Transfers - Outbound (Part Duex)

[Bongo Fury]

Or the Edsalls promised playing time for Their recruits.

Is putting your name in the portal during the season a sign of how much better the other tight ends happen to be, or a sign that you have little hope a good coaching staff will be put in place at the end of the season?
I'm opting for the former based on a true freshman getting a lot of playing time ahead of him.

Or the Edsalls promised playing time for Their recruits.

Medlock was an Edsall(s) recruit. Offered in 2018.

My guess is another program back-channeled interest.

I remember this player being pretty good and his brother being recruited by good programs. Just curious if coaches offer players from a high school in order to develop relationships and get future recruits? It seemed like BD was doing that in NJ.

This ^^.

Look @ RE/CE relationship since 2016/2017 w/ Jacksonville/Space Coast area programs. Every time we change coaches I learn all about new high schools in new areas based on the new coaches relationships.

Well, he’s out this week, so that was a loud message. Thought he’d see it thru. Wish him well.

Good luck to him. Going to be a lot of new players here soon

Been at UConn for 4 years so he is probably going to graduate or close to graduating.

 

[Chin Diesel]

We finished last with you, we can finish last without you.

Or something like that.

No player is irreplaceable.

This is a player that showed steady improvement on the field from his first days until through this year. He's a top notch student, finishing his undergrad degree in engineering on time, so the next stop in 2022 is grad school. Would have been nice to keep him for that post grad year - we certainly could use him as the roster is thin on mature body kids. I expect he will land at a place with high academics.

What's odd about the Lucien transfer is that he was on the UCF pre-game depth chart as the starter, but didn't play and enters the transfer portal days before the last game of the season. He wouldn't lose any eligibility if he played this week.

Some players decide that waiting an extra week to get in the portal isn't smart.

Yep - getting in early gives you a head start, don’t blame Lucien at all.

Best of luck to him, seems like a good kid and super intelligent.

 

[noeynox]

He was good. Wish him nothing but the best. Coaching transitions are hardest on the players who have had relationships with the outgoing coaches back to when they were in high school.

 

[tayjlaw]

He’s a good kid. They’re all good kids. He also got absolutely shredded against Middle Tennessee at the last home game.

He's had some good moments as well. We are a 1 win team against an Ivy school team. We will survive any loss off the team.

Also prevents to possibility of getting injured in a game where your heart isn't fully in it.

Class act:

Class act:

This is a completely class act to do. This man is gracious and respectful. I love when players are able to leave after a coaching change and still respect the incoming staff and wish them well.

Graduating with a degree in engineering while playing FBS football is No joke and amazing. Best of luck to him and I love that he always sees himself as a Husky.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Looking at the schools these players went to shows our roster was largely FCS and D2 level talent.

 

[Bubba1957]

Engineering is no joke. Not something you can fake or bs. Give him lots of credit and I’m sorry to see him go. I think he’d be a contributor on almost any team.

I agree, a class act.

I am guessing his transfer has a lot more to do with academics than football. I bet he ends up at a program that will enhance the engineering degree he has earned.

Now we know the reason, I wish him well in all endeavors of life. Hard to understand what a difference a week would make and with all the love he expressed for the school and his teammates. Why dump out on them before the last game, senior day?

I simply don't buy into the week early advantage or possibly an injury excuse. Again I wish him well but no Husky hug from this fan.

I for one will have a much deeper respect for any players that may hit the portal but stood by the team to the end. Thus walking the walk and not just talk'n the talk.

From the player's viewpoint- Did the University uphold it's end of the agreement and put a competitive team on the field?

Clearly- he is a very smart kid earning an Engineering Degree. Hopefully, he graduated with zero debt - He will have a bright future no matter what path he chooses.

Not everyone is healthy and can play this Saturday…. Consider that and if you can’t play this weekend, why wait on the portal.
