Welcome to the Pound, Jevon!

Welcome to the program. A young man well-traveled.

Let me make a completely uninformed, ignorant statement.

I'm guessing those academic hurdles RE used to bitch about UConn Admin putting in place and affecting recruiting no longer exist.

I wonder if all those standards change with the transfer portal. For an incoming freshman I can see there being “qualifications” but maybe for a transfer if they’re in good academic standing from the school they’re leaving it’s a little looser. I could be completely wrong on this, but it could be the loophole.

It looks like he overlapped with Brock at Miss State, so already some familiarity with the defense. Welcome to CT!

So what is he a DE or DT ? Weird....his measurables between between K St (list him as a DT ) last year compared to when he was at Miss St. who listed him as a 6-2/300lb DE. So he grew 2 inches and lost 45lbs to move inside?

That’s why I just listed him in OP as DL.

I have trust issues w/ school site measurements.

Probably the reason the portal opens is that you get to see grades etc. so it’s like okay the kid made it.

He looks like a DE in those pics

Pretty good guess.

Can't imagine what Satisfactory Progress and Eligibility look like these days.

Randy 1.0 knew what he was talking about before he left. Pity he was held to a standard that the UNC's of the world weren't.

The reality is, that of the 100 football players, you are looking at probably a max of 20-30 kids who you really had to worry about. Those kids quite often are the ones who could put you over the top.

The more you win, the more you'd be able to get the RKG's(Was that what Diaco called them). who also had the talent to go with the character
