Nice read:



-> But you can’t deny there’s a crowd gathering here, popcorn in hand, and you should consider this for a moment: Here we are, right in the middle of the playoffs, and there is a segment of the national community talking about UConn, wait for it, football. You don’t build programs, you don’t overcome the obstacles that still exist here by staying silent and in the background. No noise is bad noise. <-

-> … And what UConn has is a coach willing to make noise, step on toes, shake up the establishment. Mora’s not going anywhere right now, and his program hovers as an uninvited guest in the college football news — a long way from a national power, sure, but a few tweets from becoming a national nuisance. And in case they haven’t gotten the message loud and clear out there: No dumping allowed. <

I am so confused by this. Jim Mora allowed Wash St to get into his head over the tampering, and he continued to talk(conversate) with them about the tampering? It reads as though he was considering a Wast St job offer to me.
He is protecting his turf as he should

Now that Yates has committed to UNC…doesn’t it seem obvious that Mora was talking about UNC in his original tweet? Will Mora actually call out UNC and Belichick?
That really rubs me the wrong way. Something just doesn't sit right with Yates being defensive MVP and immediately announcing he's back in the portal to just committ to the team he dominated? I'm trying not to be tinfoil hat here, but the math isn't mathing if it's not tampering.

That has been answered on Storrs Central. Best $10 a month I have spent on UConn in a long time.
I am member of Storrs Central. Where do you find this information? I didn't see any articles under the Football section with Pryce Yates' name in the headlines. Is it in the Transfer Portal thread that is at 45 pages?

It's in their forums section. PORTAL thread

yes, I finally figured that out about one week ago myself. Btw it’s now 46 pages.

There’s no math. It sucks. He’s getting more NIL $, playing for an NFL hall of fame coach in a P4 conference. He probably believes it will be better for his NFL aspirations. Not that complicated.

Yates to UNC seems to have gotten a lot of media attention, scrolling on the various sport network bottomlines, espn.com etc.

The coverage is a good thing for UConn, sends a sign to P4 guys transferring for playing time, if you succeed, you can get you back to the P4, if you don't stick around or go straight to the league.

Immediate goal is to become the top G5 school AND jump low level P4 schools. I believe we are on our way.

First classless move by Yates.
Second, going to the program that just got its butt whipped makes you wonder

Bill Belichick Lands Impact Transfer Who Crushed North Carolina in Fenway Bowl

The Tar Heels coach apparently liked what he saw at Fenway Park on Dec. 28.

Tom Dierberger • Jan 09, 2025

The 2024 Fenway Bowl was one to forget for the North Carolina Tar Heels, but new head coach Bill Belichick liked what he saw in at least one aspect of the game.

UConn defensive lineman Pryce Yates, who hit the transfer portal after the Huskies' 27–14 win, signed with the Tar Heels earlier this week to join Belichick's first roster in Chapel Hill.

The Tom Dierberger?

The NY Post said "Bill Belichick secures major North Carolina transfer win"

Maybe the guys left Rhule last year because they saw how far down the depth chart they were. The article wasn't clear about the quality of the players... or my reading comprehension stinks.

It’s probably a mix. I don’t think he would be this forthright about the issue if he didn’t lose good players.

Last year UConn wrapping up the spring with an open practice instead of a true spring game. I think the new transfer coaches are part of the reason why… the smartest coaches are already doing it, Nebraska just trying to keep up.
