What do we have returning for '26?

We are experiencing some of pulling the band aid off quickly, but I suspect that we will end up with a net positive as we have a handful of new coaches (including the guy in charge) who should have some very good insights and connections on how to fill many of the holes being left behind.

Not sure why we are even having this conversation. Sit back, relax. It is gonna be a whole new cast of characters, players, coaches, system. I hope this crew decides to have a spring game so we can start to have some kind of idea. With today's poaching environment, I suppose that is too much to ask.

This year would seem to be an opportunity for him with our departures but Tucker knows better what the situation looks like. Perhaps there's some leverage to be gained but you never know. I don't anticipate a true freshman stepping in and starting unless that player is exceptional.

They are just going to be fan engagement affairs going forward.

We will lose some more guys, and gain clise to as many as we lost before the spring academic session begins.

After spring practice we will go through this again. Players who want to see where they stand with our new staff will have a far clearer idea if they should remain or move on upon completion of the semester. We should also have a new batch of portal guys coming in at that point.

It happens at other places, and not all 5*. Why not here?

I thought there is only one portal window this year starting at midnight Jan 2 to Jan 16th. So after that the roster is set, no?

From all sources (high school, JUCO, Transfer Portal) - UConn brought in 57 new players last year without a coaching change.

I guess this is turning into an annual occurrence. Hopefully once he gets things going Candle's often alluded to loyalty will keep more of the guys he develops than previous coaches.
 
I wish Candle would step up and be more visible. I’d don’t like this incognito mode. One thing I’ll give Mora is he hit the ground running in terms of PR and sold us hard. The job is mighty complex these days and being out in front engaging stakeholders is one of the keys to garnering support which, in turn, helps enable success. Not digging the silence at all. Just sayin. I’d don’t have time for the patience BS anymore. We’ve been through enough circuses.

Mora went dead silent all off-season. He went skiing.
