Message: [QUOTE="Sportsman5, post: 4431983, member: 1005"] I agree that the players had solid rankings coming from high school and that these rankings were good on UConn standards. However, they were mostly players looking for a fresh start after not getting playing time. The next step is to get former 4 and 5 star players from major programs like Alabama and Ohio State that were backups their sophomore year and maybe got 30 tackles or rushed for 500 yards, but are trapped behind future first round picks at their current school and are looking to get starter number of snaps at a place like UConn and receive coaching from a guy like Mora that has tons of NFL experience and can prep them to play in the NFL. Mora has just about as much NFL experience as any college head coach (arguably the most), so he can use that to his advantage in the transfer market. UConn can become a 1-2 year prep program for the NFL for players that aren't the clear number 1 at a school loaded with talent. This could be the niche UConn can create with Mora to be a consistent top 20 ranked program. This strategy also doesn't require a ton of NIL money because these backup players trapped behind future first round picks aren't going to be getting much NIL from major programs because they aren't one of the top 10 players at their school and definitely are not the face of the program. Start with recruiting defensive backs because Mora was a DB coach for 10 years in the NFL and can give them some special attention as a way to draw them into transferring to UConn. [/QUOTE]
