He has been interacting with many UConn fans and has liked things about UConn basketball games

So he is not signing in the early signing window

So he is not signing in the early signing window

Transfers Portal players do not sign NLI so they are not bound by the early signing window dates (12/20>12/22). They just need to be in the portal by the required deadline (12/4/23 > 1/2/24)

which pretty much means they can get flipped to other schools until they actually arrive on campus... Am I correct?

They can still flip even when they’re at another school

They do not sign NLI, they sign NIL!

Sure if you want to live in the doom and gloom underworld.

Let’s not kids ourselves - even if a player signs an NLI and changes their mind - the current environment won’t stop them from getting out of the NLI either and heading elsewhere. Is what it is.

 

[ktuck911]

I still don't get it though.. UConn is so much more attractive for portal guys who probably have a legitimate opportunity to START (Day 1), showcase their talents if they truly have aspirations to play Pro ball...

Sounds right. We had a transfer RB from Arkansas commit before switching his commitment to South Carolina a few years back.

Any struggling school can make this claim. We have been down bad for too long in FB. Gotta keep building. Despite the tough year i think their still on the right track. We would have lost to UMass and squeaked past SHU not long ago.
