Raymond Cottrell to the transfer portal
- Thread starter BGWentworth
- Start date
And the dude didn't even play for Calipari!
I was excited when we got him, but if he doesn't want to be here, then so long!
That’s kind of strange just come for a few months…. Guess he didn’t fit into Hamden’s offense.
Some guys are transferring over and over fishing for more money. This guy signed with TxAM so I’m sure he got paid. He’s probably looking for more money.
Hopefully this is a sign he’s buried on the depth chart, but as others have stated he could very well be fishing for more NIL $$$$.
No ill will towards the young man but I want guys who want to play for UK.
We never heard anything about him from spring practice, so he wasn’t making a difference.
This kid was committed to UGA out of HS, was set to sign with us in spite of FSU and Miami trying to flip him for months. Then a week before early signing day he tells the staff he wants to be an EE. Only problem was we had no more room for another EE. So he signs with ATM, there less than a year, transfers to UK and less than 4 months later moving again. Kid has some potential but sure looks like someone is giving him some bad advice. Or maybe he thinks he should be rocketing to top of depth charts.
Best of luck on future endeavors
Any schools NIL operation that promised to pay him a bunch of money would be pretty incompetent. Barely played at a&m. Didn't challenge for 1st string at UK spring practices.
Hey if he & his handlers secured a bag somewhere else props to them for playing this broken system

All you can do is shake your head, kid seems mixed up or confused about where he wants to be. With his history of moving around, he might have trouble finding a place to play and be happy. I'd be Leery of him, how could you count on him after all this.

UK is the 4th school he's been attached to since he graduated HS and he's only played 3 games. Now on to his 5th. I have no inside information on this, but looking at his resume, one can get a picture.
Given the news of some younger talent, his transfer is hardly surprising!
True but need to get Maclin on the field and working with BV. Maclin is a thousand yard receiver, will be a key part of the O.
Well, I guess he left for playing time and not NIL because UConn is broke I've read. And UConn football is the pits. Silly move.
Really isn't a high demand for portal wide recievers who have never played a snap of college football
When it comes to the portal former high school ranking from recruiting services are thrown out the window. Coaches want guys who have actual CFB tape. Have proven they can actually play on this level.

I am not sure if its Cottrell going to UConn but doesn't appear to be. But whoever is helping him with his career decisions is doing a very good job. He was committed to UF and flipped to UGA, then a week before Dec signing day decides he wants to be an EE. UGA didn't have an opening for another EE, so he flips again to ATM, things didn't go as planned so he enters the portal and ends up at UK, Only to hit the portal again 3 months later. Now he is visiting ASU, a program kids are scrambling to leave. Just seems like he has a history of snap decisions without looking at depth charts, schemes or anything that would affect his playing time.
