Good read/review from Aman Kidsai @ UConn Football Forum:

Optimism brewing as UConn opens preseason camp

With one month until the season opener, Jim Mora's Huskies have a lot to build on as they look to improve on last year's success.

Curb you enthusiasm. Remember every August feels this way.

I didn't feel this way for the last few years. Something just feels different this year.

Listen to what coaches say for your entertainment, not for truth.

That having been said, most Augusts we are not looking at such a large number of starters returning.

I hate to be that guy...but I would feel better if it was the offense clicking on all cylinders.

typically you can tell whether it’s a great defensive performance or a poor offensive performance. hopefully evan is being truthful!

The coaches completely control who comes out on top every day in practice. That comes directly from Bill Parcells. It all depends what the coaches want them working on and what the want the coaches want to accomplish for the day. They can dictate that the offense or defense looks better.

That’s Jackson Harper according to the roster. Me likey.

Love everyone’s optimism but statistically we have about a 10% chance of winning right now. We are about a 16 point dog, hence the 10% chance of winning outright (based on the college football stats I could find).

Oh yee of little faith. Many said the same about the bowl vs SC and ND, Baylor, Liberty etc. Let's bring the noise for the boys and send NCST on a sad ride home.

Been a ticket holder since 60’s This August definitely feels very different than any of those post OBE years. You can curb the enthusiasm in nearly every sport with every team - nobody knows what injuries etc will come into play. What HCJM has instilled and brought on board is enough to get a bit giddy about the upcoming season. Unlike MBB and WBB where expectations are almost always high - football is feeling a new sensation.

Cam looked very good in the spring event. Hope he makes the most of his opportunities this year.

Brayden Zermeno is no longer on the roster, and the outside link brings up a 404 error on the website.

There are some other new names on the roster. I wonder how this works, best we know we are already over the 85 man scholarship. Maybe dudes are here for fall camp after which everyone decides what is best.

Senior transfer from CT by way of Eastern Michigan.

Jaavon Brown - Football - University of Connecticut Athletics
