Or this one

I've already unfollowed all the kids that left as soon as they posted they were entering the portal. Everything I see has been retweeted by others. But I have seen these on my TL.
 
Tough to play a team sport if 1/2 the guys live with this POV.
 
So the guys that have expressed negative opinions on Edsall in social media thus far:

Noel Thomas JR
Donovan Williams
Mason Donaldson
Sean Young
Ryan Gilmartin
Eddie Hahn with some likes on negative comments
John Robinson IV
Sheridan Lawley with some likes on negative comments

DJ Morgan during the first wave of social negativism, seemed to be supportive of Edsall and the program. In my mind, this is such a small percentage of whiners when you look at how many players there have been in the last three years since Edsall has been back. Let's move on now.

Yes Morgan and its notably to me that Pindell has Randy's face in his twitter headmast,

We just need to get a couple weeks into spring ball and this will be over. And then Randy and CO have to deliver some better football on 2020. There is no way around it, the team has to improve, but that goes w/o saying...I think. Randy wins 5+ games in 2020 and the world is getting better. Randy wins 3 games or less and well hey, the situation is wide open.

It shouldn't be so hard for the head coach to not insert foot everytime he opens his damn mouth. Only this guy could be disaster on national signing day.

Transfers away from UConn since Edsall arrived at our level (G5) or higher? I’ll give you Tyler Davis, which I would argue was a push (although good for him personally), but can you name another?

I was not talking about out lousy UConn transfers as stated in my post. I was Referring to the great number of transfers from other schools in the portal that Edsall refuses to recruit that are doing great things for teams far better than what Randy puts on the field.

& to my earlier post of all the bad publicity further damaging UC’s reputation. Noel Thomas is now killing Edsall on Twitter.

I want it to be over too. But it's not too much to ask the 60 year old coach to be the grown up in the room and not make inflammatory comments. He forgets he left here, got fired, and came back hat in hand. Brought his son to a paying coaching position as well. Perhaps this is one of those instances when talking about entitlement, that is like the pot is calling the kettle black. Shut up and coach. The same guy who won't offer comments on the upcoming schedule wants to offer comments on transfer portal athletes being entitled. You really can't make him up.

This times 1000X.

If we brought him in to be the grown up in the room, he needs to act like one...

I'm more amazed he actually thinks he has the right to be entitled based on his actual career record. Who the hell is Randy Edsall to act like he's Ed Ogeron or Nick Saban-


OH WAIT, those guys get transfers and win. But maybe they're wrong and Randy's right. Maybe some Hard Working Fine Young Men just need to Pull Up Their Bootstraps and overcome the fact that he Has No Idea What He's Doing In 2020 College Football.

The national media is going to run with this and it’s not a good look for Randy or UConn Football. Randy will get his wish because no kid who enters that portal will every glance in UConn’s direction as long as he’s here.

Reset the clock on the rebuild....

Run with what? A philosophy that pulling players from the portal isn’t a good fit for him? This is so overblown.
 
1. This will blow over in 2 days.
2. At the event tonight RE said he had to take portal guys last year but that is not how he wants to build the program.
3. He mentioned QB position as a different situation.
4. My sense is he doesn't like kids who aren't top of the depth chart quitting and entering the portal.
5. I wish he had kept his thoughts to himself but he didn't.

There are infinite amounts of better ways to describe why you don't look to add a lot of transfers than to say the guys in the portal have "issues" The reaction is on Edsall. He's not a first year coach, at some point you need to be able to talk to the media.

Lets not hold our collective breath on this one.

LOL all these guys defending Diaco make themselves look like such a joke.

Today's comments from Edsall wouldn't have made Diaco's top 10 of stupid # 2 he says

That we can agree on. He had his own brand of "molotov cocktail of ugliness".

Whoa. So all those stories the last few years during Summer camp about how the players were buying into Randy's culture wasn't real? The insiders here reported that it was true because they spoke to player's families.

so enabled and entitled is limited to just one year of transfers? Only quality guys in the portal next year.

This is now the second issue you've decided to escalate into a back and forth rant in the past couple weeks. As Exit 4 already stated, Edsall was most likely not pointing at any specific player, and especially not DJ Morgan. He was speaking generally, broadly, not indicting specific individuals.
 
Exit 4 said:
Are you really so literal to think that Randy truly believes all portal kids are bad apples and all JUCO kids are little angels? Everyone is reading entirely to much into this stuff; media, diaco era players and select uconn fans.

Here's what I got out of today.

1) Edsall let the disingenuous walk and boy there were a lot of guys that didn't buy in. How Randy was able to do any recruiting in 2019 and 2020 with that many sour souls rooming the locker room is amazing.
2) When you are 6-30 you have a bullseye on your back. Even the national media will use anything you say to shape and support their narratives.

If this class is as good as their highlight videos and are all committed to excellence we have a chance. Lots to like and UConn must be offering something they all like or they wouldn't be coming.

So its ok to speak generally and broadly about transfers being enabled and entitled? So given that's a "generality" per HCRE2.0; with 25 transfers out of UConn he's saying a whole bunch of them are enabled and entitled? If I was one of the transfers out I'd be ask'n "who you talking about". As someone posted, this is from someone who had a multi-year contract and broke it to leave talking about a kid who fulfills his annual (not 4 year but annual) scholarship agreement and then legally (i.e. breaking no contract) decides to leave.
 
When you watch the actual presser it doesn’t seem like such a big deal- the comment in portal kids. The tweets of the quote sound more meaty than the context if the entire big discussion on recruiting philosophy which he insinuated is always evolving.



That said, for a guy doing D1 football for about 20 years he could still use some polish on his stand up act. Watching this I wanted to grab the mic and take over. The five new kids look good, this was a positive day.
