Another "WTF, when did I miss this?" moment...
"Boyle (43 of 82, 335 yards, one touchdown, three interceptions in nine games and three starts) had health issues that hindered his play last year. Those undisclosed issues were cleaned up at the end of the season, according to Diaco. Boyle was at the Class of 2015 press conference Wednesday and he looked good."

Sure, and they're 18-23 year old guys with human pheromones attracting USC west coeds' interest in Trojans' QBs.Nine of them will never see the field next year but I'm sure any one of them could start for UCONN. They all must think they're the next Matt Cassel.
He looked good at a press conference. Great.
uconndogs said:imho, we absolutely need to land a 5th year transfer or JUCO that are ready for the field. We absolutely cannot put a true frosh on the field this season and I see no reason to believe Boyle is the answer as a starter. That leaves the NCST transfer and who knows what that gives us. In terms of depth we're short and in terms of talent.well...
Aaron Bailey from Illinois is on the market. He was a big deal when they landed him.
If I remember correctly, during Diaco's press conference, one of the reporters tweeted out that Davis and Tarbutt are most likely the ones to see the field this year...that thought is very disconcerting. If we trot out a true frosh to play QB, we're in for an even bumpier ride this season then last....not that playing Boyle leaves any happy thoughts but at least he's seen game action??
Thanks...we obviously just get some pieces of info through Twitter and I'm not sure that the message was the same through the feed as it was through what you actually heard at the press conference. Thanks for clarifying! I understood why Tarbutt would get a shot at early PT but was shocked at Davis.He was responding to a question specially asking if any of these recruits would see playing time. He very quickly said it shouldn't happen as long as the conditioning coaches and players are doing their part. Freshman shouldn't be able to compete. He then lifted up that (as you said) Davis and Tarbutt are the closest. Tarbutt b/c kickers are different and Davis b/c he's already on campus, which gives him an advantage over other freshmen. My take in watching the presser, though, was that it was HIGHLY UNLIKELY that would happen. Unless Davis lights it up in camp and wins the job I dot think HCBD is even considering playing him over the other options.
Quite understandable with all the press on the obvious lack of an offensenive line the last several years. This is going to take time...It's mentioned on the courant sports page today that they are running a story tomorrow about how we have had no luck recruiting QB's the last several years.
