UConn 2026 Outbound Portal Transfers (*No transfer speculation until announced/posted*)

So what you are saying is we become Toledo East?

Umm, what? If Coach Candle was recruiting guys that enabled his team to never have a losing season during his time as coach, then what is the problem? Our ex-coach didn't recruit as well as RE1, but he deftly navigated the portal to fill the gaps. If HCJC2 can recruit and build through the portal, then who cares if it looks like we're Toledo East, as you put it. He got his team to 11 wins in 2023! Can you imagine how freaking crazy this fanbase would be to reach 11 wins?

Never said it was a problem, just caging my expectations on who we would be getting in the TP. I love it that he got to 11 wins in 2023, and 2017. My thought was that we were trying to get a P4 invite, not mirror a MAC team that went 16-10 the last two years. But as I said, just trying to cage my expectations on transfer portal gets.

Interesting that he's looking at a couple Oklahoma teams. Wonder if he has family there or something, I know he's from Georgia.

Would kind of suck to lose him to Tulsa, but I think he would be a really good fit at Oklahoma State as that smaller "change of pace" back. He's got P4 level speed and would likely make some plays for them IMO

At this time I would like to announce my plans for the next week as a fan in the portal: visits will include Ole Miss (1/3), Miami (1/4), Indiana (1/5) and UConn (1/15). UConn, since you are last, you have a good shot here. Wink.

Not a SEC fan. As participant in the fan portal my visit will be with Miami and Indiana.

I mean he was a walk-on. Did he expect guarantees or playing time? PWO is still a walk on. Especially at kicker where we were well established. If he didnt realize he was a long shot at best, thats on him.

It's also not like he suddenly had to pay for the semester.

Be fair please -- what you're saying he said is NOT what he said. He didn't say he was promised playing time. He is saying he signed up for UConn, and paid tuition, because he was promised a slot on the roster and then it was pulled too late for him to enroll anywhere else.

What he said may simply be false, or may be the product of a miscommunication between him and the staff as to what the staff was committing to. But if he's right it does not speak well of the prior staff.
 
I wonder how many of these CSU visits are legit interest or out of love for Mora. Seeing many at the end could also show that if they don’t get what they want from their other visits and Mora has told them he wants them, then they’ll settle for CSU.

Would love to see how many he takes with him when the portal closes.

What does concern me is that many of these guys seem like there is no chance they are staying

I'm guessing they are safety nets. Mora told them "if you don't get an offer from a school you're visiting, I'll give you a scholarship here".

Also, I’ve been seeing schools already signing kids since the portal officially opened today. I’m assuming we’ll start a thread on that once they start?? Hopefully it starts soon!

I suspect UConn will stat signing players once the "Big Boy" take who they want. "Trickle Down" portalnomics.

I know we changed coaches but this seems a little crazy. It seems like every starter is in the portal. Maybe I’m wrong?
 
With the backgrounds and recruiting reputations of the new coaches, and the offers out there it really feels like we’re about to level up our talent across the board. Watching the CFP shows how far we still have to go to reach that tier, this is a good first step.
