially lost.

    Though transfers were not uncommon in the past, either, hopefully we can remain 85-90% of the roster intact YoY. Though playing time could be sporadic for some and I could see a couple players taking opportunities next year as well.

    It does make it hard to recruit when at this current moment it does appear there are no scholarships that can be guaranteed to new recruits.

    There's no such thing as out of scholarships in the portal/NIL world....

    No additional offers for 2023 that I’m aware of. I could be wrong, but didn’t we have 1 open spot for 2024 before Hutson committed? And he will still be around in 2024, right? If that is all true, it seems like we’re out of scholarships for this class.
