Fall Camp - The QB Battle

UConnRock said:
A staff is playing a dangerous game if they redshirt a player that otherwise would be seeing the field. With the open transfer portal the QB position becomes a roulette wheel as players look for playing time. If a freshman is really good he may transfer to a higher level of competition. If a freshman doesn't play when he thinks he should he will transfer for a better opportunity. There is no predictability due to the transfer portal especially for the QB position. You have to play to win based on the best players you have this season as the roster churning will continue.

I think the portal dynamics make it much harder for coaches to play the competition game. I can’t see how many teams will be able to maintain a deep quality stable. Kids are going to move the minute they think they are just being strung along with no prospect of moving up to QB 1. Probably good for spreading around talent.

This is where I am. But if a guy is redshirting, not all that sure there w I’ll be tons of programs vying for his services since nobody really knows what he can do. Is transferring to New Mexico State or FIU REALLY a better gig than UConn? Is transferring to Clemson to fight for a backup role better? And my guess is if he really is the best quarterback he will be the starting quarterback. In some ways that would almost be MORE worrisome. True frosh leads UConn past Michigan. I’d be worried he would be starting for the Wolverines in 2023. True frost hold a clipboard against Michigan. Not so much.

If the money is right, these kids will go anywhere. If a kid thinks he should be starting and a school drops him a line and a booster sends a text about a big NIL deal that UConn can't match, you can bet someone will go to FIU or NMSU.

It's sad and pathetic but welcome to college sports in 2022.

We’re better off than last season.

Only because it couldn't possibly get any worse. In about a month we'll start to find out how much better. Guessing anywhere from 0% to 200% better. ;)

We need to be 300% better at the least.

There is a pretty solid D2 conference in Missouri and Kansas and most of the teams there looked more athletic than the huskies.

Listening to that...I don't think Millen is in the mix. At least at this point. Mora mentioned the walk on before him. I may be reading too much into this...but Mora is media savvy...and he seems to be honest. He know how he lists the QB will be analyzed. I think it's TR then TP then Turner.

It’s such a wonderful feeling to have what apparently seems to be three qualified quarterbacks battling for the starting position. After a decade of uncertainty with this program it seems like we are headed in the right direction.

And a qualified staff that will focus on putting players in situations where they can succeed and look to win.
 
The only reason Tyler is with the 2’s is because he was here during the spring. Don’t look too much in to it
