How could UMass possibly deceive enough good players to rank ahead of us early or late?

They have a 247 “reporter” / cheerleader… and we don’t.

Gonna laugh hard when 247 has to finally give this program respect when we get the b12 invite.
The 247 reporter has zero to do with the team rankings. It is simply a mathematical formula that averages all the rankings of all the services. If you notice last year, UMass was ranked like 125 in the Team Rankings even though 247 had them ranked mid 60s.

Given that, the rankings that teams are now is most likely going to be nowhere near where they end up in the final rankings.

We've joked about "commitable offers" - but its really a thing and really how the process works. Programs offer kids to put them on their radar and show respect.....but they cannot possible honor all the offers and so often when the offer is made the kid is told where they are on the depth chart for that offer.

Yup… and “kids”/market will adjust and use programs as placeholders. Program/staff resources are needed to continue to recruits even “committed” kids 24/7/365.

is it normal to have a lull in commitments over the summer?
Thinking it will even be more common now in the Transfer Portal environment:

For 2019 Class - UConn had 5 commits at this point in the calendar.

For 2020 Class - UConn had 9 commits at this point in the calendar.

For 2021 Class - UConn had 8 commits at this point in the calendar.

For 2022 Class - UConn had 3 commits at this point in the calendar.

For 2023 Class - UConn had 11 commits at this point in the calendar.

For 2024 Class - UConn has 9 commits at this point in the calendar.
