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

[Windham4th]

Can we at least try to keep this thread on topic:

UConn Football Transfer Portal (8/1/23 thru 7/31/24 Cycle)

1. RB Brian Brewton
2. RB Devontae Houston
3. WR James Burns
4. DL Carter Hooper
5. OL Dayne Shor
6. QB Zion Turner
7. DB Mumu Bin-Wahad
8. RB Jalen Mitchell
9. LS Nilay Upadhyayula

The answer is apparently no...

P5 programs to any decent UConn player: "you're playing time and production will go down but here is a bag of cash to come give us depth. See you in the fall."
Just annoying to see what Marion and turner did this year, but it's where we are.

They were both good players and were better than what we had, but Turner did squat at Cincinnati. He had 11 catches for 89 yards. Not sure if they paid him, but on football alone, it wasn’t a great move for him.

I wish UConn had someone in place that could be leader in getting a conference going with the eastern teams and the academies. Not saying move BB there, before anyone has a heart attack.

I order to pull that off, BB would have to be included.

I may try Trinity football next year.
17 - 1 last 2 years. Score about 45 points per game.
No Tickets. Free. Just show up and take a seat.

I'm moving to Maine this January and planning to watch some U. Maine games. Nice little stadium up there.

So Joly is the one Tennessee came after?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

That's disappointing

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Welp that one stings but not entirely surprising.

 

[ktuck911]

OMG... smh.. no wonder there were so many doggone TE offers coming up on Twitter... smh... oh man... this is tough sledding indeed

 

[storrsroars]

If D'Amelio was talking to JJ as someone mentioned here, and still couldn't convince him to stay, seems we could be in a bigger hole than even Mora assumes.

 

[Buffett10]

Time for Hanson to show why he was a 4-Star

 

[History Geek]

Ugh. Damilo tried.

Just not gonna be able to compete w/ some…

 

[CTBasketball]

No hard feelings.

That’s why Joly left shortly before halftime at the UNH game, he realized he was leaving and told D’Amelio don’t waste his time.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Not great

 

[PlayItLeo]

I wonder if even a modestly successful season would have encouraged some guys to stick around, or if these are all 100% NIL-based transfers no matter what our record was. IMO, as soon as the PAT got blocked against Utah State and we became 0-5, the rest of the season effectively became a 7-week audition for larger programs to poach the remaining talent.

He played too well here. He is getting recruited out of here to a bigger place. That’s the fate of almost every non top 10 school.

Duke lost its QB, probably to ND. What ya gonna do?

 

[HuskyAlum012]

Tennesee throwing him the bag. We cannot compete with SEC money.

Nope. They were all gonna leave if someone wants them.

What is the back story here? Sorry if I missed it. I see a ton of comments on this Insta from TN fans…

My “little” cousin just wrapped up his playing career there… I have been attending Trinity games on weekends that UConn is away, and I love it!

The tailgating is about a hundred yards from the gate. At halftime, you can walk out and fire up the grill for some quick burgers/dogs/beers between halfs… it’s an awesome experience!

 

[PlayItLeo]

If so, that makes me feel a little better.

Pretty sure Joly going into the portal is what set Mora off a few weeks ago.

Joly has been getting hounded by Tennessee fans on Twitter for a while.

Tampering for sure.

 

[JohnFSilver]

It is free agency every year. You develop players for other places. The roster gets picked clean every year. We have to assume we are guy g to lose every good player with eligibly left. There is no more 4year players.

When the Huskies went down to Knoxville, they got absolutely beat all around and Joly was about the only one to have a good game/look like he belonged on the field with the Vols.

 

[JohnFSilver]

And, it happens on hooos side. We took Cam Spencer away from Rutgers.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Hard not to wish him every success; he's earned it - but this one hurts. He seems to have forgotten one of his coaches, no?

 

[ZooCougar]

I’m glad he played out the season and played hard. He’s transferring for the right reasons IMO.

Time to move Marinelli to OC?
