YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's quite a departure from last year. You heard it on the yard first, at the spring game.

 

[businesslawyer]

If the coaches are comfortable with it, good. Now let him take control of the O and develop.

Two other things of note from the release. The backup is listed as McEntee or Nebrich. And McCummings is not in camp for "excused personal reasons."

 

[Dann]

so with mccumings not there and casey hurt. whitmer can quickly get a ton of looks and so can jmac and nebrich. i like this.

 

[jrazz12]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[CTMike]

And now the Boneyard can breathe a sigh of relief. Aww who am I kidding... I know someone is bound to complain!

 

[Dann]

this is how u create a little media noise i guess and make most people say wait who is that, maybe uconn may have something. this tells the fans to buy tix now. were not having the same qb issue as last year so if u though we were and didn't get tix, u were wrong...get em!

 

[johnhuskies95]

I really hope McCummings will be good to go. He was absolutely unstoppable in some games last year.

I don't know what Pasqualoni is thinking???? Why give UMass's D four weeks to adjust? Why announce so soon? He is an amateur. Two million a year? Did Pasqualoni even send a get well card to Cochran and Stewart? What's his plan? Have Whitmer for three years? Then what? He has to learn clock management, that last timeout was ridiculous. Badminton is the next big thing- where's the marketing tie-in?? Pasq is not a big thinker, he's a 1%er. Why throw on fifth down? I saw a tweet from HFDan about some kid killing it an U4 camp, who's making sure he gets through the clearinghouse?. Why aren't we recruiting Denmark more?

There.

- Well I'm not so sure this was the right call.
- C'mon have we sunk so low that the best we can do is a junior college quarterback?
- Johnny Mac has more experience.
- What about Cochran? We finally get a quality CT QB and this is how we treat him? It's not like he
broke his throwing hand!
- This kid was 18/27 in a glorified scrimage. What happens if we need a play the other 33% of the time?

Okay that's out of the way. now let me add my own

-A yeah!

Dang! Beat me to it and did it better!

PP just announced his email was hacked and the story is false. Rivals staff have confirmed.

 

[freescooter]

There will be plenty of time to complain. Just wait until he throws his first incomplete pass. If he throws two in a row palatine will be here complaining about production...

I predict that BEFORE he throws his first incomplete pass, there will be a thread titled, "When will it happen again?....in search of an NFL caliber QB"

Nah. Its on the UConn website...I hope McCummings is back shortly.

 

[BugsyCT]

Works for me - anything to kick-start this offense.

Well played.

 

[Rumrunner]

CL82, tell me how much better it is to finally talk about football? What a looong offseason.

Parsing the release, it says McCummings only out for the beginning of camp, so knock on wood it's nothing big.

 

[Rjc32563]

Anyone else concerned that "excused personal reason" are code for looking for another school?

 

[B1GEast]

Wonder how this impacts the other 5 qb's on the roster. I would assume Cochran redshirts, but my big worry is Neibrich.
