5555% committed, what a load of shullbit. He meant best offers yet to come. Expect a tweet soon along the lines "Thank you UConn coaches...with that being said my recruitment is now open...".

Considering he posted receiving more offers after West Virginia...we got an open slot for someone who wants to be a standout WR at UConn...

Rather go to the transfer portal for WR- that along with RB and QB. You need to try and developed your own offensive and defensive linemen.

This is going to happen, and sadly, without being in a conference, this may happen more often. I am far from happy about this, as we all are.

One thing HCRE said is that there are only your recruits when they sign on the dotted line.

We shouldn't overreact to kids decommiting as it happens to all schools. And it's good to see that players UConn recruited are good enough to get interest from other schools. I looked at some other schools and here are their decommits so far this year: Rutgers 6, Alabama 4, Syracuse 4, Ohio St. 3, BC 2, Michigan 2, UConn 2.

It’s about building relationships, worst case you have a kid who you may be able to call in a couple of years if/when they’re looking for a different experience.

I believe he was on a visit there this past weekend or has one set up for some time in the coming weeks.

Has this been confirmed/reported anywhere? Haven't seen anything outside this post.

So he decommitted from UConn to go to UNLV? Is it because he wanted to stay out west?

Maybe. The Mountain West is kind of a cluster going forward and I wonder if Dan Mullen will stay after this season, but good luck to him!

I hope I am wrong but my source is pretty good. Unless my chain is getting jerked. LOL

Mora has done way better in the portal than high school recruiting.

We’ll see… getting out the map. 😉

We are not seeing much of an increase in high school recruiting. 2026 class ranking is 94 based on 247 Sports. UConn doing much better in the transfer portal.

UConn historically does not get many plug & play high school/prep kids but they do get big contributors with lower recruit rankings (Harper, Neider. Edward, etc…).

Mora views the transfer portal as similar to NFL free agency for addressing immediate needs, while high school recruiting focuses more on player/roster development and on building long-term relationships/culture fits.

Is UConn paying any revenue share/NIL to high school recruits or just to players they recruit out of the transfer portal?

Folks @ StorrsCentral have alluded that recent strategy NIL/Rev Share is used for retention of current roster and to attract folks out of portal - not for incoming high school recruiting enticement. Could it change as the pot grows - I guess.
