How is a kid like Justin Joly only a 2 star recruit and only one offer(uconn) ?… he’s big athletic and fast … and he gets open and catches every ball thrown his way.. including in traffic… that touchdown against Ball state.. the player guarding him Joly just out ran him to the the end zone…. Mora hit a home run with this kid

When we get Marion back, Joly will be a great target/option when Marion draws attention. Love to see him getting passes lately. Kid's got talent.

Isn't he a bit of a tweener? Smallish for TE and big for receiver. That may be why.

I think he can give other teams match up problems.

Absolutely nothing wrong with a big receiver. I would keep him at receiver

 

[Huskyforlife]

Feel like he’s functionally a receiver. But he’s another guy who will be big in the years to come, especially with field stretchers coming back.

WR has to be the deepest position on the team. They lost the top 3 receivers and had someone basically step in to continue the production. Joly, Turner and Clercius great out there too.

Joly named to the 247Sports Midseason True Freshman All-America Team.

247Sports' Midseason True Freshman All-American Team for 2022

These are the best true freshmen so far through the 2022 college football season.

Marcus Easley didn’t have any offers, did he?

UConn is FBS.

Joly was committed to Delaware when Marinelli/Mora flipped him to UConn.

Wrong question. The intelligent question would be why are people still surprised that unrecruited, two star players still develop into important college players and sometimes NFL players? Not as frequently as more highly recruited players, but all the time.

 

[Palatine]

The bigger question is how do you keep the players you develop in a transfer portal world? Like it or not, UConn is a minor league team, and many of these players have their eyes on the B10 or SEC. Any player at UConn that opens eyes is likely to have options. How does UConn keep these kids committed in an environment where commitment means absolutely nothing?

It will be very interesting to see how much turnover becomes the new norm in college football.

Have to tell the 247 people that New Rochelle is in New York, not New Jersey. Otherwise thanks for the recognition.

If the goal is to make it to the next level, playing time matters.

Fixed it for you.

Would be interesting to create an annual 5-star AA team, 4-star AA team, 3-star AA team and 2-star AA team. And then throw in an All-walk-on team.

Every time one of these guys who have not been on the radar does something good for a flicker of a minute you latch on and write about it and amp him up.

Bottom line is that the best receivers and TE’s are out injured. TE’s are non existent this year. Best WR’s are all out which is why you see Rosa getting the attention. So don’t put all your efforts and emotions into one guy who did something good against a bad team.

Remember we are a much better team if we had our best players on the field. I’m not excited about what we have on the field right now. I am excited about seeing what we are like when the injured guys are back. QB, WR/RB, TE etc. All of the best players are out injured.

 

[Luna]

I don’t care who we get back or who we recruit next year. This kid is playing

Hopefully you meant to say some of our best offensive play makers are out injured.

I'm not sure I understand what you are moaning about?
