SMU has 3, not 30. Those numbers are insanely off.
I guess he took on the mob without reasonable facts, then...

My point being, it seems like the Diaco guys would be happy if he were still coach even though he was lousy.. did they ever intend on winning anything? Seems like they were content with going 2-10 indefinitely as long as the coach was 'cool' and now that he's not 'cool' they have a problem with the 'culture'.. rubs me the wrong way even though I'm not ecstatic about Edsall either.
Take those numbers with a mountain of salt... they appear to be VASTLY overstated.If you're going to take on the mob with reasonable facts, good luck. On a board where multiple posters had no problem deciding without any evidence whatsoever that a 20 year old basketball player was a criminal a few nights ago. (And, by the way, they didn't even find it relevant to apologize when it became clear he wasn't.)
Non-starters transfer to get on the field. Players who graduate transfer for whatever reason they feel like. Fire Edsall because he hasn't performed well enough -- his performance the last three years certainly hasn't been worthy of anyone defending him -- but if you're going to fire someone for players entering the portal without even knowing what the average is for different types of programs, let's just give up.
“we have to keep Edsall to prevent turnover!”
It seemed like he had given up. Which is weird considering how much he had to lose. He just hurt himself with his poor play.We can argue over who was responsible, but Summers was pretty bad his senior year. I particularly remember the Syracuse game during he was beaten repeatedly in key passing situations.
True, but they may not be after the bowl games are over. Last year Penn State had over 20 file and Michigan had nearly as many. If I had any confidence that Edsall could (or would) bring in many of those guys that were 2nd or 3rd team in top 20 programs, I wouldn't feel so miserable today.Take those numbers with a mountain of salt... they appear to be VASTLY overstated.
Yes, but i thought we were talking facts and not hypotheticals.True, but they may not be after the bowl games are over. Last year Penn State had over 20 file and Michigan had nearly as many.

It's worse, they are losing their worst guys, we are losing our best players.True, but they may not be after the bowl games are over.

He went from 1 of the best CB in the country (sophomore season) to one of the worst in his junior/senior year.. stats/analytics back it up. His play fell off a year before Edsall took over.. now he wants to lay it on RE and the 'culture' like no, you just started playing half azzed thinking you could live off of your tremendous Soph yr until the Draft. Cut the crap.
I agreed that it was factually wrong. I was just pointing out that teams, even good ones, do have large numbers of potential transfers in the portal once their season is over. Furthermore, I was a little depressed because I don't think that will help us under RE.Yes, but i thought we were talking facts and not hypotheticals.

I think getting out of dodge shows how much they want to win. That certainly wasn’t happening here.
The only guys in the portal that aren't graduating and might have contributed are:
Robert Holmes
Stanley Hubbard
That's it. That's the list you guy are melting over?
Thank you for your interest in UConn Football. My lord.
Well its a little more than that. We are on pace to be "developmental" program thats doesn't have 5th year seniors, and isn't close to having 85 scholarship players. All this while we are going into year 4 of REstored. REject is more like it.The only guys in the portal that aren't graduating and might have contributed are:

That was his junior year. He played poorly his last two years after having a great sophomore year.We can argue over who was responsible, but Summers was pretty bad his senior year. I particularly remember the Syracuse game during he was beaten repeatedly in key passing situations.
