FWIW - he appears in the current student directory

 

[deltastew]

Yes

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Nice! I assume that means he is playing football? If so...it will be interesting to see what position he ends up playing.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I don't think anyone has a solid answer on his "transfer" status as far as playing goes but yeah he's a UConn student.

 

[Chief00]

I did not see him yesterday but he could well had been there somewhere - I did not think to ask.

This board is going to be insufferable if Rose is:
A not playing
B not the starter at at least 4 offensive positions
C moved to defense

We need bodies for sure but he walked away last year. He has to earn it this year

Have faith he may lead us to greatness. I'm betting success!

Anyone that walked away from a Bobby Fiasco-led football program was merely exercising good judgment and innate intelligence. No explanations or apologies are necessary.

truth. And if he took a year off to think and realized he still wants to play, he's probably in a better head space than if he enrolled while conflicted.

Spitballin' here.... showing up for a legitimate coaching staff will do wonders for a talented player...

 

[Go Dogs!!]

My understanding is members of the team may have to report June 30th. He's a team member !! Go Dogs!!

Hogwash. He had a scholarship and a chance to play. He didn't take it. He walked out on 100 other guys who did show up. The excuses we heard were he missed his mommy or his girlfriend. Don't know the real reason but in my view he doesn't get a free pass. He wants to come back, fine. Walk on make the team and maybe EARN a scholarship. Also keep in mind that he has produced exactly zero at the college level. If he delivers, great. If not my guess is he'll quit again. We'll see. But I'm way more excited to see Pindell, Skanes the running back from Texas and how the oline produces under a real coach.

 

[BlueMAB]

LMAO, he doesn't owe anyone on that team anything. Every single one of them should do what's best for them when it comes to deciding when or where to attend college. If that means we lose our best player to a transfer so be it. It sucks for us, but these guys have one chance to do this, and they should do what's best for them. what you think about it.

@freescooter you couldn't have a worse take on this. He has more information on the program than you ever will. And he walked away from what was obviously a sinking ship. The fact he didn't go to one of the other schools recruiting him, and instead took a year off and is now back at UConn shows how much he wants to be a Husky.
and
PS, every single kid on the team needs to "earn" it. Nobody should be given anything. Including Pindell and Skanes.

Do you have a crush on him.............be honest........

 

[Waquoit]

Sounds like he wasn't sure he wanted to play football last year. If his heart and head are ready now that's a good thing.

Blows me away that we get worked up about a kid that had second thoughts instead of embracing the present and what's ahead with RE! Let it go! It's in the past move on

It's not surprising when you see the like % of some posters. Must be tough waking up as a every morning.
