2023 Fall Camp

IIRC hasn't there been talk that we mat see Haynes moved from G to C? Makes a ton of sense. Goal us always to have the best 5 up front.
Personally, I'm looking fwd to seeing some other OL push to crack the starting 5. We've got tons of beef on the depth chart now, some which are problem not just bigger, but more talented. If they can break through, without us falling up front too much, we should be even better at the midway point and back end of our season because of it
 
Any noise from either the big ugly we got from ‘Bama or the one who left Michigan? I was hoping to hear that they were starting to show this year, even if they don’t crack the starting OL.

So from Camp, if Haynes goes to center, Fortin moves to guard. If Haynes is a guard then either fortin/Walker at center. My guess is the staff wants one of the two guys fortin/Walker to solidify that center position. If they both can’t do it, then we see Haynes at center.

Haynes specifically called out Dayne Shor as a guy who has stepped up in practice. He's a redshirt sophomore so he is probably a little further along physically as well. He is probably competing for guard.

I do know that, but just relaying what was told to me.

Though he is a redshirt sophomore, this will only be his second academic year in college. Spring 2022 he joined Alabama, and then transferred, which caused him to lose a year of eligibility, but since he didn’t play he just gets it back as a redshirt.

I'm more along the lines of if Haynes plays center, Murawski moves to guard. I haven't seen or heard anything of Walker. He still seems light and small but if he's a powerhouse like Mo Petrus was, put him in there and see what he can do.
 
If you believe in signs that UConn's luck has turned for the better, look no further than the weather. Football weather right on cue.
 


-> Mora emphasized that the quarterbacks are in an open competition. “It’s anything but clear-cut,” he said. “It’s a very healthy competition.”

-After watching Maine transfer Joseph Fagnano in the first open practice, it’s clear he has a big arm and the ability to push Ta’Quan Roberson, last year’s opening-day starter who transferred over from Penn State, and Zion Turner, the Florida product who started 12 games as a true freshman. Whoever ends up the backup will also have pressure from a talented third-stringer.“You’d love it to be clear-cut. Hopefully as we go through the next two to three weeks it gets more defined for us,” Mora said. <-

-> Four starters return on the offensive line, which was one of the most impressive turnaround jobs last year, going from struggling to competent in 2022. This group includes All-American guard Christian Haynes. “We brung back a lot of guys, and I feel like we’re very comfortable with each other,” Haynes said. “Anybody can be that fifth guy, there’s going to be a lot of competition [for the fifth spot].” He added that among the younger guys, Alabama transfer Dayne Shor has been impressive early. “He’s been really improved from spring to now.” <-

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.
 
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.

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.
