[69MG]

It looks like he's a PWO so we still have 4 spots open.

UMass adds 2024 F John Brigham, 6-10. Dexter Southfield (MA).

High academic prospect, agressive post & glass presence. Will be a PWO, per source.

I really like this, then. Nothing but upside. And makes in-state coaches happy with the staff. Continues to show that this staff will give those kids a chance. Like Rollie.

It's interesting that a bunch of guys followed by @NEPrepBB committed in the last day or two, including one to St. Louis. It appears that they were waiting to see what came their way, but decided to go all at once. One each to UMass, St. Louis, Assumption, Western Washington, Arkansas State, Lake Forest, Fairfield, Siena, and so forth.

Preferred walk-on

Over 1,800 players have entered the transfer portal and we can't get a single guy?

[umiejoe]

Of course not! We don't have the kind of money to throw at them to even give us a sniff.

Yup, it will be tough for programs like Umass going forward.

[NilesGold]

Just like UMass couldn't compete with P6s before NIL, they can't now. Frank needs to figure out a strategy with the resources that he does have, it's why he gets paid $1.7M a year.

I think the strategy is ... Go to the MAC and kick ass. Step down to rise up. No big secret here.

[Floyd]

^ can barely keep kids here now, why would they want to come play in the MAC? Kids playing for a coach or a school is fading. It's all about the $$ now

[SignMan]

Very concerned we can't pass the smell test.

That's not a recruiting strategy.

[TheInsider]

Is there any such thing as a recruiting strategy anymore other than have more NIL $$ than other teams in your conference?? So going to the MAC with a bigger NIL and kicking ass is actually a strategy

[Juice Stand]

^Correct. If you want to believe what Bamford said during the MAC presser, we are significantly ahead of most, if not all, MAC teams in NIL. If you subscribe to the NIL or bust strategy, we should be a conference leader.
