Possible portal targets

Don't you guys think the issue is we are out of spots? That we need to see movement out to correspond with movement in?

One would think we'd see some movement now that the bowl is over. I have a feeling we'll see some spots open up and that the staff and has word out to possible transfer recruits. (I have ZERO knowledge of anything, just spitballing)
 
IMHO, Austin Aune fits the profile of remaining and available portal QBs who would plug in best at UConn. 1-2 years of eligibility left (depending on his COVID/red shirt years status), and he gives the other QBs already in the locker room time to develop.

He's mature, stable, confident and successful at a respectable G5 level, the MLB pros (NYY), and is most likely looking for a coach (and program) that can help him get NFL visibility ASAP given his age. He doesn't have a lot of time to follow those dreams of playing in the NFL if that's what he's chasing. HCJM and OCNC would just need to re-adjust the O to be more pro-style QB oriented which, BTW, doesn't seem to be such an outdated concept in the NFL these days.

Can he play baseball too? Or did he give up that by getting paid?
 
There have been a couple of tweets about new players joining the Huskies. No word if they are HS or portal.

Not that I think we have a chance, but he's a local kid

You guys are nuts. Bothroyd isn't transferring from Wake to go to UConn. He's gonna step up a level and showcase his talents on a bigger stage to prep for the draft.

He is literally from Storrs Mansfield. Wonder if he’s just sending the tweet from his literal home.

I read that he is from Willington and went to highschool in Storrs, but that info could be wrong or maybe he sent it from a coffee shop or friend's house.
Regardless, IMO he's going somewhere that he can maximize his snaps to get numbers that attract attention. If he's sharing time with equally good or better players, then he won't improve his draft stock.

The optimist in me wants to think otherwise, but Notre Dame and Tennessee pundits are drooling over this kid. Unless he truly wants to come home, no chance. Zero. Point. Zero.

Exactly.
 
i did preface my first post with his portal announcement by saying i didnt think we had a shot, but im sure the coaches will check the temperature on him. Sometimes a kid will come back close to home because of a family issue. That said, I still don't think we have a chance
