Transfer portal - outbound

I played baseball and basketball in college. I coached football for 20+ years. I also train athletes. Does it matter if I played college football? There are plenty of GREAT coaches who never played the game. Don’t be a dick...if you are trying to be a dick. ;)
Not trying to be a dick at all bro.. You were just killing that football player on what he was incapable of... You sounded like you actually played, you knew what to expect. You sounded kinda like a dick... But kudos to you on what you've accomplished.
 
For those interested in transfer stats, I tumbled some numbers. I used the 247 stats and probably made some mistakes, but I think the numbers are generally correct.

Last year, there were ~1100 kids in the portal or ~7 to 8 kids per FBS team. (Numbers are somewhat skewed as some lower division kids are included.)

19% of the kids in the portal transferred to a P5 school or ~214 kids.
72% of the P5 transfers in (154 kids) were from other P5 schools. (P5 to P5 transfers)
28% of the P5 transfers in were from G5 schools or below (60 kids)

By position:

QB: 123 kids in the portal, 37 transferred to P5 school or 30%. 6 G5 or below transfers to P5.

RB: 96 kids in the portal, 9 transferred to P5 schools or 9%. 2 G5 or below transfers to P5.

WR and TE: 253 kids in the portal, 51 transferred to P5 schools or 20%. 18 G5 or below transfers to P5.

OL: 110 kids in the portal, 26 transferred to P5 schools or 24%. 9 G5 or below transfers to P5.

DT and DE: 147 kids in the portal, 24 transferred to P5 schools or 17%. 7 G5 or below transfers P5.

LB: 119 kids in the portal, 19 transferred to P5 schools or 16%. 4 G5 or below transfers to P5.

DBs: 217 kids in the portal, 28 transferred to P5 schools or 13%. 7 G5 or below transfers to P5.

K and P: 25 kids in the portal, 15 transferred to P5 schools or 60%. 6 G5 or below transfers to P5.

LS: 10 kids in the portal, 5 transferred to P5 schools or 50%. 1 G5 or below transfers to P5.


As you can see, it is very hard to transfer to a P5 school unless you are a kicker or a punter. It is also hard to transfer from a G5 school to a P5 school. RB and DB were the hardest positions to transfer to a P5 school. Although I didn't crunch the numbers, it seems easier to transfer to a P5 if you have immediate eligibility to fill a hole.

Based on the stats, at most 1 or 2 UConn transfers move on to a P5.
 
I never said he wasn’t a “good” college back. The OP said you can’t question Edsall on evaluating RB talent. I’m questioning where that RB talent is under 2.0. Mensah is good, not great. If you believe he’s improved as a pass blocker....ok. But, to say he has good hands as a receiver is questionable. He had 8 receptions in 2019, down from 10 receptions in 2018. He’s also a stat compiler. The majority of his carriers and yards were accrued when the scoring margin was 15+ points. In fact, approximately 20+% of his total rushing yardage in each of the last two seasons came when UConn trailed by 22+ points.

2018 - 225 carries, 1045 yds
132 carries, 512 yds, 0TDs when the final margin is 15+ points (win or lose)
54 carries, 232 yds, 0TDs in 22+ point loss

2019 - 226 carries, 1013 yds
144 carries, 674 yds, 7TDs when the final margin is 15+ points (win or lose)
55 carries, 238 yds, 0TDs in 22+ point loss

Yea I said that Edsall has always had a good to dominant running game and Mensah fits the good category. Your little NFL rant came completely out of nowhere

Yes, im sure it is the stats that will keep the vast majority of them from ending up at a P5:confused:

Perhaps....
My question to you was who are the talented RBs 2.0 has brought in besides Mensah?

Please look at Dante Black’s highlight tape. He scored 5 touchdowns in one game his senior year. Edsall recruited him but didn’t develop him or utilize his talents.

I think Black has talent, but at this point, Mensah and Thompson are better. So, he was 3rd string. Black is only a redshirt freshman, so he would get better over time.

Remember Andre Dixon? He had 0 carries as a redshirt freshman and turned out pretty good.

In Edsall we trust

The problem with the numbers is that they list scholarship AND walk ons. Inflates the numbers

Go back....Mensah was identified and recruited by the previous staff. signed by RE 2.0 in first class

Partially true. Yes, the previous staff identified him, but never offered. He was offered a scholarship by Edsall in June 2017 as Mensah had a complicated situation.

Serious question. Do you no longer understand the difference between criticizing a player and being a schmuck? Because you used to.

So QB depth and injury tendencies are not something to be worried about. Got it. The plan is all coming together.

"Schmuck, or shmuck, is a pejorative term meaning one who is stupid or foolish, or an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person. The word came into the English language from Yiddish, where it has similar pejorative meanings, but where its literal meaning is a vulgar term for a penis."

So you get to call a poster a "dick", is that a medical evaluation?

With Beaudry leaving, UConn will have 5 QBs on the roster for next year which is the targeted number.

Sad defense. Trashing a true frosh who had little business being forced on the field this year with trite third grade insults is hardly the same as making a post on "QB depth and injury tendencies." Your inability to just back off and apologize is absurd.

Nah. I’m just not playing your game. The fact that he was on the field is a management and coaching problem.

I'm still waiting to hear your justification to throwing a third grade insult at him, as opposed to me or Edsall.

Staying healthy is a skill. It’s not a call out that is below the belt.
 
At this point, I think schmuck sums it up. I am not a doctor, but i recently stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

He scored those touchdowns against Andrew Johnson High, breaking the previous mark of 4 by Al "Touchdown" Bundy.
 
I still think that independent will be good for UConn. Yes I understand the bowl tie in isn’t there yet but it’s a good way to build this team back up. We will build this team back up let Edsall have another two years just to get the recruits in. We will be a oiled machine I know it


We have 5 better games/trips next year that are better than any AAC bowl game. And you have all year to plan it.

"Though most departing UConn players were graduate transfers (i.e., those who had finished undergraduate but retained a year of eligibility) five could have two or more years of college football ahead of them.

Four of those five players started at least one game at UConn, though only Carroll played regularly at any point (starting eight games as a freshman in 2018 before sitting last season for academic reasons). "

Have any of you panic stricken nellies had the thought that maybe breaking up the worst team in CFB over the last 2 years isn't necessarily a bad thing? We had 1 FBS win (over UMass) with these guys. Really think the upside of them staying is greater than the upside of them leaving?

Clingy bunch of sots aren't you.

So we got JZ, SK, Micah, Roerster (Walk on) and Senecal (signing next week on scholly).. Got it.. Technically you wonder if we really have only 4.. Senecal is coming off a leg injury that cost him much of his SR season, and Micah took a medical redshirt this past season (shoulder).. let's hope this kids are healthy enough to participate come the end of July 2020...

It is a bit of a concern when you know your HC predicates his team on developing over time and not being too good early on in their lower classmen years... Unless Randy's surprising us with some IMPACT guys (via the transfer portal) you can't do anything but be a little worrisome about this...
 
Does anyone think we’ll have a second wave of transfers once kids start finding schools and signing day? Another 10-15 player wave could do some serious damage
