Geesh... I really really like this young man...

and why is @huskymedic "might want to tap the brakes"?

Probably because there won't be a lot of places to go...

That relates specifically to the timing. If its soley about playing this fall... the whole season looks like its about to collapse across the country

Why is Keyshawn Paul leaving.He is a sure starter for us next year.

Why is Keyshawn Paul leaving.He is a sure starter for us next year.

He’s trying to find somewhere to play this year, according to him.

 

[Slick]

He’s trying to find somewhere to play this year, according to him.

There might not be any football this year. He should stay and work on his skills

 

[DoctorWho85]

I’m sad to see Keyshawn leave. But I hope he has success wherever he lands

 

[Exit 4]

There might not be any football this year. He should stay and work on his skills

I heard his exit has more to do with an off field issue and not with UConn football. The situation is unfortunate because he showed potential and was poised to get a lot of snaps in the final two seasons with us.

Just because he put his name in the portal doesn’t mean Randy can’t take him ba..,,oh, nevermind.

Given the fact Keyshawn Paul was excited after being granted the honor of wearing #6 this season, his is an interesting departure.

 

[Watchdog]

Given the fact Keyshawn Paul was excited after being granted the honor of wearing #6 this season, his is an interesting departure.

It certainly begs the question as to why he was granted the honor, unless the off field issue Exit 4 referenced came later and became the reason for leaving.

 

[Exit 4]

Most likely it came about later.

Rob King planning on being a Grad Transfer:

 

[Sprague03]

With Paul and King leaving, looks to be another young group in the secondary. seems to be a perpetual cycle of freshman and sophomores that’ll continue to play for us which we know is not a good thing.

 

[Tdaley]

Another big loss in our secondary. King played well at the end of last year.

Rob King planning on being a Grad Transfer:

Geesh. We gotta build some veteran leadership on the back end of our D. Can't keep losing kids that are halfway and more developed.

Geesh. We gotta build some veteran leadership on the back end of our D. Can't keep losing kids that are halfway and more developed.

The transfer floodgate has opened at the time one is normally focused with football on the field. The wisdom of not playing football and the mounting casualties behind that move is playing out as Chief feared. You just can’t have The Grind since 7/1 and the perception no one is fighting for you. Maybe it’s time for older coaches, who may feel medically vulnerable, to retire or take sabbaticals?

 

[Duncan Idaho]

More concerned about putting pressure on opposing Qbs. Edsall historically had very good DEs. Need that position group to advance the most. Teams were often double teaming the tackles because they could afford it.

Good point. A strong DL that can pressure a QB can mask an inexperience secondary. I think next year we'll see a stark improvement on the line

 

[PopcornHatKid]

Why does the website list King as "Did not see field" in 2019? Didn't he play last year? What am I missing?

 

[hardcorehusky]

I think the incoming talent is at a higher level than the outgoing talent. I wish Rob well

 

[Slick]

Another big loss in our secondary. King played well at the end of last year.

Why so we keep losing players that are experienced and most likely starting next year?
