And, there are kids who enter the portal because they are told to for a variety of reasons. You almost never see a kid dismissed for academic or disciplinary reasons anymore. They enter the portal.

Not a great analogy, but it’s a bit like MBB kids getting opinions on draft stock before declaring. It’s a free look at your worth

You could get a really good HS kid who plays for UConn and becomes the best star QB we ever had, Guess what - he's not sticking around for 3 years! That is just it. We are not a P4 conference. He gets an offer to play with them. He is gone! I agree we need multiple QB's and I am not worried who is the best or the worst. It is not my job to weigh in on how this may or may not look. Pull up the BIG Boy Pants and let the best kid get the job. No one and I mean NO ONE deserves anything in this life. Fight for it - Get the passion for it. keep it! And I am so glad I don't have the coaching job. I prefer being on my PC with my keyboard and thinking - none of what I do here will have any affect on any decision making for UConn Football. That means I can be a fan and put my trust in Coach Mora as I have done since he got here!

You need players that are committed to UConn as a program. The school and team ethos is a thing of past generations when kids were raised on the idea that loyalty and pride in a program mattered. All about money.

Do we know that Welliver was even in the mix for this season or if he & coaches decided to retain redshirt and only throw him in a few meaningless spots. Mora might, just might, have a plan for the kid. We definitely didn't need "deer in the headlights" from the QB position this year, even though it did happen to the other guys on occasion...

Frankly, I think he was just red shirted. McDonald I think was ahead of him but obviously not ahead of the transfers.
