With all the commits today. Looking forward to more info, but it looks good so far.

First Week of the Portal Provides Big Dividends for UConn Football

HC Jason Candle has been very busy recruiting his former roster, as well as the rest of college football

Tempering my enthusiasm: While I am happy for the influx of new recruits, I wish that Cam had completed his eligibility at the RENT. A son of the Nutmeg State, it would have been a great story. Here's hoping that Coach Candle has identified & signed a more than adequate replacement...

I think they missed punctuation because Flowers running a sub-100 100m is something everyone on these boards could do...

 

[uconntailgater]

I would imagine we’ll get some more transfer portal announcements later on this afternoon or early evening?

I ‘m curious how much he is being paid by MSU for comparison purposes. No cap is death to the sport overall. As I look at a recuits bio, in my head I’m guessing how long we can keep them. It will be hard to mentally invest in an individual player going forward, but I’ll continue to focus on the larger UConn success. I’ll be more invested in the entire staff going forward, as they will, hopefully, provide some continuity.

Sub 10 100 yards is a solid HS sprinter
sub 10 100m and you are one of the best ever, will check it and get back to y'all

Kamren shows 6.91 60m #2 Michigan State Ch's, only shows an indoor season, no 100m. Comparable to a 10.80ish 100m

by comparison, Kashif Moore ran 6.87 his Junior year at UConn, was tied #3 on UConn team

So, he's pretty fast, maybe a bit faster than Kashif. Of course there is Track fast and FB fast. Significant crossover, but not a direct corollary

I believe HooperScooper(?) alluded to neighborhood of 500k?? Have no idea what we have and offer, another Yarder posted a going rate chart for different positions. Mainly a lot of speculation, I think some here have more info than others. I have none.

I know i used to run, but it said sub 100 100m

Jerry Rice ran 4.6 at the NFL combine. But he rarely got caught on a football field.

Some of you guys are pretty old...😇

I hear what the OP is saying but I am not going to allow myself to get attached and sure players and coaches will all say the right things about UConn the program and fanbase. Let's not sugar coat it their all here to get better opportunities elsewhere, so it is what it is.

As long as I'm happy on Saturdays in the fall then you are bettering your opportunities. Since the NIL/ portal era is what it is, I will have less patience then I ever had before. I expect excellence every game not want but expect it.

Candle in year 1 im not cutting him any slack in this portal era. I expect to win 8 games at a minimum being a token 6-7 bowl team isn't good anymore not even for a 1st year HC here.

handle checks out. is the Windham Invitational still a thing?

 

[DoctorWho85]

I honestly feel like I should thanking Mora for leaving at this point because Candle is recruiting his cheeks off

 

[AllHusky]

I’m guessing he meant 10.0 and yards, making it up as he goes gos along. Could be 11.00, which is solid also. Kids fast, nuff said!

The Windham Invitational aka Bob Haddad Invitational was back on this year for the first time in a while.

One thing I realized when I turned 65 on my most recent birthday: there are a lot of old people out there who are younger than i am.

Bio says sub 11. If he’s sub 10 he’s somewhere else. I’ll take sub 11 though.

Only God can run sub 10.

I just turned 70. How do you think I feel.

The "old people" bar keeps getting raised every birthday.

I thought you were older based on your avatar.

 

[UC1995]

I feel like our football program finally has a long term plan with these moves.

 

[ETSA]

I don't think there is any football players who can run a 10s 100m. CT HS track history note: Lindy Remigino, long time Hartford Public track coach, won the 100m at the 1952 Olympics with a time of 10.4.

It's just a number Rich. Sure, it's a big number, but it's still just a number.
