RB Will Knight

What a weird situation. Wonder what happened.

It will make it his 5th school, Old Dominion, Delaware, Community College, UConn, then wherever. Very odd situation.

And he's got 2 brothers at JMU.

Mora was praising Brewton and Houston the other day, could be that touches were going to be tough in that backfield

Yeah my guess is that he assumed he would get the lion's share of carries, and then he saw that Carter would be the bell cow with Brewton/Houston/Rosa all getting some burn. Frankly, not worried about this departure

My first reaction was wow. Now that I’ve read this we should be ok.

That's nuts. He was a bigger name recruit for us from portal IIRC. Speaks highly of the running backs we already have in the current roster. We also have burns from Miami the transfer we got last year. My guess is we have a lot of running backs and like others have said Mora thought we had enough and might found that he didn't probably have as many carries as he was hoping for.

Hope he finds a good home and does really well.

So your first reaction is "problem," but when people who want it to not be "problem" hypothesize why it may be "no problem" you accept their speculation as fact? Are you interested in a bridge I own connecting lower Manhattan to Brooklyn?

Maybe he wasn't going to play and it's no problem. Maybe he was and it is a problem. But over the last 12 years the "problems" have outweighed the "no problems" by a huge amount, so waiting and seeing may be more prudent.

 

[CCSUblue]

I've got to think that this is more complicated than him not getting enough carries. He's essentially forfeiting a year of eligibility and won't be playing ball this year.

Fair point. I really am in wait in see mode, but I’ve always been a glass half full guy. Sometimes thats good, sometimes bad.

It's only a problem if we have a couple injuries. Carter and Rosa might be the new Todman and Dixon and Brewton and Houston are faster than both of them. I'm impressed that our depth is good enough to keep a talented back like Camryn Edwards at safety even with the loss of Knight.

247 2023 College Football Transfer Portal

From This is UConn Country Camp Recap:

“RB WILL KNIGHT ENTERED PORTAL

Transfer running back Will Knight has entered the portal, but it sounds like the door is open if he wanted to return.

“Unless he withdraws his name from the portal, right now he’s on the market a little bit,” Mora said after practice.”

Mora has more patience than most....it seems.

Well, at least the last guy.

Think that tells you the story right there

 

[Bongo Fury]

High risk recruit. Seemed successful. Darn

 

[DoctorWho85]

Yeah. I think this is why a lot of his former players speak so highly of him. He's a players coach and seems to really do what's best for the players in the end.

So, much like a professional whose team is shopping around, safe to assume UConn doesn't let him practice or do anything team related while he is in the portal?
