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

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

More, candle gets guys who stay. This is not just about 26
Clearly true, and it is a philosophy I wholeheartedly agree with. I get UCFB's question though. Just look at Murawski and Edwards heading to MSU. I don't know their personnel at all, but I'd think if we were to play MSU next year, we'd face Murawski plowing the road for Cam. Do we have any additions that we can expect to do that for us in 26? Again, I'm all about program development, and long term investment, but UCFB's question will be answered on the field in the fall. Can't wait!

You can understand the CSU portal kids would have a certain comfort level with Mora, same with the guys coming here with Candle. Wish we could have kept Vereen though. Hope to retain Terrance Smith.

Good for Victor. I'm thinking he'll be The Guy at The Ohio University. Very good school and campus. 2026 includes a game at Nebraska too.

happy for him - wished so bad it had worked out at UConn but he just could not re-capture his freshman season magic. We were also a much worse team then offensively, which gave him more opportunity. I think ultimately he ended up where he deserved to be on our list. Too bad, but 100% best wishes in Ohio. Every kid should pursue their dream. His time here was up, and I mean that in the most sincere and well-wishing way.

Article about Victor in the Hearst newspapers today (CT Post, etc.): Connecticut Native Victor Rosa Transferring from UConn Football
Article contains this paragraph: Edwards and Brown entered the transfer portal along with Rosa, and Edwards announced this week that he will be transferring to Michigan State. Brown has followed Jim Mora to Colorado State, so the Huskies lose all three of their top running backs. Their fourth-leading rusher, Oliver Lundberg Coleman (23 carries, 138 yards) is returning.
Don't know if the author missed Lundberg Coleman going into the portal, or if he has confirmation that LC is coming back next year.

Ohio Univ. football is a mess after the past two coaching changes. Poor budget management and support for D1. But, they win the MAC most years and should again this year. He might be looking for a conference championship. Something we sorely lack access to.
We need to sell ourselves as a developmental program for NFL until we find a home.
