Ridder is a beast. He has the potential to be really special.
Glad to see uconn living up to their normal expectations of being awful. Awful fans, program, school, etc...
And about to be in trouble again in basketball
Ok, uconn is even worse than I thought they could be... they are on par with that FCS school we played
I doubt he is even the starter next year.
Who do you see starting next year ?
I think Ben Bryant will be the starter for 4 years. I think he will red shirt this year and take over next year.
This is a ridiculous claim.

I think it is far more likely that he transfers than him starting next year when our current starter is a redshirt freshman that is 5-0 in his first 5 games and is currently 18th in the country in passer rating with 8 passing td's to 1 pick and additional 250 yards on the ground along with 3 touchdowns. Unfortunately for Bryant, it looks like he may have one year to start assuming Ridder stays healthy (which admittedly is a big if).
His stats are good however the level of competition has been awful. I understand he can't control that. If the team continues its success throughout the rest of the schedule I think your point is valid if not I think there will be an open competition next year.
I just don't understand the general sentiment. Like you said, he can't control who he has played so far and he has basically been one of the best in the country. Everyone always wants something new, but I'm not sure what more you could possibly want out of Dez. He stats would be even more ridiculous if he had been able to play the entire game against Alabama A&M. Ridder was 9/10 with 3TDs and 200 yards. Bryant was 6/8 with a pick and 50 yards.
