The Coyle situation is somewhat odd.  He hasn’t graduated yet, so I would think he has to finish up the Spring semester at UConn to graduate and be immediately eligible as a grad transfer next year.  So, that means if you are going to recruit him now, you have to be certain he will graduate and that he is good enough to play.  And, he would miss Spring practice at a new school and miss strength and conditioning this winter.  I think these issues complicate his transfer.

One last point.  If you enter the portal before the Spring semester starts, the school is not obligated to keep the player on scholarship.  I would think if players were asked to leave, UConn will probably honor the scholarship for the Spring semester for the redshirt juniors.  If players are leaving on their own as redshirt juniors, they probably should have waited until January 22nd to enter the portal as then UConn would be obligated to honor your scholarship for the semester.
