UConn Outbound Transfers for 8/1/23>7/31/24 Cycle

Had high hopes for the bama transfer. Utterly confused that he and some of the other OL transfers couldn’t see PT when OL was mediocre, at best.

Actually, the OL was one of the strongest groups on the team. Ranked 9th in sacks allowed this season. And the PFF grades were pretty food for the starters:

OT: #31 and #73
OG: #2 and #26
C: #67

I think the offense sputtered for 2 reasons. First, Roberson did not run very much. Second, I don't think the offensive scheme played to the strengths of the skill players.

If our OL was mediocre then what about the transfer oline we brought in? Then they must be below mediocre. Our oline has been the best we’ve had in recent years, to my knowledge our oline according to Pff only gave up 6 sacks this season but I believe we gave up 9 or 12 for the year due to qb. On top of that imagine we had Edwards starting over Brewton and houston because of the way he runs is more more punishing.I bet we pull out a couple of Ws due to the fact he is a bigger body and hard to take down. Charlton, the rb Coach and Mora really in my opinion wasted the talent our oline had to be successful by not giving the ball to Edwards and Rosa till this second half of the season, it was amazing when we ran the ball down the middle instead of sideline to sideline.

You completely hit the nail. I am not sure how people do not see how last year offense was much better because we had a qb who was a playmaker and teams had to respect him. Whereas Roberson did not take the yards when the oline gave him a solid running lane.

Apparently not better than what they already had. Guessing it frees up some NIL money for someone else?

With Hayes leaving I think there was opportunity for him to start, but I hope he has success where ever he lands.

Yeah, next year we have two open slots at OG that need to be filled.

As for this year Shor was playing tackle and would have had to beat out Senn, who is one of our 5 best players and Lundt, who has a ton of experience albeit not as good at Valentin.

1. QBs (all if them) were unable to make reads quickly enough. Passing game was best on quick throws against predictable fronts (ie 3rd and mid/long).

2. OC wasted too many downs trying to be clever when the team couldn't execute that deep into the playbook. This includes the low percentage gadget plays.

3. WRs not named Buckman couldn't get separation. This is the most puzzling part. They should have been better at this, but it could be a result of 1 and 2.

Ross and Porter couldn’t get separated? You point out Buckman of all people????

He is a tackle and didn't make the 2 deep this year and played in zero games.

I thought Shor would've been moved to play inside at Guard... we'll never know... not in Storrs, CT anyways....

couldn't have summed it up any better...
 
Both sides of the ball made a lot of errors- which hurt us I won’t go into special teams but would say lot of mistakes. Put that together and you lose games

Buckman seemed like he had good hands(except on some punts) but he struggled to get separation.

I don’t recall having seen Schor on any two deep lists this year.

Really thought Shor would get some time this year and get his chance next year.
The kid always looked ready to get in there.
I wish him well.

Not a lot of sympathy for guys who leave mid season, that’s all.

Cry a river…those kids are long gone. Why are they even still a thought?! The team has many more things to be concerned about than “transfer outs”
 
I used to dread seeing this thread at the top of the first page.

I have no ill will personally towards any of the players but there is not a single player whose leaving would bother me. Not a single difference maker anywhere on the roster.

I would suggest glasses for the point of getting open. Ross, Porter, Joly all got separation

Separation isn’t all about speed. It is about things like precision patterns, timing, accuracy. The air raid offense as run by Leach was focused on quick short passes to precise spots, and overloading zones to force dbacks to pick w/o to cover, for example. Speed is helpful, especially in man coverage, but being in the right spot at the right time is more important. Having a qb who can make quick decisions and get rid of the ball is important too.
