To say that Jim Mora Jr. is starting from scratch at UConn is to put things mildly—this is a program that has won only 11 games since the beginning of the 2016 season, and one that has little in the way of history of fertile recruiting ground to draw from as it attempts to climb out of the depths of despair.
The Huskies are independent these days, which probably doesn’t help, but may be just as well: they went 0-8 in each of their last two seasons in the AAC.
They’re going to need to get lucky at some point, namely by finding a quarterback good enough to cover for flaws elsewhere, just to begin to approach being competitive again.
