The 2025 journey begins…

Nobody is a virtual lock. The minute we have that, we will be back to 3-9. Spots are earned, not given. And a guy we all thought was in over his head 12 months ago is NOT a virtual lock.

You probably still think Evers is dual threat too.

Based on the results Fagnano delivered it's hard to see anyone overtaking him. Unless one of the younger guys make a huge jump.

Given how reliable fagnano was in live play both will have to be head and shoulders above him in practice.
 


-> “(Spring practice is about) figuring out what we’ve got, who they are, what they do well, where they struggle, how we can help them along, and then how we form our concepts around what our players do best. Constant evaluation – besides development, it’s evaluation,” Mora told The Courant. “We’re under evaluation from (players), they want to know how they fit in. And you have the ability now to make moves after the spring and people aren’t shy about doing that, we won’t be shy about doing that. So it puts some pressure on everybody, and I think pressure is good for us.” <-

-> There are seven quarterbacks on the spring roster. …“I like the depth there,” Mora said. “The competition is going to be intense and that’s what brings out the best in everybody. It was a surprise, to say the least, that we found out that Joe had like an 18th year (of eligibility). But I think that Nick has responded really well, Joe has responded well, I think Cole has responded well to just knowing that it’s going to be a very competitive environment.” <-

->The group will be coached by new passing game coordinator Pryce Tracy, who has experience coaching at Georgia, Alabama and Notre Dame. Tracy replaces Brad Robbins, who left for Tulsa’s offensive coordinator job. “That’s the trigger man,” Mora said. “Brad did an outstanding job, but bringing in Pryce, just a new voice for those quarterbacks. He’s hard on ’em, he’s tough on ’em, he’s very demanding. I think they’ve really reacted well and it will be fun to just see what he can continue to add.” <-
 
I wish they would talk about other receivers besides Bell. He isn’t good enough for the offense to run through him. Would like to hear about others.
 
Interesting comment from Bell at the end of the Courant article. Can't fully read into anything but his comments make it sound like he's pulling for Evers to be QB

(Evers) thinks he’s getting big… He’s getting strong, so I can’t wait to see what he does in the spring and in the season,” Bell said. “Hopefully we keep building and keep adding and keep earning the coach’s trust so we can put in some things that maybe we didn’t have last year to get guys open, get guys the ball and let us make plays.

I love hearing Evers is getting bigger. Hopefully that helps his escapability….and durability.

You can make it personal, I could give a rats . I don’t care who starts, I’m not the one who pulls for one teammate over another. When I played and coached, u earned a spot on the team and on the field.

But if u believe we should shut it down before spring ball is barely started, who was your starter 12 months ago?
 
Right now Fagnano assumes the role of “Old Faithful” and that is based on in game performance. Rooting for Welliver to snatch the starting job from him, but that’ll be based on practice. Don’t see how Evers can win it in practice, that’s how he “won the starting job” last year, is it not? Or did he win it based on NIL salaries as many have postulated.
 
I my mind, it's Fagnano's job to lose. Evers needs to use his legs more if he's going to be in contention. I would love to see what Welliver does as awell.

Bell recommitted before Joe did. That made me think he was good with the QB situation.

Speaking of WR's coming back and I know they brought in 3 WR's from the portal. Anyone read or seen anything regarding Jasaiah Gathing (was 3rd in catches with 32). His name had been listed on the spring roster, but I don't see him listed today ?

Good catch. I don’t see on the school or Storrs Central roster list. He had very solid year for us last year.

… and not in the transfer portal to date. Should have one year of eligibility left. Shame but we have some good depth @ WR.
