Wow…Honig is quite impressive. Lot’s of positve energy…and it’s obvious he loves the program. TE group is going to be a strength this year. It’s interesting to hear how important the return of Fagnano was to the skill players sticking around. Fagnano having an extra year of eligibility may...

They are in the also receiving votes in the coaches poll. Of course the coaches poll is worthless.

True…but you gotta be impressed a 90yo can do a Cameo.

I am amazed he didn’t do his “playoff riff” when he was asked this question…lol. As an aside..the guy’s looking pretty good for 90!

Well that’s rather vague.

Is it worth trading away a fairly high prospect for a #3 starter? Will a # 3 starter really help this team? With Judge out 10 days at least…and this team playing poorly WITH Judge, to me it feels like another lost season and it’s probably not worth giving up prospects to hope you can get a...

Yeah…dislocated toe. Glad to hear is isn’t too bad…but it’s not great he is missing camp and valuable reps. So…now he will start the season behind the 8 ball…with an excuse as to why he will struggle. Regarding Manning being a top pick. I need to see him play a little before that is a...

Thanks for posting. The was a better analysis of the team than I have seen anywhere…including UConn media. My only quibble was calling Mora “Mora Jr”. I guess I missed this change with the coaches? I would assume (hope) Sammis would still be deeply involved with the OL “Christian Pace will...

I like what the new regime is doing. Signing Wilson and Sauce to long term extensions is exactly what needed to happen before camp. No contract distractions for two of their best players. And…these are high character guys…the kind you want as the cornerstone of the franchise. In general…I...

Yeah…it’s 106 in Vegas today…I am good with fall coming sooner rather than later.

Charles Barkley has a rep for being pretty affable. I have a friend who ended up chatting with him at a bar..and he invited my friend to join him and his other friends to bar hop that night. Of course he picked up all the tabs…and cut all the lines. I guess if you were someone waiting in...

Now that I think about it…it’s crazy that one school has 3 viable candidates for worst coaching hires of the 21st century…lol.

That makes sense….I just feel that when he left the program, UConn was still in decent shape. Diaco and RE2 left a disaster.

I remember talking to an avid ND fan after the Diaco hire…and he said..”i don’t know how that dude is going to do as a head coach..he is a little crazy”. I know on paper Diaco looked like a good hire…but there was definitely evidence that hiring him was a risk.

In Hindsight…I would say RE2 was the worst of the 3. He left the program in horrific shape. What Mora has done is a a borderline miracle. PP actually recruited decent and left Diaco some players to work with. Enough to make a bowl. But he couldn’t build off of it..and his ineptitude did him...
