Donovan Williams transferring (...or not?)

Hylton graduate Donovan Williams transferring from UConn

He deserved better. Wherever he ends up at least he can use his redshirt year thst Disco burned with 4 games left in the season. Best of luck to him.

Wish him the best. Kid was thrown to the wolves as a true freshman, then switched positions without compliant. Can't fault him for wanting to play QB and not to mention, we have quite a bit of depth at WR.

“Inside NOVA” has the scoop on this?

Is that telling us something already - nova bound?

I was cheering for this to work out at WR. The few times he was on the field he did display athletic ability to think he just might make it work by his senior season.

This is a bummer. Was thinking he would break out this year. Great kid and a very very nice family whom I had the pleasure of meeting on a few occasions. Best of luck to him. He will succeed wherever he ends up.

Hylton graduate Donovan Williams transferring from UConn

Article taken down?

From snapshot: “Hylton High School graduate Donovan Williams said Wednesday he is transferring from the University of Connecticut to an as of yet undetermined school where he can play quaterback...”

 

[WrenchFan69]

Wasn't his only other offer to play QB from JMU? Wonder if they're an option still

 

[Skiblets]

He was also quite a positive social media supporter of the new regime. Seems like a gentleman and wish him nothing but the best. Too bad he had to become a victim of the madness of Cranberry Pants

I thought he had the look of a game changing safety. Obviously kid wants to play AN. All the best to him.

 

[Austin316]

Good luck to him.

Stinks having these kids' college plans disrupted by bad staff and coaching changes. Good or bad players, they are Huskies first and chose UConn. But, overall quality and need at the right positions dictates.

Best of luck to Donovan...

#UConnNation Looking forward to another great season at UConn!

The article @tcf15 posted is cached on Inside NoVA.s site so it was legit fodder/discussion material (as opposed to prohibited speculation on transfers)... something changed because the article had direct quotes from DW.

Sounds like the staff talked him out of it. That seems like good news. I really like him

Agreed. Sounds like the ultimate team player and didn't deserve what BD did to him. I'm hoping he stays.

He was ready to transfer until he saw my post on the boneyard about his determination.

No doubt that was it.

Sounds reasonable.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Donovan!!!

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Good to hear. This team needs all the speed it can get.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Maybe Edsalls biggest recruit!

Phil are you actually Mike Francesa? Or just a protege?

 

[TheDrifter75]

He has as much talent as any player in the nation... to soon?

In all seriousness, he took one for the team and I hope he stays and finds success.
