Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4364970, member: 1559"] I think the 3-3-5 defense that Crocker brought to UConn was a disaster and it lead to some poor recruiting decisions on defense that were felt for years. (The portal now allows you to fix mistakes much quicker.) In 2016, the defense was ranked 65th in yards per game at 410.8. In 2017, with 7 starters returning and Crocker's new defense, they were ranked 127th in yards per game at 519.0. Then the bottom fell out in 2018 with the historically worst defense. On offense, UConn could not recruit decent QBs with Guifre as OC. Thankfully, the portal has allowed UConn to bring in some QB talent and the change in OC helped UConn to recruit Turner from Florida.
