i disagree. I think the UConn HC (at this point) is to develop.
We're not getting top recruits. The staff needs to identify & develop.

Don't we need a partner? And wouldn't that be the same with the Big 12?
If we're talking about when the ACC breaks up, that could take a long time, if it even happens.

USF would probably be our best bet at a partner.
 
Why is it important to some people that Mora be active at all on social media? Geno almost never does anything, Calhoun never did anything, Hurley minimal. Some FBS coaches aren't even on Twitter/X at all (Bill O'Brien is an example). Chill out and let the guy coach.

There is still the possibility Mora was told to stay quiet because UConn is in negotiations with the ACC for a membership.

I just think he doesn’t post a lot. His older posts are pretty spread out. This is a typical Boneyard fire drill. Much ado about nothing. 9 instagram posts since January of 2022. I steer clear of X. But maybe someone can check his prior activity there.

Never really worried about the other three coaches bailing...UConn football doesn't have that luxury. I don't want a loud mouth, but having some voice and excitement going into spring practice would be appreciated.
 
Recent commitment from Sheffield of Purdue has me wondering about the concerns that Coach Mora has been less than engaged.
There is an expectation of a modest exodus from the FB roster after Spring practice. We will then have an opportunity to upgrade our current roster. In order to effectively take advantage of this opportunity due diligence would require:
1. A lot of ear to the ground detective type work to find out who might be leaving other programs
2. A robust evaluation process.
3. Official visit arranged PDQ
4. Seal the deals
Would imagine Coach Mora might be pretty focused on this process.

Maybe he learned to stop fluffing the fanbase with BS,
like the ACC, B12 talk over the last two years..

What did he say to the fanbase about UConn possibly joining the ACC or Big12? I don't recall him saying anything. There was some talk of recruits being told things; not sure where that was coming from. But I don't think Mora said anything publicly about it, until the Big 12 was obviously not going to happen.

If I’m reading correctly, it’s the change in Mora that’s causing some questions….
Going from an active presence to not active is different than never being active.

He tweeted yesterday. Don’t know how to put it here.

One UConn football related tweet which is good. But he still has time to tweet about golf, yet does not have time to congratulate the men’s basketball team going back to back. Still seems weird to me even if he’s in his “shut up and win games mode.” I would use it as brand builder for recruiting, but what the hell do I know.

It does seem weird.
