Transfers - Outbound (8/1/22>7/31/23 cycle)

[CL82]

Frankly, shocking how little damage we've suffered by folks entering the portal to date

Don’t do that!

I had a hard enough time playing intramurals at UCONN. Mostly cause we tended to drink beforehand...

The thing I am embarrassed about from my 2 years of UConn branch baseball was actually looking forward to going to Bonanza after a game.

Greek friend of mine walked off the field, mid- soccer game, for a cigarette break ... "You Americans run too much because you can't play. And what's with the small fields?" Needless to say, it wasn't our best season.

Hey we had a guy on our cross country team who always asked our coach for a drag on his cigarette on the starting line. One of our top guys and we finished 3rd in New England.

Db’s leaving… makes a lot of sense… we got big time players at that position

Best we know - Hayden was a WO like Rosario.

It's great to see such positive comments about the coaching staff when they leave. Hopefully that indicates players were treated with respect and their departure was mutual.

[Coach J]

Good for him, got himself a ride and an opportunity to play and didn't languish in the portal.

Haven't seen him in 3 decades but his old man was a solid guy and I'll root for Jr. the whole way.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Nice landing spot for him. I really hope he sees all the success he deserves.

That’s how it is done. Got some money for Wagner, which is a nice campus on Staten Island.

 

[Exit 4]

If anyone actually entered the portal this week ahead of the cut off I would expect we would finally hear about it today, or say by Monday.

Kind of stunned UConn hasn’t lost more scholarship guys. That says a lot about the program and at least standard of living and experience of the players up there.

Agreed. We will lose more eventually, because we have to, but it says that guys being eased out the door would rather stay here and give themselves one more chance to keep their jobs during spring practice than to bail out now and find a landing spot.

Uconn is a great school.. with a good college vibe…add a great coach and i can see why

Yep I am a UConn football fan but don’t follow the team as closely as those regulars on the football pages, so please let me ask you a couple simple questions:

• has UConn brought better talent in through the transfer portal than it has lost ?
• how has UConn done this cycle on the recruiting trail?

thanks

The answer to your first question is that it appears that more talent is coming in through the portal than is going out.

The answer to your second question is we brought in a very small class due to the small number of upperclassmen graduating and I'm not convinced it's any better than the classes we've been bringing in, but time will tell.

We do have the best coach ever over the last 10 years

I think we're finding out a lot of kids are deciding to move on from football with all of this portal stuff...

You're saying they are quitting the game of football?

 

[uconntailgater]

I would imagine that after spring practice concludes will see additional players exiting UCONN via the portal. Once the depth chart becomes clearer at the end of spring practice players will have to make a decision to whether they should stay or not.

basically... At some point, playing days end... for some sooner than others... Just looking at the percentages of who's transferred where after jumping in the portal... just looks that way, which makes sense...

Maybe I am misunderstanding - I believe the list of the transfers is for who left and committed to a new school (i.e. still playing football). But maybe you aren't referring to that?

 

[Bongo Fury]

Are the scholarships year to year? I believe today coaches are making cuts not just players choice. I could be wrong.
