He got demoted at BC because he is not an accurate passer.

61.5% and 18 TDs to 5 Ints. Works for me. He also had 2 rough games in a row is why he was benched.

Castellanos would be the best QB we’ve had since at least Pindell, If we get someone better, great, but if we got him it would be a material upgrade from where we are.

Boston College was so much better after they benched him. Like 10 points a game better without him.

 

[ZooCougar]

Rice is my 2nd favorite team.

I would garrote myself if he signs here.

Good lord. You're a Rice fan what are you waiting for? Just get it over with.

I believe the conversation is who Castellanos would be competing against with the Huskies and if he would be an upgrade there. Not whether or not he was the best option for the beagles. If he was the best option for them he'd likely be more apt to stay there. So it's not relevant that he wasn't their best option. Just what he can/had accomplished and if that would translate to a new team.

I'd rather get a guy who didn't quit when he was benched. Not sure that's a fit for the culture.

Also, I don't think he is as good as he is made out to be.

 

[Purple Stein]

You have to trust your staff, but I'd rather grab someone who has proven he is good at the CUSA/Sunbelt/MAC level than someone at a P-4 school who has decided he hasn't seen a pathway to get on the field. But maybe that's just me.

This 100%. We are still building a bridge to Welliver and we need someone who has had substantial playing time - a step right in guy, not a project. An adequate quarterback who can manage a game is so much more important for this team than someone who is high potential but limited experience. That's who we need to pursue.

Fagnano was not better this year because he is necessarily a better QB than Evers -- it was because JF came into the season with over 1500 career NCAA snaps under his belt and Evers with fewer than five.

That's fair

I trust that Mora will make sure whoever comes in fits culturally. I just want a guy who has had reps at the FBS level.

We all do. I’d even take a really good FCS.

If Ryan Fitzpatrick existed in the portal era he would have been prize for an FBS team.

You also have to give welliver a fair shot eventually to show guys you can come here and have your opportunity

I believe this too. Way to do it IMO is to not annoint the NIL/transfer the starter. Reports in the summer were that Fagnano was killing it in practice but Nick had a much higher ceiling. No need to rehash who appeared to be more ready in games. Just play the best guy regardless of NIL.

Evers needs to significantly improve. He was one of the worst performing QBs in the FBS this year.

FWIW, a lot of folks who cover BC say Castellanos wasn’t a good fit for the new offense. He’d probably fit well into our system.

He would be a good addition for UConn. Would easily be the best QB on the team. The issue is would he be a good fit since he quit on his team.

 

[AllHusky]

Who quit first, BC on him or him on BC? Seems like BC showed him the door.

They benched him and he disappeared.

I would say you are right.

Said that about Evers

 

[Buffett10]

Ever had what 4 snaps in college before he got to Uconn?

This QB has actual playing experience. Evers had not played since high school.

 

[uconnbill]

Evers has talent otherwise he wouldn't have had the offers he did when coming out of high school. He was hurt this year on and off. He needs to improve, no doubt, but we have no idea what he can do if completely healthy. I have hope for him but they would bring in another quarterback like Castellanos or someone else
