Spring Ball is here… Welcome to the New Age!

This definitely looks like a clean slate type of Spring Practice/Competition. I think these guys know something's on the line here and want to get a leg up on Fall expectations. Big time evaluation and hopefully some team pride about to get established. Let the fun begin.
 
Every tweet Mora sends out, I just like the guy more. He just seems to me grounded in today's game than any of our FBS coaches. I honestly think we will see results sooner rather than later, both on and off the field.

This video got to me and gave me the chills. I am old enough to have experienced our success in football. As a huge fan of every Uconn team the best for me personally is when football is good. We all know Mora has checked every box in the early going. If this does not translate onto the field I would be shocked.
 
Real nice having Ric S. covering practices like this, thanks to coach Mora's open invitation to the press. Interesting to see all the people on the right sideline in street clothes. Parents & family, other students/athletes, portal prospects, high school ballers? Regardless, a pretty good showing for a cold Tuesday morning on the Storrs campus.

I am glad we have more reporters on site, but they need to clean up their reporting. I read his last article and this snippet left me wondering if this guy knows anything about UConn football.

Last season, the Huskies opened up with Phommachanh under helm, as he totaled 413 yards and three touchdowns through the first three games before a season-ending knee injury, which required surgery.

UConnSI, I am rooting for you. Do better than this.

I think the spring game will show who has the upside and better chance of being qb1 heading into fall camp. Rooting for Steven just because he finally has everything he needs from a coaching staff to showcase his full potential and that last year he just wasn’t developed and ready due to having an incompetent coaching because of Randy.

Wonder what this leaves for a Speight or Fogle. They are at safety size weight. Speight was suppose to be fast coming in but he shrank a couple of inches during the wringer washer of last season.

Well- yeah not impossible to think that by the end of spring they are tested at safety.

The process is underway to reshape this group as more physical. Last few years we floated like a butterfly and could be swatted away just the same.

-> Extra points - Defensive end Kevon Jones, a senior from East Hartford, left Thursday’s practice early with what appeared to be a minor injury. … Wide receiver Matt Drayton, who missed all of last season due to injury, did not practice Thursday but was an enthusiastic supporter of his teammates from the sidelines. … Wide receiver Cam Ross, who missed all but two games last season due to injury but who was the team’s leading receiver in 2019, practiced fully Thursday and appears healthy. … Marion made two big catches during a brief scrimmage at the end of Thursday’s practice, including one for a long touchdown and a one-handed grab across the middle. <-

As an EHHS alum, I hope to see KJ do great this year...and see him play on Sunday!

I think this is a pretty good take. Our coaching has been terrible. When you look at the post season performance by Travis Jones it's readily apparent that the coaches did not get the most out of him on the field. That's probably true of the majority of the squad. Steven will get his shot. May the best player win.
