Here's a Talent Indicator For The Non-Believers

[Bonehead]

talent or scheme?

 

[Sky ball]

The offense is so terrible once an opponent get's a FG and up 3-0 they put the 3rd stringers in to mop up!

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Would you kindly post the offensive rankings?

They may be too offensive to post.

 

[Drew]

Would you kindly post the offensive rankings?

I believe that falls under the "banned content" rules of the Boneyard.

Total Offense we are #119 out of 127.

talent or scheme?

How about instilling a scheme that maximizes your talent?

 

[Dooley]

Excellent defense. Several NFL prospects on that side of the ball. We need our offense to catch up to it in 2016. All starts up front at OL.

 

[BNich]

Just goes to show you, if this team can ever put together an offense that can average somewhere around 25 to 30 points per game on offense, they would be hard to beat.

 

[pepband99]

What would our offensive numbers look like without the Temple debacle and the Tulane monsoon? Somewhat in jest, but trying to keep some perspective here...

(and to those who will flog this - keep in mind you're talking a grand total of 12 data points for every team. When 1/6 of your games are "flawed," it matters)

 

[Dooley]

In terms of moving the ball, the offense probably looked its absolute best against ECU and USF. UCF was good too but I won't count that because UCF is horrendous.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

119 out of 127 and it felt like the best offense we've had in forever.

Only one thing you can say....

Talent is not binary. It's not an either/or proposition. Can we at least agree on that?

-the players posses some measure of raw ability (talent) but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. There are imperfect attempts to measure and compare it, but it is coached, and hopefully, improves over time. Diaco is counting on this.
-we have a team loaded with frosh and sophomores. They are comparatively lacking in experience and therefore not as talented as they will be when they are seniors, especially compared with some units we faced this year.
-that doesn't mean I or others don't think there is ANY talent, there is merely SOME talent. More on the defense than on the offense. And I'm fine with that for where they are in their development, though I expect another step forward next year.

Without the "Sheriff" and with an OL that is still developing, we would have been 126 out of 127, just ahead (barely) of UCF.

On the defensive side, IMO, talent with new pups melting in with existing players and
coaching.

...... Now if we can get the offensive side ..........

 

[gioff23]

Good news is that we lose no one on O, except Samra. And you have to believe Crozier slipping back in to C and Vechery retruning to OG is actually an upgrade. Now, if we can get our OTs to hit more like Tarzan and less like Jane, well, now we got something.

 

[whaler11]

This is a team that literally can't return a punt. No issues at all to see here.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Not going to win- consistently - in today's college game without an offense that can regularly put up 24 or more points per game. For UConn that would have to be 8 FG's because they still struggle to get to the end zone.

 

[CTMike]

Definitely speaks to current lack of roster depth.

 

[J187Money]

Sigh.

 

[IMind]

Punt returner = Walk on. That's the very definition of depth of talent.

 

[hardcorehusky]

I can't believe we have no one on the roster who can return a punt. Speaks to depth, recruiting and scheme

Honest question, who do you see on the defense as being drafted?

 

[Stainmaster]

Honest question, who do you see on the defense as being drafted?

Summers and Fatukasi are locks in my opinion. If Carrezola continues on his upward trajectory he should be in there too. Stapleton will get looks just based on athleticism alone. Campenni should be in the late rounds this year, and if Adams has a good series of workouts/combine he might get a look as well. Maybe Obi if he keeps playing the way he did the second half of this year.
