With the culture Mora built, everyone who can plays

its possible, and i have no actual knowledge, but I "feel" like the kids would be sold on the UConn football mission. few if any of them have any real prospects beyond the bowl game itself, save for Skyler or Joe (maybe).

no cfp, no conference championship, this is IT for the year, or for the career. The ONLY chance for any hardware representative of a successful season. Something to store forever at burton lobby. Why not play for that?

EDIT - it might also depend on the bowl itself. If we luck out and get pinstripe or fenway vs. a respectable P4, I think everyone plays, guaranteed. A final chance for glory and a feather in our cap. If we get a lame duck early december matchup against a directional school, on a tuesday morning.... then I wouldn't blame our studs for sitting out.

All we have to go on in the portal/NIL era is last year. Tons of players with remaining eligibility entered their names in the portal before the bowl game. One, on his way to Auburn, didn’t play. That may or may not be indicative of next year, but that’s what we have to go on.

If Mora has one foot out the door to Colorado State, then more players will surely hit the portal and more may sit.

Whomever leaked that news before the season was over can pound sand.

Mora is leaving so I don’t fault any player for skipping
