Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 5120888, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1858944072641081392[/MEDIA] -> It was a harsh reality for Wes Hoeh when Syracuse fired football coach Dino Babers last year and brought in Fran Brown, a former Georgia assistant known for being an excellent recruiter, nine days later. Brown brought players with him and about two weeks after he was hired, Hoeh was asked to enter the transfer portal. “It’s the way the game is now,” said Hoeh, a junior, on Tuesday as he looks forward to returning to the dome as UConn’s center this weekend. “You gotta produce or get out. They asked me to leave and I left. It is what it is.” Hoeh was only in the portal for about a week before he decided on coming to Storrs, where UConn had an opening at his position after Yakiri Walker transferred to Colorado. He started UConn’s first eight games before his ankle was rolled up on, putting redshirt freshman Carsten Casady in the starting lineup for the last two. Hoeh says he is healthy to play Saturday. <- -> UConn’s offensive line, with Hoeh in the middle, is ranked 15th in the FBS allowing an average of just 1.1 sacks per game. The O-line is also a major factor in UConn’s 21st-ranked rushing attack, which averages 200.3 yards per game. “I love it here,” Hoeh said. “Definitely blessed to be here. It was a great decision.” <- [/QUOTE]
