Seems like it. I wonder if some of these “raw projections” they took (in part) on local coaches recommendations to build/establish relationships. I only say this because the turn around finding/evaluating/recruiting/offering some of these under the radar NE guys seems quick/impressive. The staff did not hesitate pulling the trigger on these guys. I mean obviously they have a certain player profile and I’m sure Fran and Co. have had their finger on the pulse but just thinking out loud.

I also wonder if taking these guys early helps create momentum and excitement for the class and potential recruits (“look at us! Everyone’s trying to come here”) which they then use as leverage to land more “blue chip” players. Because frankly, some of these guys don’t scream “Get these guys committed early!!!” Some of these “raw athletes” seem like the kind of guys you take fliers on later, after you miss on bigger targets… but the opposite approach seems genius. Plus, if the staff likes them, why wait?

Class fills up quick = buzz/excitement created = Limited space = FOMO = better hop in buddy!
