Is there a never went into the portal list?

A friend of mine who is a deal attorney suggested a pretty neat NIL structure to me this weekend that I thought made a lot of sense:

-Set up a box. Could be a corporation, could be an LLC, makes no difference.
-Box issues 100% of its shares/interests to the recruit/transfer
-The shares vest only upon completion of certain requirements outlined in the NIL contract, same as if you're an employee getting an employer match in the company 401(k), restricted stock etc.
-Box gets funded pari-pasu with completion of NIL requirements
-Recruit/transfer may redeem shares pursuant to the vesting schedule.
-This will not generate a gain/loss for tax purposes because the value of the shares/interests is essentially the cash in the box

You, of course, lay out the milestones in the contract. Easy-peasy. The kid is only ever paid for services rendered and if he/she transfers out then the agreement becomes null and void, doesn't matter how many years remain.

What this avoids is handing someone a bag of cash and hoping they stick around which I understand has been a big problem with some of the QB deals struck recently.

Unless every school agrees to it the kid is just gonna go somewhere else. If every school agrees, it’s collusion.

CJ Bell might be a CB you are looking for, just has little experience. Great offers, landed at P4, the one that produced red pants Bobby diaco no less! Let’s hope!

Jayden Davis (10 games at Fresno State)
Braedyn Moore (5 games at Toledo)

ESPN has Moussa Kane listed as a CB (2 ints in 6 games at Duke)
Kylish Hicks (7 games at UConn) sort of a combo DB?

not a lot of experience but could be fun to watch

It is not short and certainly is worth posting, Thanks to JMSJoeJMS

But we still need to kickoff.

Ideally, UConn never needs to punt … but 1. Is last May’s P commitment Spencer still on the roster? 2. Any truth to rumors the Melbourne P Tommy Warner from D2 NW Missouri State is a possible addition? 3. Other punters?

NO PUNTING!! 🤣

Honestly I have no idea. I was joking about kicking off.

Understood, ‘twas intended for anyone who may know the answers.

In a perfect world we never punt and only receive one kickoff a game.

Think we are all pretty well aligned on our kicking game needs on this thread.

 

[Palatine]

We have no kickers as far as I can see.

Jack O’ Connor (K/P) - York Community High School, Elmhurst Illinois. (UConn Commit 11/20/25)

• Mike Baker is 5-9 185 Kicker from Wilimette Illinois > Ole Miss. (UConn Commit 1/18/26) (Transfer Portal) Coach Candle Offer

 

[UC1995]

I don't think Ed Entsiwah is still with the team. He is not listed on the official 2026 Spring Roster. If it was already shared, then apologies. I was just looking over the list above and couldn't remember who he was.

Fairly unique Boneyard moment
