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

Shamar said:
I will say I do not know what Mora saw in Evers other than the P2 teams he transferred from. Evers is inaccurate, he isn't fast, folds under any sort of pressure, slow at processing etc. The only thing Evers has been good at in college football is entering the transfer portal. How Missouri looked at his tape and said I need some of that is beyond me. Also, he has the opportunity to play in the bowl game and peaces out last minute, he is no one I would ever want in my program.

They looked at his tape and thought he’d be a great 4th string QB who has talent that could potentially be something if they ever, god forbid, needed him. I believe the linked article a few pages back talked about how Missouri said this was why they brought him in. They never want him to be their starting QB.

Again this guy gotta go talking up a player who is no longer his...give it a flipping rest already. Go talk up players who leave CSU, he can offer Tunde support privately. And is he too busy skiing or tweeting to take a real picture with CSU gear rather than recolor a pic taken at UConn?

Yup. Mind your own business, Mora. Not your player anymore and it just shows a lack of respect and class. The Mora he does the Mora I don’t like him. Low character guy
 
I don't think much of Mora, but I don't see it as a big deal for him to wish this player well. He wasn't going to see the field at UConn, so it's not like he is spiting us by wishing him well at his next destination (likely an FCS school).

The AI "goodbye" on Twitter was a bad look on him, but this is nothing.
 
Don’t know much about Mr Tunde, but he is on UConns roster. Mora is borderline tampering or brokering the kid out of Storrs. Now he may have been told there is no spot for him. In that case HCJM should get on the phones and help find him a home privately.

I don’t like this look by Mora either. If he cares so much about Tunde, why doesn’t CSU pick him up?
 
colors/team name doesn't matter. we have no idea of tunde's relationship with JM 1:1.
There is the public side of things and then there is the people side of things.
Tunde will be someone's gain, but probably not CSU, based on that tweet. and he's not our loss - candle probably doesn't care.

so there isn't much left to be mad about.
The world continues its orbit around the sun.

I think we need to get over ourselves a little bit.

He is showing loyalty to the young men who played for him over his former employer. It’s fine if you and others would rather he show a different priority, but it’s not like that’s some grevious moral failing either.

If your boss at work switches jobs, would you really be offended if he prioritized his relationship to you and the rest of his team personally as opposed to what was good for your company?
 
The problem with Mora’s approach is that it seems like he’s suggesting the guys leave UConn. If he instead added that he would encourage Coach Candle to consider bringing them back, it would still be caring about the guys, but come across a lot differently.
 
Y'all people are twisting yourselves into pretzels to find fault with the guy. Are you all really so loyal to your corporate over lords?

He's not encouraging kids to leave, they already entered portal! That suggests that they are interested in leaving.

You have no idea if these players were asked to enter the portal by the new staff or not. Don't you think Candle and staff would be the first ones to talk to the player about staying?

Everyone just wants think the worst and be angry. Y'all are insufferable sometimes.

The guy entered the portal over a month after Candle was hired. He’s had a conversation with Candle on his future with UConn and still entered. I honestly can’t understand how so many people are getting this worked up over the world’s most innocuous tweets.

Not worked up, just explaining how it could be perceived as anti-UConn. Many guys were entering much earlier when they very possibly had not had that conversation yet with Candle and Mora was tweeting similar thoughts.
 
I know it is the boneyard thing to find something to complain about, but Candle has absolutely killed it recruiting-wise and I think we have a team to be really excited about heading into next season. I will say when Mora first left I was quite upset, as if a girlfriend had just dumped my butt. The longer this has gone on however, I am very grateful for Mora. He did his job and probably got us as far as he could take us. He put UConn in a place where we could draw in someone like Candle and he will take us to the next level. I think we are looking at the start of the golden age for UConn football.

What if Candle is trying to retain the player, thats the problem. Do you think Mora called Candle to ask? Thats likely a no. What if said player is just trying to get more $$$ from UConn. Also, that text is a huge I don’t want him but you will love him message.

I see it as a positive for getting more $$$ since Mora is drumming up outside interest for him. Hard to negotiate better rates when UConn is not competing with others for his services.

It’s the totality of behavior. I think he’s a real self centered jackass and this about him looking the part not the player.
 
There are a lot of jilted lovers here. Just like when he was the coach and a player entered the portal and he made similar posts, Mora is making a really innocuous post to help support a guy that played for him. There is nothing wrong with that. It does not show some major character flaw. It’s really not a big deal. I guarantee you that Candle could not give a rat’s behind
