No attack but should it not be? Need equal ammunition to play with the big boys. The M had nine QB's warming up pregame.Seems like roster size is still on Mora's mind...

“Michigan has 140 players who are big, fast, strong, physical,” Mora said. “Well coached, they play with violence, the play with energy, they don’t miss tackles, they challenge you."
I didn't say it shouldn't. I had posted in the roster thread that if it's an issue for Mora than it's an issue for UConn.No attack but should it not be? Need equal ammunition to play with the big boys. The M had nine QB's warming up pregame.
Transfer portal strategy is interesting....i wonder if the better strategy is to get transfers who are moving up....versus transfers who are moving down?Mora talking about going with youth movement indicates lack of talent (or injury) of upperclassmen and several misses in transfer market.
That makes a lot of sense to me. Also probably speaks to how hard it is to evaluate talent the first time around especially with players that are still physically maturing.Transfer portal strategy is interesting....i wonder if the better strategy is to get transfers who are moving up....versus transfers who are moving down?
Meaning...get overachievers from FCS....versus underachievers from FBS. Obviously there are exceptions....and maybe with more time we will see progress....but all of the transfers from other FBS programs definitely have had mixed results.

Getting kids to transfer up is just as hard.Transfer portal strategy is interesting....i wonder if the better strategy is to get transfers who are moving up....versus transfers who are moving down?

Is Roberson considered a whiff at QB?Every transfer was someone else's problem. Every transfer to UConn is a project or lowly regarded by better programs. Our hit rate will be lower than we'd like, but you shouldn't miss on QB's like ae did. There are only so many starting jobs and multiple candidates for each one. Even in our current state we should be able to entice one decent player to come here.
We picked up some good pieces, but whiffed where it mattered most. Mora will need to do better this winter. If there isn't a coach assigned to watch tape of every G5 senior and every backup who got playing time in these mismatches then someone's not thinking straight.
And no, Michigan's backups (1-3) are too good for us. 4 thru 9 aren't serious players.
