Was wondering when Steele's evaluation of us was coming out.

Years back used to stop at bookstores and pick up Phil Steele and mags on pre season expectations on basketball. Steele had a lot of metrics like returning 2 deep, 2nd year and after coaches do much better than 1st year, importance of QB play and how "game luck" could make a 6-6 team be as low as 3-9 or as high as 9-3 and how luck usually "evens out" over few years. Really good teams make their own luck and if playing UConn and in the ACC get some extra luck from refs 😁.

I was wondering if Phil Steele was still around!

Oh he is. I might be one of the very few that still listens to sports radio. I'm satellite college sports. Lots of CFB talk nowadays with the season now 2 weeks away

I love how they take the time to differentiate between, say, 7.1 and 7.9 wins.

Has there been an injury tracker thru camp? I’ve seen some minor reports with Chadwick but other than that nothing.

StorrsCentral had some reports of nicks and dings and intermittent red-shirt “no contact” guys during camp but Mora seemed to think they came through camp pretty good (talked a bit about it today during media a availability.

-> In past seasons, coming out of the pandemic, or Mora’s first years, the bar was set fairly low. UConn needed to be fun to watch, easy to root for, give Connecticut a reason to care. It’s time to raise the bar. Moral or modest victories are no longer enough, nor is a loss is cause for despair. Why not 10 wins? Why not 11? Twelve? Let’s not get carried away, but it’s no longer, “why football at UConn?” around here. The culture cobbled into place now hollers, “why not UConn football?

“It’s getting closer,” Mora said. “It’s an every year, every day proposition. You’ve got to address it, you’ve got to enforce it, you’ve got to demand it, you’ve got to have guys who take ownership for it. It can be really fragile, it could be really strong. I feel great about it right now, and I hope I can tell you after we hit a couple of bumps that I feel great about it then. My belief is, I will.” <-

Love it! Dan O.'s not quite John Facenda, but he does a nice job with this.

Shocked the team is only projected to have 1 one possession game for the rest of the year. Likely is a good thing as they are probably favorites in many of the games. I am not even sure what the one possession game would be, @BC or Duke, then the other they are greater than a TD underdog?

If we play well this weekend, and continue the trend, I could see Duke being around 10.5 and BC being around 7.5
