Is this correct?

Does that mean withdrew from portal?

Does that mean withdrew from portal?

Would appear so If On3’s site is accurate. 247’s site still has him in the Transfer Portal despite other recent UConn updates. His social media is silent. Would be a nice development if accurate.

[How Sway?!]

This one hurts

 

[History Geek]

Ugh

 

[Hoophound]

I sure hope he’s leaving because we have too much talent coming in. That’s gonna leave a mark.

 

[GoConn]

I wonder if he decided to leave once we got some transfers in and his role would be reduced? (kids from Wisco and UCLA)

That’s my thinking but I really didn’t expect them to hurt Cam. I think other capable WR’s would make life easier for Cam.

He's been here 5 years, could easily be a need for a change of scenery

5 years and graduates, new adventure of grad school at someplace fresh on scholly. Thats great! Thanks Cam, good luck!

 

[UConn2SF]

That's a real bummer. Was praying he'd stay but will root like hell for him wherever he lands.

 

[uconndogs]

I think guys hanging around at one school for all 4-5 years will be the exception not the rule. I would expect turnover over any 4-5 year period to be about 100%. New reality.

 

[Coach J]

This one hurts

Having to replace our top 2 receiving targets two years in a row is not ideal. At least we have the 2 WRS we just brought in and Buckman back - but man it would be nice to have some quality depth.

That's a major, major loss.

TRUE .....Shout out to the last survivor of 3 years with RE 2.0 for the end of an era. ( might be around 25 when his CFB days are over ! )
Cam had one of the craziest 5 year Uconn careers ever. 60 catches in 2019. Only 5 between 2020-22 with injuries and Covid, then back to 44 recs in 2023.

Its tough but also looking to see what Terrance Smith can do. He looks to be a very exciting player.

 

[Slick]

That's a major, major loss.

I think the quality of the receivers we are bringing in forced cam to move on. The guys we are bringing in our bigger and better then Cam. I wish he would have stayed and been a solid 3 or 4th option

 

[UConnJim]

That's a major, major loss.

Jones from UCLA is a slot receiver like Ross. And, you have Smith coming in who also seems to be a slot receiver. On the roster, you have Harrison and Domino as slots. I wish he would have stayed, but I think UConn will be OK with what is on the roster or maybe find another slot in the portal.

I don't think there were any big play receivers last year except Joly who was a big loss. UConn needs a slot receiver who can get yards after the catch which didn't happen last year. In 2022, Turner averaged 7.7 yards after the catch. This year, Ross averaged 5.6 yac.

 

[buddy]

Would a true blue husky for life leave a great program and school? I think not. Why post that? Just leave.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Freshman Cam was something special. This is a tough blow.

 

[noeynox]

Big fan of Cam. Sad to see him go.

 

[J187Money]

He graduated. Let him do something else. Kids only get to live one life. Agreed it hurts, but proud of him for graduating and wish him the best!

 

[UCFBfan]

I could agree with this if he entered earlier in the portal time frame. Him entering after we land two WR transfers tells me he doesn't like what he sees in terms of playing time or competition.

I agree with others that he has his degree and has put in his time. I hope he finds success and health wherever he lands.

 

[gioff2323]

It’s a message board, and so we speculate. But do you really think he said I see we got 2 guys who were backup wideouts at another school, no way I can compete with that? Where would he go with that mindset? Trinity? Sometimes kids complete their studies, enjoy the holidays and think with a new year - what’s next for me.

I wish he stayed. I wish him nothing but good things going forward.

 

[uconnbill]

I wish him well and happy he stayed as long as he did. He did it through injuries for two years and the year of no football. I hope he does great wherever he ends up
