Damn, what if we stayed home and played for UConn, how crazy that would be. We also talk about what would happen if they got all the Connecticut kids to stay in state, Trey [Williams] at Clemson, Taisun Phommachanh, now at Georgia Tech, all those guys.” Barron took note that two of UConn’s four touchdowns in the win over Central Connecticut last weekwere scored by state players, Jacob Flynn and Victor Rosa. Getting the best in-state talent to stay home has been a stated goal for Mora, who took over last November. “You start off with Vic, one of the best, if not the best player in that class, and get him to stay home and show he can perform and play early,” Barron said. “Giving him the opportunity to get on the field is the biggest thing in getting kids to stay there.” <- [/QUOTE]
