Plus 2018 Pierce DeVaughn and Ryan Fines and the PWO's (Wardlow, Pharachesur, Repollet, Bryant)

I'd count Beavers as Edsall/Crocker. Offered by Diaco, committed after the coaching change.

Where did I call myself an insider? Quite frankly, it’s a word I never use unprompted. Give me an example? Most stuff I know never makes this board.

Shirley you can't be serious.

Yeah, there are a few more I think based on where staff lands them (OL/DL - DB/LB) but went off my head.

Orsmby last year had the most sacks for any player since 2012.

 

[TheDoggPound]

Travis Jones, Dillon Harris, TJ Gardner, Hunter Webb, Jonathan Pace, Lwal Uguak, Kevon Jones, Caleb Thomas

Eli Thomas as well

Let’s deconstruct:
- I don’t believe he had anything to do with Harris - at any rate he won’t be playing for us in 2018 unless something changes.

Orsmby last year had the most sacks for any player since 2012.

So now that he has all these guys, will his great defensive scheme be implemented in 2018?

- Jones is a player but was an offensive recruit until Crocker’s bread box was bare
- Ormsby was not a Cocker recruit and is gone. Along with Foley and Diggs was there 3 best players. All gone.
- Harris won’t be on campus in 2018, unless something changes

Holy cow. A post not about congratulating yourself for "predicting" something (the obvious). Congratulations.

You missed my point entirely.

 

[TheDoggPound]

You're saying you'd like an aggressive defense, well a player recording the most sacks since 2012 seems to be a little bit of indication what somebody can do in Crocker's scheme, no? 7 sacks in 9 games, previous career-high was 4 sacks in 12 GP's.

I will bet that the UConn record for most sacks by a freshman gets broken this year.

I agree Beavers is a player, especially if he gets stronger.

I’m very happy to see my self imposed break has really improved the quality of posts on this board.

You don't really understand UConn football, do you? It's going to take years to get to even an average level regardless of who the defensive coordinator is. We need RSJRs and RSSRs in order to be very competitive. This isn't basketball where one recruit can change the outcome of a game right off the bat.

 

[HuskyHawk]

What a disaster of a thread. Five pages of bickering about irrelevant crap.

Team needs to play better, play better teams competitively and make it a fun experience to go to a game. This isn't rocket science.

Man does this call for a "Things Chief knows but doesn't post on the BY" thread, or what?

That would be a very interesting thread but one that will never happen. Chief doesn’t burn his sources.

LOL - Chief knows football. I tried to warn posters not to sink with PP or Diaco and many refused to listen. Crocker is in the the on deck circle now. Of course, I would love for him to succeed and be wrong. It’s theoretically possible and the schedule is easier.

The team probably isn't going to be any better. That doesnt mean its all on Crocker. We could hire nick saban as defensive coordinator and we'd still be in the bottom third.

Buddy Ryan wouldn't have been able to do any better given the talent level last year. Just chill out.

It starts with not having any players that are recruited by you.....
