Ole Miss got a lot of good PR yesterday for having a 100% vaccine rate...do we know the latest on UConn? I think the last we heard was 90%. And is it fair to assume that no vax = no play?
I haven’t seen a public update but on media day (7/29) Edsall said they were @ 93% fully vaccinated (96 out of 103).
Edsall said at the start of camp we are 93% vaccinated across the scholarship and walk on players. Maybe that has improved some since then, probably. Word is that initially the school planned to deny game time to unvaccinated players - but I’m not sure if that ever became official policy vs “pending” policy. Let’s see if the media manages to ask the right questions in the weeks ahead.
These are questions the media should be asking
It could also mean the remaining Guys had 1 shot and were in line for #2.
When asked last week about the appearance that Jack Zergiotis seemed to be moving ahead, RE said the final decision would be made until game week. They may have someone in mind, but aren’t ready to announce it yet. Patience.
Maybe in the age of the portal it is best to run a long competition.
You'd have to think though that one of the three would start to figure it out that they are not going to be QB 1 or 2.....if we are.playing all three because we are afraid to lose one to the portal, then we have some big problems. We need to play the best players we can and not worry about hurt feelings. If they can't handle the competition and want to run away then those aren't the players needed for this team. I can't see RE feeling like he needs to stroke egos. He isn't that kind of coach from what we've seen in past seasons.
I really don’t remember anyone saying they would publicly announce a short list:
Sure, but what if all three are very similar…
Agreed but I would hope we could name a starter or at least the top two before the week of game one....in the end, as long as we get solid QB play this season it doesn't matter how it plays out this summer!
Yeah, my thought too. But the QB's by now must know what the story is unless it has been very artfully disguised. Thing is, we are essentially two weeks from the first game. Why not just tell ML that he is not in the two deep just yet because the staff wants to see how good the OL is at pass protection (and establishment of the run, for that matter) so for the first few games the guys who are more used to rolling out, run pass options, and scrambling are on the short list. But that could change if UConn looks good enough, or gets good enough, to support a pro style passing attack.
