Mora on Offense: We have a longs ways to go and a lot of work to do but…

I think it is fairly unlikely anybody will. Look at guys in the portal. To me it will be interesting to see how this develops when teams everybody gets a portal quarterback. I have a sense that the quality may decline because it is easier to sign a guy from the portal than develop one. Then the question becomes where does the next class develop.

I think we already seeing a decline. The college football that I fell in love with no longer exists.

Yes.

I think not running from the shotgun on 3rd and 14 would be a step on the right direction.

Yes I think 40 yard sideways passes to the other sideline would be a step in the right direction.

Yes I think doing away with predictable and slow developing plays behind the line of scrimmage would be a step in the right direction.

Yes I think calling pass plays where receivers run routes that go beyond the first down markers would be a step in the right direction.

And by contemporizing the offense, we should be able to attract better players. Not doing it assures we will not attract better players.

Fagnano's first series he looked great. I don't think it's a coincidence that his pattern matched the offense even after he was out injured for the season: a well-thought, well-executed first possession with poor in-game adjustments.

I've said it before, but Fagnano's highlights show a QB with good arm strength and reasonable accuracy, even against decent FBS opposition. He had a really good TD: turnover ratio as well. I won't be the least bit disappointed if I see him again.

It became popular here to knock Fagnano but I generally agree with your take. What we saw from Fagnano is who Charlton currently is - he can script a first series and he struggles to adjust from there.

That's not to say Fagnano was good. It's just to say that I'm not sure he is a substantial step down from Roberson. If the circumstances allow, I would love to be the champion of the Joe Fagnano redemption thread.
 
I imagine the team will almost be completely different from last year. My only hope is with Mora’s NFL experience that he can build teams year after year. Concern is at UConn he may not be able to get the players he wants like is possible in the NFL.

It’s not like he came from a big 6A Texas Gugg School. He came from a smaller private school league. He looks very good, but everyone’s expectations need be tempered.

We just got a commitment from a CB who is rated higher.

This class of HS recruits actually looks nice.

I thought people were saying he was voted the best arm in Texas from the 7 on 7 league. Not so?

So much was painful on offense last year.

Do we think Charlton has learned his lesson about not testing the edge 10 times per game? That our receivers have to get beyond the marker on third down routes?

I think we’re gonna know by halftime of game 1 whether Charlton has grown or whether we will have to suffer again.
Expand ...
He’s 24 games in and as dumb as ever. Don’t hold your breath.
 
So it would seem logical the top programs will be stacked with older, bigger stronger players who have developed while the lesser programs will be the feeder systems. Don't bother recruiting high school kids when you can find an experienced proven players in the portal. Maybe recruit a sure fire stud out of high school but don't risk recruiting a bust. A Ben Roethlisberger at Miami OH could be out there in the portal. And if you are a great high school QB, go someplace where you can start right away rather than ride the pine for a year or two. Ben started 3 years and got better each year. Tom Brady played 4 years and barely played his first two.

Then we agree completely.

Schools pay insane amounts of money for qbs. If a qb has a modicum of success here, they will be gone the following year. Stinks but it is what it is.

I just want to get to the point where that happens because then it means UCONN had a good season.

Ok - I have to be careful about sharing. A buddy of mine runs a company and wants to do an NIL deal to help support the program. The money would be pretty decent for a non-QB position. Let’s just say it’s been months trying to get somebody to pay attention. That, boys, is our program problem.

Have him contact Jared Thomas (Bleeding Blue for Good) @ info@bleedingblueforgood.org. He’s been quite helpful.

But I was told we were broke as hell and couldn't compete unless we had P4 money?

Sounds like the NIL efforts are getting us into play with sone recruits. But until we get some actual commitments and win some games I don’t see what the point of your comment is.

That the commitment is there to be a competitive program, which people refuse to believe

There was a tweet from a non-staff member referencing UConn’s efforts chasing 2 unamed players on the offensive side of the ball w/ strong NIL efforts.

Why is this content getting deleted?

?The person who tweeted it - deleted his own tweet. (It then shows up as “Not found” moving forward)

I still see them in his timeline.

Looks like with Coach Hilliard’s tweet there is some good news on the way.

I’d like to put Noel Mazzone somewhere on this list but he wasn’t an OC, just instantaneously transformed the offense to being capable in a week. And then he was gone.
Expand ...
I mention it to way too much, but Mazzone made a staggering difference in no time at all. He showed us what a true, talented and experienced offensive mind can do for a team. Suddenly, no talent becomes promising enough talent. It was really eye opening.
