I'm pretty sure he walked on senior night.

Yeah we don't make a bowl with Evers. I'm all hoping for progression but I hope the NIL folks realize the best man plays

IMO, the UAB game was the evidence we needed to shut up every last evers fan hiding under a rock. there was no way you could look at the two QB performances against the same defense, and say that evers deserved to ever start again over Joe Fagnano.

Unless they see some serious serious improvement in accuracy and progression reading this april, I say cut your losses and let evers go in the spring. Welliver go get it.
 
Good lord, the takes here. A bagman told Mora who to play. And now we cut a kid at a position we’ve almost never had skill or depth at. Let’s take advice from jets fans b/c no one knows more about building programs or top qb play than them.

I image that before last year no one had a clue how well Joe would play.

Joe was competent. I think that was the expectation when he got here. Wasn’t able to show much in 2023 played less than 2 full games. Showed well in 2024 with Sammis and Robbins > Charlton. Maybe better than competent. We Huskies fans have very little competent QB play to compare Joe to. Starting to get anxious about QB for 2025.

If a poster thinks Evers has hit his ceiling and can't improve after this year, then you are entitled to your opinion. If he doesn't work at it, then you are right. Otherwise, I would recommend holding judgement until August or even later because (a) he can improve his footwork (b) he can learn the offense better (c) he can learn to read defenses better and (d) he can be healthy to start the season and not have broken toes and concussions.

The pining for Welliver is understood as the most popular player on a football team is the backup. The above sans the injury applies to him as well. If a Fagnano type does come through the door, he still has to learn the offense and develop chemistry with the rest of the offense. Lots of catching up there.

Finally, let's see who the new passing coordinator/QB coach is to get the full picture.
 
Was there an announcement of a new OC/ QB coach that I missed? I gotta start paying more attention.
 
I trust Mora to get this right. I thought Nick could be the guy for most of the Duke game but he never progressed. I think he should be in the mix but he needs to be better to start. I mean that one pass he made in the Fenway Bowl was brutal, square 1 stuff.

Doesn’t appear the current and incoming transfer portal WR are that concerned.

That is my raison d'etre. Why would they come if they didn't feel great about who is going to be "slingin' it around"? Anxious in this case might be 3 parts excitement and 1 part concern.

For a guy who posts on here often with strong opinions, you sure don't keep up with what's going on with the team.

The QB coach left for Tulsa to be their OC. Our OC was and is Sammis. The new qb coach has not been named.

Thx. Color me confused in CT.

But strong opinions?? More like profound statements of the obvious.

Have not posted much lately btw. Ski season.
 
I should know this, but when would a portal need to enroll by for this semester?
 
Classes have started. Might be able to sneak someone in for a little while longer.
 
One last portal need I think is a QB coach. We looked a little better at that position with a real one in place this now past season

I will assume this ^ is a dig at me.
My take is just as good as any other on this page. we know nothing.


1. what do the jets have to do with anything? just cuz i'm a jets fan doesn't mean i am a fan of bad qb play. the association is nonsense, as I'm not a jets decision maker so my takes can't be trashed just cuz the jets QBs suck. I hate their QB play (2024 rodgers and 2015 fitz aside). and I hate UConn's QB play. unrelated concepts.
2. I never said evers can't get better and needs to be cut now. I said give him another offseason and if he's not showing real improvement before the season, let him go (assuming we have depth). There is no time to waste in the independent desert we're in.
3. It is complacent to say that we should be more forgiving with a current qb who, after being given 2 offsesasons and a 1 full season (PLUS all his development at prior schools), cannot show an ability to consistently read defenses and make a throw......... just cuz we've never had a good qb. so just accept our lot? F...orget that.

I think what would be good is to have a page on here that talks about Storrs Central. At the top is a link to Storrs Central or perhaps just the web address with no link if links are not allowed. If necessary make rules defining what is or is not allowed to be shared between platforms. such as - Not allowed to copy and paste forums but perhaps titles of topics. People who want to talk about the pros / cons of Storss Central could go there on this board. It allows for a place here for people to get general information about that site. Define what their promoting over their and its value. People here can discuss all things related to it without posting in all the various chats. I think that would work out best. But its just my $0.02

Links to Storrs Central content has been here since the week they started.
