What role should UConn play when a top recruit is an NCAA non-qualifier and has to attend a juco or prep. Spoke to an Asst. coach from Temple yesterday about a specific recruit. His response was "his offer is still in the envelope waiting for him to sign it". Same recruit no longer hears from UConn while other schools are stepping in. Doors close while others seem to open, but who is right?
This is a question for conference level administration. Individual university admission standards, vary from school to school, but within a conference, that's what you're looking at.
It's a question I've pointed out here somewhere along the way. The recruiting practices among the member institutions of the Big East moving forward, absolutely must be visited and put into written form, sooner than later, I think I was talking about this when the AD's and such were meeting in Texas earlier this month.
Frankly, I'd like to see a little more leeway with recruiting in the future, than what was allowed in the past at the conference level. Not only the issue of partial qualifiers, but partial scholarships as well.
