Joe McFadden, dependable K when previously in Storrs. Round 2 now that the coaches who recruited over him are in Blacksburg and Fort Collins ? ? ?

McFadden had a solid, not spectacular, year. But it's not like he had any ties to Connecticut to begin with when he took a spot here.

He's got no connection to this staff. I would think Colorado State and TCU would both at least kick the tires on him.

I am not 100% sure on that one… We had Joe on the bench for 1/2 a season and it wasn’t until Evers got hurt that he got a legit shot with a decent O line. I do wonder sometimes on ability to asses QB. I liked the kid - took a chance on us. If we need backup QB and he’s decent wouldn’t mind having him back. But that’s just me.

It is disgusting what has happened to college football. We will get to a point where teams with highest payroll or "NIL" well put together the best team.
At minimal, NCAA should put together some kind of salary cap, NIL cap or something to put some guard rails around this insanity. I don't blame the kids for chasing the biggest dollars since this is the American way. I can't blame the coaches since most just want to win, and will do whatever it takes to get the best players.
This simply means there will only be about 10 to 15 teams that can compete regularly. Teams without sugar daddy boosters will be SOL.
It's capitalism and high end prostitution at its finest. It's not good for the sport and this isn't good for the sport and it will have an effect on the NFL.

Billionaire Indiana University alumnus Mark Cuban is increasing his NIL support for Indiana, he told Front Office Sports this morning. "Let's just say they are happier this year than last year," Cuban wrote in an email to Front Office Sports.

So I don’t understand one thing, and maybe this guy is not saying it right. How does this kid have a signed contract? I thought that was one of the biggest issues with NIL. There’s no specific legal contract that you sign. You can basically do what this kid did and there’s nothing they can do about it. Obviously he’s not going to get UW money but he doesn’t care if he can get 2 mil more at LSU. Am I missing something??

Sure it's capitalism. The wealthy donors are financing the payroll for the wealthiest teams. It's great for the programs with a lot of money but it's lousy for the entertainment value of competitive sports.
I agree. It is indicative of the time was live in now as well.
The whole systems needs an overhaul. For one, limits on NIL contributions from an individual is likely a good idea. Or maybe caps somewhere in the system. Otherwise, it is let’s let the millionaire’s and billionaires start making up their teams each year.
I would hope that there would be one quarterback in this portal that plays for a top 30 team that did not see much time on the field, that looks at what happened with Joe F and think - that could be me?
Everybody was talking about Joe.
If you are a 3-4 star recruit and want to have the opportunity to lead a team that is on TV every single week and be part of the national conversation, why not take a chance on UConn where we have a well established coach and a decent fanbase?
I’m not saying every star QB in the portal that needs to consider UConn, but there’s gotta be at least one or two!
I think about players like Durrell Robinson as well. I know there was an injury there - but if he had stayed? Could he be in the national conversation as well vs. footnote and on his way to a nice draft selection in the NFL?
I may be a bit of a homer for Uconn, but there’s something about our team where I just think that perhaps there are players in the portal that need to take a second look at us.
If you’re confident in your abilities and you think you’ve got what it takes and you’re just not seeing time on the field I think we are a great option, but that’s just me.

Someone had better check on Jonathan.
