2025 UConn Football Commit - Caleb Burton III (Austin, Texas)

Welcome to the Pound, Caleb!

Hugs pickup for us. Now we just need a QB that can throw to him and Bell next year. I am still hoping we land a portal QB just in case our current QBs can't execute.

I'd like to believe a QB solution is in place which lured Bell back to the team and getting P4 WR transfers in to the program.

Huge get! Lose one to Auburn, get one back!

Trading punches with Auburn…yeah, we’re in the game. Take notice.

You'd think so. I hope that guy is Welliver but we really need to bring someone else in too

Ya know, players do improve year over year. Evers, welliver or whoever else is here are allowed to improve.

Maybe, but I'm hoping there is a more proven thrower coming to Storrs.

 

[Waquoit]

I hope Welliver can pick-up the offense because I know he can make the throws.

At the risk of taking this thread off-topic, something I know we would never do here on the Boneyard, there was something mentioned a day or two ago on Storrscentral.

What they're doing over there at Storrscentral -- it's working. Look at roster now. We've completely rebuilt our defense with P4 players. We've added high end offensive pieces from SEC schools. We fought off still-current national champion Michigan from poaching our stud WR. It's working. This is what momentum looks like. None of these sentences could've been true the previous season.

I don't look at it like a subscription fee (which is a minuscule $10 a month). I look at it as a regular donation to fund the athletes that fight and bleed for my favorite team. I spend way more than my donation on clothing and event tickets than I do on Storrscentral. None of those fees goes to the students though (at least not yet).

I think people love seeing their money going somewhere and doing something. It's hard to say that our NIL isn't working. We just stole a super high-end play maker from Auburn, the best WR I've seen live in recent memory here in Austin. So please, if you haven't already, add to our NIL pool. Imagine how many more players we can add if our NIL budget wasn't 1/10 the size of B1G or $EC schools.
