chapel's UConn team has signed the #3, #8, and #46 overall players in the country, plus a strong international from Montreal. By my count, which could be wrong, he might have to take two walk-ons.
This is coming off a 29-3 season with a sweet 16 and #7 national ranking.
I'm at a loss to understand what chapel is complaining about here.
The main complaint is that an A+ team should not lose a recruit at a D2 team if they really want them. I am all about realism.
Your assessment about the team is correct. I had a good recruiting period this time, but I could have missed on a couple of the ones I got, and then I would have had 4 walk-ons. I just think that it needs some kind of fix. This is especially true for someone taking over a new team after a job change.
At Illinois, I have 6 players that could go EE and have two openings. It's going to be very difficult if I get hit as hard as I think. And again, going back to realism, if a team has 6 players turn pro, it would be a program that a lot of players would want to come to in real life, and if they started getting calls and letters from the program, and a scholarship was about to be offered, they would not just sign with a D2 team.
