Some pretty blunt assessments from Jim Mora

i like Mora but he has said things I don’t like.. like telling recruits that we are joining the aac or the big 12…

You sure about that… I may have missed the story on that but which recruit specifically did he tell that?

Cole Welliver said that it was brought up during his recruitment.

Agreed… he was addressing a rumor and if it came to fruition it would be great for the players/program. He made no representation that we were joining the Big12.

The joining the ACC comment was made to Jackson Harper as one of Mora’s goal in future years.

Did Welliver bring it up or did Mora bring it up? I think that is the issue.

Btw, not addressed to you. Just in general. Not you.

No problem. We all want the best for UConn but external financing needs to be ramped up for us to remain competitive. I think this will get even more attention given Mora's comments. (BTW, if i can contribute to UConn on a monthly basis, others can, as well).

Mora is probably the most football media savvy coach we’ve had - my gut sez something happened over the bye week that provoked the timing of that sudden off script NIL/$ diversion. Haven’t figured out what yet.

Guess time will tell.

My guess is it's recruiting related and maybe a recruit or two who they thought they had turned away at the last minute because they were offered more money. That's the only explanation I can see for why he all of a sudden brought this up. My guess is teams are circling with big bags of cash.

He really believed UConn would be going to the ACC or Big 12. Then the rug was pulled out from under him.

The rug has been pulled out from under many of us

Wish we hadn't made a bowl game last year because we did is putting to much expectation on this season.

No attack at another's thinking but I'll take a winning ticket any year we can get it. Would love to see a bowl game every year and not be afraid of next years expectations.

Is it just me or are there others that think The BoneYard needs a Pickle Ball forum?

You don't think Chaney from Holy Cross won't take the job if offered? Or any of the other top north east FCS coaches?

There's more than enought resources to be competitive.

The whole premise of putting Mora on a seat is stupid but I will entertain this.

Nick Charlton was considered a top NE Coach.

I don’t want any NE ice ball coaches. I want a guy who wants to score 60 points a game.

The Holy Cross guy wasn’t interested last time.
