Recruiting inside the Big East Conference
Programs in the same conference recruit against each other for the same kinds of players, so a conference is a useful unit for building a target list: if one Big East Conference coach shows interest, its peer programs are often a realistic fit too. Members are spread across 10 states, which shapes travel and where coaches scout. Coaches in one conference tend to attend the same regional showcases and ID camps, which means a strong performance at one event can reach several of these staffs at once. 18 of the 20 programs listed here have a head coach on record in our data.
