Losing a player that accounted for 47% of the offense in Noel Thomas is never easy. However, for as bad as the UConn Huskies’ offense was last season, there is plenty of talent in the receiving corps and the group may benefit from spreading it around a bit more. They just need some of it to mature rather quickly.
Meanwhile, the tight end position was essentially relegated to a third tackle last season despite the Huskies having two great athletes at the position. They will arguably be the biggest beneficiaries of Rhett Lashlee’s new offense this year.
