Not just the Diaco buyout, but also in the midst of negotiations of what turned out to be a very bad AAC/ESPN contract for UConn. There is no comparison to the financial stability of UConn athletics in 2021 to the knowns and unknowns of 2018. Just the increased gate receipts from BE basketball games compared to the lack on interest in some AAC games is substantial.
I agree, but in listening to Mora, it sounds like the path I wrote is the one he is taking.
Very interesting
So has his wife and he has followed the two recruits Mora retweeted yesterday
And Mora recently followed him
A good friend who's been involved with football for decades, including some ties to the NFL, was pleasantly surprised when he learned we had hired JM. Impressed we were able to get him and confident he would lead us to bigger and better days.
At Texas Tech, Houston-area native Davidson worked with/for UConn football GM, Preston Perhson (ex-TT Dir of Player Personnel and initially Dir of Recruiting).
Hmmm.. Interesting...I wonder what it means ...At Texas Tech, Houston-area native Davidson worked with/for UConn football GM, Preston Perhson (ex-TT Dir of Player Personnel and initially Dir of Recruiting).
Before Davidson's return to Texas, he was Virginia Tech's Dir of Recruiting and Asst Dir of Player Personnel. In Blacksburg, Davidson promoted a "#TX2VT" social media campaign which attracted several Texans to sign with the Hokies.
Previously, Davidson coached with small TX and OK colleges, a TX CC, and with Houston area high schools.

Robert Trombley is also listed and was recruiting creative director at LSUBoth Davidson and Errin Joe (current GA at Georgia Tech) are both listed on the UConn website as part of the “Player Personnel” department which is led by Perhson.
I wonder how many staff we had under Edsall. I never thought we had nearly that many people. 7 people who in one way or another are basically responsible for recruiting? This bodes well for future classes for sure.Both Davidson and Errin Joe (current GA at Georgia Tech) are both listed on the UConn website as part of the “Player Personnel” department which is led by Perhson.
I count 39 filled/open positions for the staff. Don’t know off the top of my head what we had in the Edsall 2.0 era, but just feels like a significant increase (10+ more).
