Skyler reaching out?


Kamoi Latu (safetry) played two years at Utah and two at Wisconsin. Was limited this year due to injury.

Wisconsin veteran safety enters NCAA transfer portal

This story was updated because an earlier version included an inaccuracy. Wisconsin safety Kamo'i Latu entered the transfer portal on Wednesday. He is the 19th Badger to depart since the portal opened on Monday. 17 of those are scholarship

Damn people were right on here he’s not good enough to play here

We weren’t even involved so who cares?

BC improved dramatically when they benched him. 10 more points per game and less turnovers.

Bell seems to really love it here. He actively is recruiting other players. I love it.

I hope that's the case as it would be awesome if our top players made a case for others to come to UConn.

Can‘t wait to see Bell continue to develop here at UConn. Massively talented and will continue to elevate his game here at UConn. If you want to play on Sunday’s, you can do it here.

He didn't fit the scheme O'Brien wanted to run. He has talent and will do well with a coach who uses his talents the right way. Mora seems to prefer a dual threat Qb and Castellanos seemed like a Mora kinda qb. Plus he had lots of experience which would have been a nice change after Roberson and Evers.

Bell is the man on the field. He is a huge reason why Fagnano had such a great year. I fully believe if we see more from him next year he's going to playing on Sundays.

FSU's QB room is depleted. I would expect them to bring in another portal QB.

Need to get that man a QB who is accurate and can throw the ball to him. Not sure we currently have that on the roster right now. Land that QB and Bell's potential is limitless

I hope it’s Cole! Now Bell did drop some decently thrown balls this year.. several… but he also made some NFL All pro catches too… He needs more time and he’ll be a star!

 

[RedStickHusky]

So basically a QB that would never consider us...

Sounds like we can't get the guy who's already been what we want. We need the guy with the best chance of becoming what we want. Much tougher find.

 

[ktuck911]

I also don't want any players with only one year of eligibility left. We're trying to build something long-term, not adding a final piece to put us over the top like some programs.

I beg to differ, respectfully. Those 1 and done LBs we've had in here have served us quite well. Helping bridge the gap on our front 7...

 

[History Geek]

Anyone have an idea who is coming in this weekend for visits?

 

[rich1122]

Only if Nebrich unavailable

Casey Whitmer

 

[Hogoff]

Casey Whitmer

What about Chandler Cochran?

 

[CCSUblue]

Maybe if Aller comes back then Beau Pribula will portal and we can get a good one. That would be an amazing scenario.

Aller is officially back and Pribula in the portal...

This unfortunately did not age well. From being giddy on Thursday (me included) to what he posted for that other Wisconsin player to outright dejection now that he declared this afternoon his intent to enter the portal...maybe we misinterpreted what he meant (i.e., "hit me up, I'll go with you").

The milk has soured for sure. Guess lots of egg on my face here.

No egg mate, your heart was in the right place. Just means we can't go by whatever they post since it can change on a dime.

Doesn't mean he didn't love it. But if he got offered double to go up to a different school... He can still love it here and let people know.

Yeah it sucks, but I mean if he can go to a big name school and put up numbers then he made the right choice both for his present and future as he'll get more exposure. Just the state of UConn right now.

Take your old (UConn) school tie, cut it into small shreds, toss it into the wind, and hope, just hope, that a small piece lands on a portal prospect. The “sheepskin” for many portal transfers means squat.

I am a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist, but let’s dispense with the charade of referring to most football/basketball D1 players as “student-athletes”. Free-agent semi-pros is more accurate.

 

[ZooCougar]

This didn't age well.

Unlike the Durell situation, I think there is still a shot for us. I'm cautiously optimistic.

And for those who the issue is G5 limited and that we need a conference, a bunch of high profile P4 starters are in the portal. It’s a systemic problem independent of conference or level.

Boston College - 12 players
Alabama - 16 players
USC - 19 players
Florida St - 20+ players
UConn - 15 players

Something has to change.

Until it changes I hope we use it to our advantage in every possible way.

Be careful with that UConn number. Out of those 15, one wasn't on the UConn roster last year so I'm not sure why he is on the list, one was injured and didn't play last year, one was honored on Senior Day so it's kind of a surprise he is in the portal, and 7 are walk-ons. Walk-ons used to fade away each year, but now they enter the portal to advertise that they are available.

Quite frankly, I expect bigger portal numbers from the SEC and B1G. There is a higher concentration of 4- and 5- star kids sitting the bench. And they aren't used to that. They want theirs...
