Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 4139185, member: 364"] I guarantee you that when Jim Mora & David Benedict sat around for 3 days in Idaho ... two of the topics of conversation were: (1) Defensive Coordinator - and specifically Lou Spanos; and (2) Quarterbacks to come to Storrs and how to get them - and specifically Hugh Millen and his 2 kids that Mora knows well. So both those topics are complex and fraught with lots of nuance and layers. Both things that came into this afternoon were ... Jim Mora tried to shake a little and look at the Transfer Portal and MAYBE talked to a handful of prospective DCs. And he also was around for 3 games, so he knows the Spanos effect on the kids that are still on the roster and hurting from a tough 2021. It came together today within hours. We don't know if there were bumps in the morning. But I think Mora had 2 conversations with the QB and DC; and Dave Benedict was well apprised of what was in his head. [/QUOTE]
