Anyone have a feel for what % of our recruits are choosing UC over other highly performing power programs?

Difficult to say at this point. The 2025 sample size is way too small.

I think we need (both basketball & football) at least one really impactful recruit to move the programs further and while they can definitely occur with 3 *’s being coached up, I don’t have the faith right now in the ability of either coaching staff to take 3* talent and make them into a game changer. I don’t know Kolin Wilson at all, but the offers I see we competed with are MAC-ish. I definitely can’t claim to remember all our recruits offers, but it feels like 1/2 to 2/3 of the time the competing offers aren’t at the level I think UC’s been consistently at for the last 20 years. Maybe it’s NIL? I surely don’t know. I just feel like there’s more New Mexicos, Toledos, UConns that I thought we’d be competing with.
