UConn 2025 Outbound Transfers (Dec. 9th > 28th 2024 & April 16th > 25th 2025 Cycle) *No Speculation*

[BlueWolf25]

When Joe transferred here, he had two years of eligibility left. So the only way he would have another year is if he was granted a medical redshirt for 2023. Very possible this is something that has developed in the time after the season ended. I know there were talks of us going after a QB in the portal but those never materialized…maybe Joe returning is why?

He played during the 2020 Covid year which I guess wasn't supposed to count. People don't know if that's really the case or not. If 2020 didn't count, he has another year. If 2020 did count, he's out of eligibility.

“The NCAA’s solution came in the form of an extra chance for the student-athletes affected by the pandemic. In 2020, the NCAA announced that athletes who played during the season could extend their college eligibility by a year. This protected athletes’ eligibility and allowed them to stay for a fifth year to make up for lost time during the pandemic.”

If Fagnano has eligibility, you bring him back. Can't ever have too many known arms in the QB room.

That has been proven time and again in Storrs and many other places.

I am sure JF would have mentioned it to the author of the article about his last game, no?

We dont discount any other QBs who played here numbers against FCS schools, so we shouldn't even need to play that game. I thought it was stupid to knock his game against Merrimack then and I still feel that way now.

Not a knock against your post, just silly to knock a good performance against an FCS school when every QB here has played against FCS teams.

Agree. I do think early in the season when there were only a limited number of games it was fair to point out that one of Joe's games was the Merrimack game and that that skewed his stats, but that was only because the sample size was small.

People were knocking him because it was Merrimack. You could only play the team in front of you. It should have been clear as the day in the Buffalo game since both QBs played, that the offense functioned better with him and still people knocked him. I think its the bias that he came from Maine while other QB came from a P2 so he MUST be better. Trust your eyes.

Shrug. When your data is Evers versus Maryland and Joe versus Merrimack, I think it's fair to say that it's tough to make an apples to apples comparison. As it turns out, people who disregarded the caliber of opponent in favor of Joe were right.

Right now I am rooting for a fully healthy Evers to be a better QB than he showed last year. We shall see soon enough. In the meantime, I wouldn't be upset if we improved our quarterback room depth via the portal.

 

[noeynox]

Well, as it turns out, you were right. Right now I am rooting for a fully healthy Evers to be a better QB than he showed last year. We still see soon enough.

Not trying to be right, but I do try to be objective. The first signs were in the Maryland game.

Same. I considered the choice to be a push, with each bringing different things to the table early on. Eventually, though, it was clear the team moved better with Fagnano. Could not be happier how his career ended with a bowl win. Joe ended up being a quality teammate who showed his character when he wasn't starting but stayed ready and was effective when he came in.

As a true freshman, he was a DE who had a bunch of 15 yard penalties for late hits and unsportsmanlike conduct. I liked his aggression although he never should have been on the field, but back then, we had no one else.

I was surprised when he was moved to TE. He got some run last year, barely anything this year. I wish him luck.

One career catch and that was for a TD…that’s cool.

Wish him the best, we are lowkey very deep at TE.

Harris was honored on senior day and because he is now entering the portal (grad transfer), he has his degree from UConn.

NCAA '25 really thought he was our best TE...

Hansen and Honig beg to differ.

I beg to differ too. The game always put Harris first in depth chart though.

He was our best blocking TE in 2023 and played a lot for us. I think the improvement of Hansen and the recovery from his injury by Honig made Harris our third option this year.

Having a solid 3 deep there is not a bad thing and with the pickup from NCST we should be set for a solid TE group.

Dominic Toy was in before Harris. He was really our 4th string

I even saw Chirchi out on the field
