Mora's Transfer Portal Options

UCFBfan said:
I could be wrong but wasn't UMass's QB a highly rated transfer portal get? If UMass can land a QB like that, I see no reason why we can't. People wanna say it's a pipe dream but a lot of these kids want to play. Our schedule gives them national exposure and they'd get on the field right away. For a kid with NFL dreams, playing for Mora and getting instant PT is a win in my eyes.

Are you thinking URI? Who beat UMass in Amherst and got their coach fired.
 
Coach Mora will continue to watch practice and give his input to see who can help and who needs to move on. With his contacts he will do a decent job with recruiting this year when the players know the offense and defense they are going to run.

Yes that was it. Thank you. I remember one of the threads mentioned it. I should have remembered that it wasn't UMass considering I watched that game and clearly their QB was not who I was thinking of.

Only kid I want from the portal as of now

You think he will leave? He has shot to be starter there still, no? He is a player I think will stay P5. But if no P5 school has interest I think UCONN would have just as good of a shot as G5’s.

Well damn I didn't know that. I really think Tyler is going to be the reason this team turns around quickly. Sure his throwing mechanics are a bit off, But when he planted his feet and set to throw, he had a pretty strong and accurate arm. He had happy feet a lot which forced to make off balance throws. I think with literally any OC that knows how to call plays, this team is scoring a lot of points.

What’s funny is that you weren’t describing Tyler Lorenzen but still almost described him to a T.

Here is the thing about 4 star linemen and linebackers in the transfer portal...they weren't playing...so maybe they really aren't 4 star players?

4 star is what they were out of high school...I am sure a 4 star who went to Purdue and hasnt gotten on the field the first 2-3 years was probably overrated. But...may be a good fit here.

In general...yes...four star players are out of reach. But the transfer portal is another animal.

TBH, there are probably legit 2 star guys in the portal that are better than the talent we have on hand.

We literally have a team that on a good a day can hang with Wyoming and Vandy for a few quarters, but also would lose to UMass most of the CAA and was lucky to beat Yale.

If we are landing four star anything out of the portal we should throw a party.

He was? He wasn’t on anyone’s radar.

If he made a phone call to all openings right now do you they’ll say hell no to Mora? He wasn’t on anyone’s radar cause he took a break from coaching. But if he wanted to, I’m sure he could of coached after the Bruins let him go he did a fantastic job there.

Listening to the interviews, it isn't entirely clear. I think it was the Athletic interview where Mora made it sound like he wanted to coach in college again and he wasn't getting interviews.

Which is weird to me....the guy has a pretty good track record. He did say he had NFL offers..but he wanted to coach in college.

ADs have become weary of hiring "retreads", in the P5 poaching a successful head coach or the next hit coordinator seems to be what excites fan bases. Mora was a good pick for us, may not have been as well received elsewhere.

I think he took the right amount of time off. I think more of these coaches get burnout than we realize.

Not sure if it is accurate, but Crispino said during today’s game that UCF has 36 transfers on their roster.
Expand ...
Yes, they have close to that number. They also have 22 R-Seniors on the roster. UConn has 3.

You want a kid that can’t stay healthy?

I think as an entire offensive unit, we need to know what we're gonna do. Right now, kinda hard to see/understand what we're doing. One thing is certain, unfortunately, is that the opposing team's defense already know what we're doing before the ball is snapped.

We need competent coaching that not only coaches, but has that psychological know how that motivates kids to execute.

Did you say "EXECUTE"?
 
noeynox said:
Have either of them coached anywhere? I get their alums, but coordinators are kind of important.
Expand ...
They’re definitely not coordinator material, but might help in recruiting to bring them in as assistants. Heck, bring in Dan O as QB coach.

I did. This team as bad as we've been still keeps me on edge. I still believe we're gonna turn this thing back in the right direction.

I don’t know, kind of a tough move to transfer to the school that your brother is playing and take his starting spot away from him. I’d love to have him though.

80% with FBS ambitions wouldn't take the call. Anyone thinking FCS or has priorities other then FB might. It is just the way it is.

Little known fact, we aren't the only program with coaches that have NFL ties. We just fired one.

I would too, just think he either stays or transfers to another P5.
 
One QB I’d keep an eye on is Tony Muskett from Monmouth. He has a 34:9 TD:INT ratio and was also the Big South offensive freshmen of the yr as well as being voted 5th for the Jerry Rice award.

Given Swinney's unprecedented intent to hit the portal, chances are Clemson may target a QB transfer. Who knows whether the possibility influences Taisun Phommachanh's plans.
