And it starts...

 

[gioff2323]

It started earlier. We just didn’t know what others did.

The new staff will have to re-recruit these players. That is why the new head coach is so important

Mora wouldnt poach of course. He would never.

Moore is from the same high school as current 2026 QB commit Carter Emmanuel

We can be pissed but can't be mad. Everyone here hopes our next head coach brings some of his recruits with him to Storrs, maybe a few current players as well.

Xavier Wimbush is a 6-0 190lb DB from Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn Virginia. Other offers from Bryant, Buffalo, Hampton, Monmouth, Morgan State, New Hampshire, Old Dominion, Rhode Island, Sacred Heart and Towson

Xavier was in Storrs for his official visit back @ the beginning of June.

So he doesn't even care that some of them didn't even decommit he's just offering them anyway? It's become an even dirtier business than it was before.

It's not unusual for schools to offer kids who have verballed elsewhere, it was happening for some of these kids before Mora left. Schools swooping in or trying to snipe committed kids been a thing since long before UConn was in FBS.

[BRS24]

He'll probably justify it by saying it's not poaching/tampering, as the kids haven't signed anything yet, nor are already on a team, opposed to what he was bitching about after last season. JMO.

 

[Windham4th]

He's hardly the first or last coach to do this. No big deal.

I’m not sure why any of this is surprising. Like someone else said, whoever we get here next, we’ll be hoping he brings his recruits or players with him as well. It’s part of CFB. This isn’t even a newer part of it.

Deion Thomas is a 6-4 195lb WR from Westlake High School in Atlanta Georgia. Other offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Austin Peay, Colorado, Duke, ECU, FAU, FIU, Florida, Georgia, Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Jackson State, Kansas, Liberty, Marshall, Memphis, Michigan, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, Oregon State, Pitt, Temple, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Tulane, UAB, UCF, Utah, Wake Forest and WVA.

Deion was on campus back the first weekend in June.

Not sure why people are upset that players are decommitting. Of course you would do the same since the head coach that recruited you is no longer at the school.

Funny how Colorado St. kept most of their players though.

Unfortunately, the players our coach will bring with him will most likely be low level DI or D2 players.
