Transfer portal - outbound

[History Geek]

I thought all were replaceable with as good/better people, until Coyle. That will hurt. I see him being a significant contributor at a P5 school.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Coyle is FBS but I can’t wait to see where some of these other guys land

“we have to keep Edsall to prevent turnover!”

 

[outlaw]

woof

You’re right, not looking good. Better have a plan for immediately eligible transfers

 

[UConnJim]

Most leaving are RsJrs who have been at UConn for 4 years. Most were backups, although some were not. The team has been 3-9, 3-9, 1-11, and 2-10 for the 4 years they have been at UConn. It's been hard on the fans and probably harder on the players. I wish all of them luck and success.

Coyle was our best player and an NFL prospect.

Can't blame him for leaving the crapfest where 2-10 is acceptable. The good news for Edsall, he can keep claiming we're too young year after year. All the upper class-men will bail and he'll have his excuse for the next year.

We are developmental program yet everyone is leaving. SMH.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

So much for returning our whole defense...

It's a perfect grift and some people really can't see that's all he's doing. It's amazing.

 

[Fishy]

Jesus.

If the players don’t like you and you don’t win....what exactly are you doing?

 

[AD DB Burner]

Will they even be able to fill 85 scholarships at this point? Good Lord.

 

[huskymedic]

LOL...

 

[CTMike]

No, and that continues to be a huge problem.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

Maybe the spring game will be the current roster versus the transfer portal team (guest-coached by Bob Diaco).

 

[Exit 4]

No- might end up a little short now... because there will be a few more now and a couple more after spring just because there always are a few more.

 

[Slick]

Will we be able to field a team? There are a bunch of starters here so it doesn't make sense that they are all leaving.

Aren’t there also limits to the number of scholarship players you can bring in from year to year as well? I don’t remember for sure, but I want to say I recall seeing that info somewhere in the past. Given the number of players transferring out, I think those limits could really hinder the ability to fill out the roster.

 

[Ellington]

All the best to a group of young men that toughed it out thru the transition. They got tired of hearing that they weren't tough enough, weren't disciplined enough, they weren't like the "those guys in 2010". Nothing says "f-you , coach" like a kid giving up a scholarship for the unknown.
Cant wait to hear the spin on all this. Cant wait to hear about the wonderful D2 and walk on transfers that RE 2.0 scoops up this spring.
God bless all the Kool Aid drinkers!

I think it's still 25 per class

 

[Nextmanup]

Are the transfers being asked to leave? By what I’m reading on some of these exit tweets it sounds like they were asked to leave.. if so how are we going to ever get better next year with just a handful of upperclassmen RS juniors, juniors and seniors?
another young group playing, another excuse why we can’t win because they need to get “bigger, faster and stronger”... not happening next year. Another losing season unless we bring in 30 jucos!

 

[SubbaBub]

Maybe my roster-nomics isn't up to speed but, which non-grad starter are leaving?

I don't think I've seen any other than maybe one OL.

If you are a grad who hasn't played much on a 2-10 team, of course you aren't sticking around for year 5. Somebody help me out.
