Chief will but the staff won’t. The days of if he doesn’t want to be here, we don’t want him - are over. The staff is going full out to convince people - they want to be here. It is now the place to be. Full pedal to the metal.
It’s all good the way we are recruiting and failure actually created the opportunity that we have now have. But, selectively playing with the dates to not count 20 transfers is a silly recreation of history. What happened, happened and a plan is in place to capitalize on it. It’s all turned out good.
Read this now because I know your a protected citizen on the board who gets special treatment (ie posts challenging you are routinely deleted). You attacked this program last fall and said not playing would lead to transfers and recruiting challenges going forward. Just like the 11:11 game thing you were wrong. I didn't really care about your faux insider miss on this subject until you jumped in here a couple days ago with total nonsense trying to attribute Randy's recent recruiting success to learning from the MBB program and vainly suggesting you had influenced the matter.
Ahh, yep I knew we had this conversation once before. Back on 9/30/20 a certain someone said "just about everyone wants out" and then what, three more guys left after that moment....well short of anything close to "everyone" by any stretch of the imagination. And I know one of those three was basically an academic casualty...barely attended classes that semester.
Yep, some said the sky is falling....and it wasn't.
Transfer portal - outbound
You didn’t answer my question. Are you saying as a matter of fact that the recent kids who’ve entered the portal- Paul, King and Magliozzi- have done so because UConn opted out of playing this season and aren’t making plans to return while everyone else is returning to play. Is that what you’re...

2019 has nothing to do with anything. In 2019 I don't recall you being upset about Randy letting his Diaco kids go. The roster turnover was needed. You were sour on this program last fall, that is clear in the transfer thread linked above.Boom - Article about the 20 who left after 2019 season and I see you distorted my comments about the pandemic. I did not say guys would transfer, I said guys wanted out which was the sentiment from actually conversations - guys stayed for a whole lot of practical reasons despite their sentiment - after the drain of players - there was playing time available at many positions, some were advancing along in their majors and others had family or friendships etc.
Nearly 20 UConn football players plan to transfer from the program. Here’s what to know about them.
UConn football continues to lose players. Running back Dante Black and receivers Zavier Scott and Quayvon Skanes announced this week that they plan to transfer from the program, making 19 scholarsh…
My take- players from every school leave for a host of reasons that aren’t known to the public. When it’s self induced, teams don’t normally bury a kid in the media and just let it ride. What I also know is that some players leave, not because they’re sour on the program, but because they see the writing on the wall- Coaches deciding to move in a different direction and bring in their own players. Whether that is right, wrong, prudent or not is another debate- bottom line is coaches have the right to color their program as they see fit.Boom - Article about the 20 who left after 2019 season and I see you distorted my comments about the pandemic. I did not say guys would transfer, I said guys wanted out which was the sentiment from actual conversations. I said “some, of course don’t have other options”. And we “just had 20 guys transfer out”. So you were very deceptive in your false categorization. I said then what I am saying now.

He has a lot of nasty in him.
