That's A Wrap. Post Spring Game QB Depth?

Nostical said:
Lord knows that’s true, but after all the goodwill, promise and hope that Mora and Charlton represent, when the offense takes the field at Utah State, whichever QB is sent out there must be the right answer. Because, despite how daunting the road ahead may be and the need for all of us to check our expectations at the door, for the players, the coaches and the program, we don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.

And the team and fanbase cannot handle another Fresno St opener. Hope we at least bring the right cleats for this game.
 
Ouch. Best of luck to SK. I was hoping he would stay and compete for the job but totally understandable that he decided to look for a fresh start.

Right now our QB position is as wide open as it has ever been. Personally I am hoping that TP heals quickly.
 
At least it looks like we have at least 4 good options to pick from. Better group to pick from than I can remember since I've been following Husky football in the 90's.

A little stunned by this even though we have Puma & the other guys competing at QB. Best of luck to him to wherever he goes.

 
This is nothing but a positive for the program. After spring the coaches probably sat Steven down and told him for their style system it probably wasn’t the best fit, and that between what’s in house and what’s coming in it may be in his best interests to go somewhere that fits his abilities.

The fact he thanked the current staff, and not Edsall, shows me there was full transparency and everyone looking out for what was in the best interest of the kid.

I think it’s a win on both ends, and also shows positive signs that the staff sees someone capable of starting they’ve already identified.

It’s a bummer to see Steven K leave because was hoping to see how he developed but I guess looking back at it, Tyler.P brought energy and excitement back to team at the QB position before getting hurt and I wonder if that’s why Noel Mazzone was brought in because no one on the previous staff could help draw up play designs for a dual threat qb for Tyler. Best of luck to Steven K wherever he ends up at.

By summer/fall camp they should have Drena, Phommachanh, Roberson, Millen and Zion Turner competing.

They have 8/9 QB offers out to 2023 kids before the summer high school/junior college camps start as well.

Any chance to know who is still left on the team from the recruiting class of 2018?

To understand the state of UConn football fandom and the lack of anything at the QB position on the team....................

The QB with the most snaps and games played on the roster just announced he is leaving and there are a grand total of 18 posts about over an 8-hour period. Apathy is thy name.

I thought he was going to compete for the job this fall, but he can see the writing on the wall clearer than us from where he sat. Given that, while I am surprised it was today, I am not surprised it happened. I bet many other posters are in the same boat.

I also agree with those that say Mora/Charlton probably gave him an honest post-spring assessment and said you may be better off somewhere else and therefore we would understand if you started the next step of your journey now. He was pure class during his time here. I'm sure the current coaching staff will be great references for him if the next opportunity fits his skill set.

I wish him the best.

Idk- I think there is a lack of posts because this was frankly the expected outcome, particularly if Millen stayed true to his verbal commitment and TP’s recovery progressed as it has.

I think that’s right. Unless the guy is a real top qb I think most new coaches look to change that position especially if they are coming into a struggling program as Mora certainly is. I have assumed that one of the new guys will have the job and given that it is not a great surprise that Steve K is looking elsewhere. It seemed that he might stay but I guess the reality of the situation got the best of him.
 
Steve was said to be the most successful in spring practice. I think that probably relates solely to him throwing it the best. My guess is the staff knows they want a very mobile QB first and a passer second. With the other guys we have, mobility is a strength. Steve is odd man out with that stipulation.
 
Roberson is probably the starter from what we saw on twitter from practice. If Tyler is healthy he's most likely the back up, Turner redshirts and Millen is a depth move. If Tyler isn't ready to go, he redshirts, Millen is back up.

Don't think having a runner 1st and passer 2nd is the way to go. Need an accurate passer who is mobile. Pindell was a runner 1st and passer 2nd and would want a better/more accurate passer, giving up some mobility if need be.
