While there is (finally) a slow down for UMass commits, take a look at who is dominating the state of Connecticut thus far for 2013...

Hint: It's NOT the state university down there.

Looks like we are right on par... I'd like to see where Rutgers is at as well.

although getting a 4 star would be great, we are probably 3 yrs away from that happening

Understand the thought process.......but as a new program that doesn't get 4 star players the evaluators will be less likely to upgrade a 2 or 3 to a 4 because of where they are going. They have long term relationships with established schools and won't want to ruffle feathers and cause problems for schools that "lose" 4 star recruits to a new program.
Opt for anything from Wandering Star Craft Brewery in Pittsfield.

The way I envision it I'm thinking it will be one of these kids who we have been on for months that hasn't verbally committed yet. A great senior year and ratings upgrade but since we've been on him for so long we get him come signing day.

"Seems like UMass is getting more commits than BC and they are owning the in-state battle as well"

I LOVE IT!
