->Joe Fagnano and Skyler Bell had quite the ongoing text exchange after UConn’s victory in the Fenway Bowl.

Bell, the Huskies’ No. 1 receiver, was in the transfer portal weighing a lucrative offer from Michigan. Fagnano, the quarterback, MVP of UConn’s victory over North Carolina, had played his last college game … or so everyone, including he, assumed.

“It was so funny,” said Bell. “One of our staff members said, ‘we’re waiting on to see if Joe’s coming back.’ I kind of brushed over it, then I called him back. I said, Joe? I thought Joe wasn’t coming back. So I immediately texted Joe, ‘Bro, you coming back?’ And he texts back, ‘Are you coming back?’ … And I said, well, if you’re coming back it makes it a little different.” <-

-> “I would not write Joe off as a guy that will finish his career at UConn,” Mora said. “I think Joe is pretty special, there’s some real qualities and he’s going to be a mature player when he gets done here. I think he has a lot of value, not just at this level, but at the next level, whether it’s the NFL, USFL or Canada.” <-
