Took me a few to find it:

Mora wasn’t kidding when he said he wanted to add experienced players from the portal.

McDonald should help fill the hole left by Mitchell.

Something Different........UConn Football 2024

Appears that Mora is determined to right the ship, feels like he is beginning to have access to the tools to do it!

On Campus Stadium 2040ish, sooner hopefully. Want to see it before I'm planted.

These signees should make everyone on the roster post spring practice look in the mirror every day to get better.

A consistent complaint from us fans has been the lack of depth to push mediocre performers off the field.

Hopefully these additions will start changing that.

The BOT has already discussed it, benefits not only football but many other varsity sports. I think they get moving on it a lot sooner.

Do you know when this was discussed? Is it online anywhere in the BOT agenda notes?
