From what I understand we no longer plan to punt...its only field goals and forth down conversions in 2021.

Philosophical differences.

I think he’s eligible

2020 6'3'' walk on Blake Otto from Naples FL now with a clear shot to take the punting job. Hopefully he show something -but in the mean time probably start looking to find a WO for depth to join in January.

I think Iden was a kicker and punter in HS.

Looks like that kid from Naples, FL has good distance, but they're line drives. No hang-time means receivers can get under the ball and return it before defenders get down-field.

Tough to lose Magliozzi but McFadden plans on being in Storrs for January > "It’s an amazing academic school,” McFadden says, “and I have the opportunity to early enroll, so I’m going to graduate in December and be up there in January and compete for a starting role, so it was too good to pass up.”

Never watched his tape until now. What a great kick off leg, no trouble putting it deep into the end zone. Looks like he's a kicker first, punter second. His punting is decent, not quite the distance you want, but good hang time. Otto clearly has more distance but less hang time which is obviously a problem in many situations.

Wow. Now all the team captains from last year are gone. Kinda odd for Magliozzi to transfer. At his age and his position being secure on this team. It's not like he's going to be featured on another team to showcase his skills better than here.

Not playing this season really hurts.

It's hard to get more exposure than he did here at Punt U...........

I gotta admit...that's a funny line.

Here we go again with the garbage. Smh

Best of luck to Luke...

Any way we can get one (or two) of those Notre Dame kids that are eligible immediately to come here?

Two or three Fall portals and two decomits already and it’s only September. If you don’t see the disaster playing out in front of your eyes for all to see, don’t worry it will get worse, and maybe at some point even you will notice.

Playing this season would have been a disaster for us.

 

[Viet Vet]

Hey, it's October in two days. Goodbye football. Hello basketball and hockey, sports that UConn actually is very competitive in at D1 level (great leagues too; BE and HE). Wake me up next July for UConn football.

He’s a punter... not that big of a deal

Do you even watch UConn football?

 

[Husky68]

HCRE2.0 coaching a UConn team to a non disaster season, now that would something.

Under Edsall punting has been a huge part of the game plan.

Maybe we can the the coveted 'Punter U' nick name?

Chief- do you even know why these guys have entered the portal? And Decommits happen all the time. You’re trying to create an issue that just isn’t there. UConn is susceptible to the same issues that befall any team in the business of college football. Attrition is part of the deal. Kids are very finicky.

Again- you are doing this board a disservice by creating a false narrative to feed your tired 3rd person Schtick.

You keep whistling past the graveyard. To the contrary, everything is playing out as Chief feared. Dave and Randy keep doubling down, not a good place to be in, when the tectonic plates have shifted.
We are NOT “any team in the business of college football”. We are in a group of 3, swimming against the tide of 127.

You didn’t answer my question. Are you saying as a matter of fact that the recent kids who’ve entered the portal- Paul, King and Magliozzi- have done so because UConn opted out of playing this season and aren’t making plans to return while everyone else is returning to play. Is that what you’re saying here???
