Transfers - Outbound (Part Duex)

[Bongo Fury]

True made some nice catches however it appears wr is one of the easiest positions to replace.

 

[Slick]

I think this is a big loss

He would have not gotten any time. We forget cam Ross and Matt Drayton will be back as well as Turner, Clercius, Marion and the new players all of whom are better then him.

We had a depleted WR corps last year and he had 71 yards on the season. I’m sure we can find that production elsewhere.

I wish him well but the handwriting was on the wall. He struggled for playing time this year with Ross and Drayton out and the aforementioned other returnees ahead of him. It likely wasn't going to get better for him.

For the life of me I could not see why Burns did not get more reps this past season. If he is returning it is good news as we are light at RB and he is a solid kid. Nate Carter is still very young.

Burns was also dinged up (again)…

Mensah's carries should have gone to him. I think Lou was being loyal to a good soldier but it was clear to me also Burns was far more aggressive hitting the hole.

Ahhh... I was wondering. He did play special teams, so I just thought it was the staff's decision to minimize his offense reps.

I think this is a big loss

We won 1 game last year. I wouldn’t consider losing anyone off the current roster as a “Big Loss”

 

[UConnJim]

And, this doesn't include the FCS players, so only 1 of UConn's 3 portal commits is included on the list.

What about potential second day draft pick Travis Jones. This comment is just naive. There are about 40-50 ish players that get meaningful snaps every game. One player doesnt make a "team" good, but losing players from a 1-11 season can still be a BIG loss.

We won 1 game with him, I’m sure we can win 1 game without him.

Pretty good command of the Spanish language there.

 

[gioff2323]

Classy departure

Boy if that’s your mindset, why do you think any prospect would consider coming to UConn and playing for a fan base that thinks like that.

Is Jay Rose planning on going the pro-route now, or is he using his extra year of eligibility elsewhere? Does anyone know?

I don’t believe Jay has any eligibility left.. remember his eligibility clock began ticking when he graduated from Southington High in 2016.

He’s been invited to the 2022 College Gridiron Showcase:

Class act, hate to see him and the family go. Met the parents and it was easy to feel like they were UConn family. Wish him nothing but the best in all future endeavors.

Love the confidence and his thoughts about the game and his time at UCoon.
Hope he makes it in the NFL as he'd be a terrific ambassador for the UConn brand and get some payback for all the dedication he's shown to making himself and the team better.

TJ and RV will hurt. Players that had significant PT will hurt. There are no players in the development pipeline that can take their place immediately. Not sure where you are coming from.

The most underused weapon on a team that couldn’t get first downs. I hope he gets to play on Sundays, Monday Nights and Thursday nights. He’s a player.
