Am I the only one who think we should be a semi-appealing location to transfer QBs? A good returning RB, promising young weapons, appealing schedule and no established starter. The line remains to be seen, but should be bad. The biggest question IMO would be Giufre's offense.

Umm I'm thinking a team that hasn't played in 20 months and hasn't won more than 2 games in a few seasons is enough red flags to keep Pop Warner back ups from looking at UConn.
 
Let’s concentrate on keeping the guys we have. This a big year for Sk or jz they don’t need distractions from a one n done guy
 
At this stage, would it not be easier to talk about who’s not in the portal

What a weird year (understatement alert)...with the additional year of eligibility there is a glut of players. No excuses for Edsall to field a competent team.

Lol. Good one.

Are you not aware Edsall was not afforded the opportunity to field a team this year and play games?

His players are a full year behind every program that played this year.

My point was that edsall has complained about not having FBS bodies...that's why he is playing true freshman. With the glut of players available...he can't complain about having enough players. He can't say "we need to play true freshman due to poor previous recruiting.

Again....no excuses next year.

Not what I said at all. You can be your own google monkey and count the number of teams playing 12 games or more

Right. Yet Edsall also says to the media that he doesn't like transfers because they come with baggage and if they were high quality kids they would stick it out at their original choice. Or something to that effect. Unfortunately the media never calls Edsall out on all transfers he has accepted in to the program. Especially at a key position like QB.

Tracey , I cannot recall, but the others were okay quarterbacks. Pindell was the best in terms of offensive skills. The key is his getting and keeping decent players and I am not sure how much better UConn will be with its new independent status. Enough weak teams scheduled and I guess the record can look better, but not sure UConn can beat even "weak" teams. Even the Knicks are getting better.

I think Clemson is scheduled sometime in the future as are some other Big 10 schools. Why is UConn FB being subjected to this? Are they looking for these teams to score 90 point against them and set a loss margin in futility? Those teams' third string have been a lot better than UConn's starters.


Do they really think this will attract top recruits? Unlike BB, it will not. Maybe it makes money for the school.

I read of 15-20M at the games, but when I have seen the games on TV, it looks like 20% or less of the stadium is filled. Are they counting free tickets given away towards the attendance? Is 30% of the so-called attendance tailgating in the parking lot?

Who has actually been to a game "inside" who can verify it?
 
I’ve been to several games. The numbers are fairly accurate most of the time. The concourse is full of people drinking rather than watching the beatings on the field. That’s part of it.

It’s a good time either way. More young people should go just to be outside, have a couple beers, eat something and chill. Occasionally, a good game breaks out.

I think Randy will have us looking more competitive. He’s added lots more speed and he’s always been good at keeping games fairly close. We need a program changing QB and an average+ Edsall defense to take the next step.

We already are getting much better players then we previously had.
