Loving all these commits. Seems like we’ve really stepped up our portal game. You guys think we’re solid at O line yet though? That’s my only worry right now.

Loving all these commits. Seems like we’ve really stepped up our portal game. You guys think we’re solid at O line yet though? That’s my only worry right now.

That would be my biggest concern. There appears there are four O line high school commits but only one transfer portal commit. Maybe the staff are high on O line players who are on our roster but have not played much yet.

Thanks for all you do. This plus the post ranking UConn's transfer portal standing really make it easy to see how hard the staff has been working to fill so many spots........and how hard you work to put it all together in an easily understood format.
Optimism rules..........at least for me!

“Jones committed to UConn earlier this month. In five years as a Bruin, Jones recorded 611 total receiving yards and five touchdowns. A withdrawal from the portal reflects an athlete returning to their entry institution. When an athlete commits to a program and enrolls, their status shows as matriculated.”
