How did we lose to Delaware and Rice?

Couldn’t get off the field

 

[rich1122]

We had Matt Brock as our defensive coordinator.

We put all the money 💰 into offense.

Perhaps urged to move on. Good size and there appears to be playing time available.

Agreed. I feel like kids entering the portal at this point were told that they might find more PT elsewhere

I doubt Ohio University is spending much on paying players given their athletic budget is around $35 million per year which is about what Rhode Island is spending.

I would think Rosa wants to play, can’t fault hm for that. He suited up for every game, which you can’t say about everyone on the team.

Gotta give it to Mora. He brought in some big talent through the portal. I don’t know the exact number but it feels like ober 50% of the transfers who have found homes are in the P4.

Agreed, was so excited for Rosa after his freshman year, and it never went anywhere. Probably doesn’t want to risk it again for the end of his career.

No defense unfortunately

It was actually 60/40 defense per Storrs Central.

Can we get a refund?

 

[How Sway?!]

Can we get a refund?

Unfortunately, it's the Matt Brock tax

 

[Duncan Idaho]

New coach is opening up a wider recruiting area. Very nice.

 

[gioff2323]

It’s interesting. Folks seemed to like the D in 24. He may or may not be a good coach, but I just thought the front 7 they brought in for 25 was a step back.

From what I can remember, we paid a lot for Ben Smiley and Tyquan King, who were both bad…King was benched.

I was really excited for King too.

 

[UCFBfan]

It’s really intriguing to me that a ton of these incoming portal players have a ton of eligibility left and little game experience. Hoping they can perform and excel quickly.

Ben Smiley was not bad, just plagued by injury most of season.

Who? What?

I love your optimism; never change.

Another great stat project, try to correlate success at UConn with prior game experience. I’ve looked at it as a plus, in that Candle et al are confident and committed to their developmental abilities/ philosophy. Your concern about fewer plug and play guys may be well founded. We’ll know in 10 months or so

More, candle gets guys who stay. This is not just about 26
