Senior Day and transfers

Nailed it ..from Mike Anthony article:
" The mass exodus continues. About 20 percent of the roster, most taking to Twitter for thanks-and-goodbye messages, is headed out the door early.........That’s absurd, even in today’s college football transfer portal reality. It’s a bad look for a program that has been nothing but a bad look on and off the field for several years now. It’s on Randy Edsall not just to turn around a program that was losing big before his return and is losing bigger since. It is on him to change the entire feel and tone of a production that has become so, so sour. No one wants to hear excuses anymore. Enough blame has circulated. The complaints about kids are tired. We all know the obstacles Edsall has been presented with........but it’s still a job he should embrace with the approach of someone who actually enjoys that job and enjoys people, period......Tuesday press conferences can’t be time spent bemoaning the current state of being. Saturdays can’t continue to be embarrassing. There are no more Bob Diaco holdovers to blame, tacitly or explicitly. There’s been way too much of that already.....It is clear that Edsall and most Diaco recruits had little or no use for one another........That’s unfortunate, perhaps irresponsible. Have you seen the way Dan Hurley interacts with and defends his players? I’m not sure he would even recruit Alterique Gilbert, but Gilbert is on his team and there’s a bond there that is unbreakable....The way Edsall has, at times, talked about players borders on disdain.......Many of them played sparingly at UConn and the argument could even be made that the sheer volume of this departure wave actually accelerates a process by opening scholarships and pushing Edsall recruits to the top of an always-undisclosed depth chart. (good one Mike...;))........ But something has to change even before the results do. The tone has to change. UConn football has to feel good again — for those involved and those watching — before it can win again."
