2024 UConn Football Commit - Nick Evers (Flower Mound, Texas)

[WNConn]

it's possible that evers will be good, but i think we need to pump the brakes a bit.

this is the third string quarterback for wisconsin, and a kid who reportedly didn't take the time to learn his playbook and was publicly called out by his OC. remember that we were just as excited when TR committed. Until UConn football proves otherwise, I am deeply skeptical

 

[CL82]

Our problems don’t start and finish with the QB position. But one thing for sure, we are not set-up for a QB that wants to live in the pocket. Our receivers don’t get open and we need a QB who can motor to get things to open up a bit. I like what I am reading about Evers. Roberson may thrive with another team - wish him the best.

Evers is a dual threat guy and that's what we need. Agreed, though, it doesn't matter if you can make all the throws, if your receivers are going to drop them.

We have a Dan Hurley Playbook?

 

[Fishy]

Well, we have a fund to help UConn buy a QB. I've included the link so you can donate. Just instruct them to use your donation to buy a top QB.

Yeah, no, we need to cheat.

When UConn wins a bowl game this season under Mora's and Evers' leadership, we can all be proud! Go Huskies!

No.

I'm not trying to take this out on you, but you're probably the 4th or 5th person I've seen that has asked to "pump our brakes". The answer is no.

This is a fan base. If we can't get excited about the future, then what the hell is the point of all this?? What's the point of being part of a fan board? What's the point of following recruiting? Just watch the results on the ESPN ticker after the game is over???

No...

 

[UConnJim]

Yeah, no, we need to cheat.

Cheating is now legal! You can pay a player whatever you can. Pay up!

I don't know anything about Evers but I do know we need a QB who can get the ball out quicker to open receivers. And also make the decision to run on RPOs vs always handing off. I saw hesitancy to throw in the Spring game from returning experienced QBs. Welliver did not look scared to throw. Being so young his running ability will need some time. Glad we have a new option for this season.

Wow, I am glad we have a dual threat QB but I don’t think he has the resume to be an automatic starter this Fall. We’ve seen this play before haven’t we?

Last year I saw some Frosh QB’s tearing it up in D1.

Why can’t that be Welliver? I want him to have a legitimate shot to start.

Please let us not anoint anyone just yet no matter how excited we are - Let the best man win the position.

No, we’re cheating.

We’re just not sure what’s illegal right now. Once we figure it out, we’re going to do it in spades. Not stopping til the compliance people are throwing themselves out their office windows.

 

[huskidork]

this schedule, these transfers? these recruits? some talent we have now? I'm excited I think Nick will be good I hope he is, lets go UConn

 

[CL82]

No, we’re cheating.

Lol, the compliance people now have the easiest jobs in the world....

Coach Mora: "A booster just came by and dropped off bags of cash for the players. We good?"

Compliance guy: [not looking up from his phone] "Sure, whatever..."

(I think the only possible alternative to cheat left would be serving a bagel with cream cheese as a snack.)

 

[Windham4th]

What needs to be asked is, why is the a town called "Flower Mound"?

 

[Dove]

"Okay, somewhere in here is that 3-year quarterback plan. Just where is it..."

Why can’t McDonald start?

 

[NEforceUConn]

I just want our first play to be a 60 yard flag to our fastest receiver, after our QB looks off the safety to the near side of the field.

I was actually wondering a while ago what they even do these days - they probably just send memos about gambling apps every few days or so.

 

[uconnric]

lol…I think I might be getting over it.

I was excited to see the Evers’ news, but then I remembered that I was excited to see the Roberson news when he transferred in….but now he’s gone and I have to somehow convince myself that a guy who has thrown one pass in three years is the answer because he’s been committed to Florida, Oklahoma and Wisconsin in the past.

And my head says that we’ll name a starter, find out after two or three games that the starter should not have been the starter, so we will name a new starter and then spend the rest of the season climbing out of holes.

It’s simply amazing how hard UConn makes this in an age where directional nowheres have no problems finding starting quarterbacks.

Roberson would have been a terrific qb for us before getting injured in the Utah State game. He wasn't 100% last year after the knee injury.

Only to be brought back for a 15-yard holding penalty.

Glass is half full my friend. Believe.

The kinds of things we did to get Evers (which everyone who wants to compete should be doing now) would get schools the death penalty not too long ago.

Thank you Tennessee.

 

[AllHusky]

He can

We killed a guy?

I don’t know anything.

No...

At least they are trying and investing. I hope they see some success.

 

[Greedo]

I read a post on reddit from 2 years ago that said when he was going to Oklahoma he donated100% of his first NIL deal to Make a Wish. Sounds like a good kid too.

Until we land a player using six mail order bribes and an elephant to ride around campus, we’re not doing enough.

“I was going to go to Alabama because they offered me a Camaro and then UConn showed up with a harem and gave me this elephant.”

Agree. Would have been interested to see how he handled the new WR Corp. But ….

 

[UCan3]

Why can’t McDonald start?

Yes him too - im relieved that this happened- should be good for Uconn and T'quan

 

[rich1122]

It’s a product of needing to win now. Old system QB’s RS and then compete to win job.

Now they bring in a Grad Transfer ahead of you,so you never work your way in. You’re probably not able to prove in a game. Gotta use Portal .

I’m comfortable with this Transfer. Hopefully works out for both sides.

Good luck.
