We can argue over who was responsible, but Summers was pretty bad his senior year. I particularly remember the Syracuse game during he was beaten repeatedly in key passing situations.

It seemed like he had given up. Which is weird considering how much he had to lose. He just hurt himself with his poor play.

True, but they may not be after the bowl games are over. Last year Penn State had over 20 file and Michigan had nearly as many. If I had any confidence that Edsall could (or would) bring in many of those guys that were 2nd or 3rd team in top 20 programs, I wouldn't feel so miserable today.
 
He went from 1 of the best CB in the country (sophomore season) to one of the worst in his junior/senior year.. stats/analytics back it up. His play fell off a year before Edsall took over.. now he wants to lay it on RE and the 'culture' like no, you just started playing half azzed thinking you could live off of your tremendous Soph yr until the Draft. Cut the crap.

Yes, but i thought we were talking facts and not hypotheticals.

It's worse, they are losing their worst guys, we are losing our best players.

Your emotional attachment to Randy is clouding your judgment.

I agreed that it was factually wrong. I was just pointing out that teams, even good ones, do have large numbers of potential transfers in the portal once their season is over. Furthermore, I was a little depressed because I don't think that will help us under RE.

If you're going to take on the mob with reasonable facts, good luck. On a board where multiple posters had no problem deciding without any evidence whatsoever that a 20 year old basketball player was a criminal a few nights ago. (And, by the way, they didn't even find it relevant to apologize when it became clear he wasn't.)

Non-starters transfer to get on the field. Players who graduate transfer for whatever reason they feel like. Fire Edsall because he hasn't performed well enough -- his performance the last three years certainly hasn't been worthy of anyone defending him -- but if you're going to fire someone for players entering the portal without even knowing what the average is for different types of programs, let's just give up.

I love it when you are pompous and it blows up in your face. The next time you call a fact reasonable, I suggest you check your facts.
 
13 leaving the program is disturbing. It ain’t Them, it is Randy. Fire him already
 
Still waiting on a list of non-grad student starters leaving? Grads on terrible team who have options transfer for a better team instead of playing their final year and either losing or losing their spot. Doubly so if they didn't sniff the field in the first place. If they don't have options, they graduate and get on with their lives. Not a single grad on this team is worth crying over.

So who is leaving that is really an improvement over a replacement player? The only one I can think of is DeGeorge as it's harder to replace OL if they need to bulk up.

A week ago, most of you would trade the entire roster for any other D1 program chosen out of a hat.

Tell me who is leaving that we are really going to miss?

I think getting out of dodge shows how much they want to win. That certainly wasn’t happening here.

This. Especially for players like Leone and Coyle. I referenced in another thread but Jack Driscoll player at UMASS (after hand high school). Great player, grad transferred to Auburn where he is starting at tackle. Who can blame him?

Who can blame any grad player on this team for wanting to go to a winning program. Because UCONN under Edsall 2.0 is a disaster. Maybe they want instruction from better coaches too. But if you are in Coyles shoes and your choice is to come back to one of the worst programs in the country or go to a school that Is a winner, what do you do?
 
How many Edsall recruits in portal??
 
The only guys in the portal that aren't graduating and might have contributed are:


Robert Holmes
Stanley Hubbard

That's it. That's the list you guy are melting over?

Thank you for your interest in UConn Football. My lord.

wait we are dismissing the losses of those who have graduated and have significant roles? Cool that Leone, Coyle, Herring, and others are leaving?

Well its a little more than that. We are on pace to be "developmental" program thats doesn't have 5th year seniors, and isn't close to having 85 scholarship players. All this while we are going into year 4 of REstored. REject is more like it.

That was his junior year. He played poorly his last two years after having a great sophomore year.

Grads leaving is the new normal. Having a couple starters leave hurts, but then again we were the worst team in the league 4 years running. I don't begrudge them wanting to hang it up after they get their degree. Maybe if next year looked like a big step they might have stayed. It's just as likely they would have lost their starting spots. Losing so many OL, is the only real concern I see here. The younger guys actually played pretty well in other positions at the end. Everyone is severely overstating this at the moment.

If a bunch of underclassmen head for the exits, then you can question what's going on. What's going on right now seems pretty obvious to me.

Can we get a running list in first post of who is in the portal?

>>Of the 14 UConn players who have either announced plans to transfer or reportedly entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer portal, all but three (offensive linemen Stanley Hubbard and Robert Holmes and cornerback Ryan Carroll) are graduate transfers who will be eligible to play immediately at another school.

Some of those graduate transfers were little-used players who likely wouldn’t have played a role on next year’s team. Others, such as Coyle, Herring-Wilson and center Nino Leone, started in 2019 and would have been positioned to play key roles moving forward.

The full list of known transfers is as follows:
  • Noel Brouse, OL
  • Ryan Carroll, CB
  • Tyler Coyle, S
  • Mason Donaldson, WR
  • Donovan Williams, TE
  • A.J. Garson, DE
  • Ryan Gilmartin, LB
  • Brett Graham, P
  • Eddie Hahn, LB
  • Robert Holmes, OL
  • Stanley Hubbard, OL
  • Tahj Herring-Wilson, CB
  • Nino Leone, OL
  • Andrew Migliaccio, DL<<

The transfers need to be looked at as just another symptom of a dying program. Early recruiting analysis has UConn 12th in AAC. Grad transfers want to go to winning programs. We’re losing players and we have absolutely no path to replace with better players. The downward cycle under RE just continues and continues. When Dec 1 came and went and was still Head Coach, the last nail was hammered into the coffin. You can’t watch what’s happening and not conclude the only way we can improve is to schedule our way to more wins.

Tyler Coyle. He will land at a top program and start

Maybe, but none of the players leaving were All-AAC first team, second team, or honorable mention.

Do you know how many G5/FCS cornerbacks transferred to P5 schools last year? One. His father was a good NFL player and the kid was a backup at Arizona this year. How many of the 2019 UConn transfers went P5? Two. Davis started for GT at TE (remember, the previous offense did not use TEs) and Tarbutt was a backup kicker with 1 extra point at Minnesota this year.

Look, I don't want all these kids to leave and many I wish would stay, but most are going to find out that it is very difficult to transfer to another school. There just aren't that many spots.

I agree with all your points, but it doesn't change the fact they are running away in droves from this program and coach.
 
I think most of you are missing the point. The Portal offers NO promises. These young men have basically said "Anywhere but here". REject has ALWAYS put it on the players and that only plays for so long. Some of you are only looking at replacing the athletic talent, but the problem is evident to me when solid young men like Donovan Williams, Mason Donaldson and Cam Degeorge hit the exits with no promises for the future. Again- it screams "ANYWHERE BUT HERE!" I cant wait to see the spin on this. I KNOW who ISNT going to take any responsibility for this.
The OLine departures are huge. Would love to see the plan for spring ball. 8 Oline on roster by my count. Looks like lot of 7 on 7 (unless we lose more DBs)
