    I would wait and see who is coaching next year.

    Did I mention Derrick Dooley should be available next year

    Just about everyone that we bring in is on the small side.
    Bigger players with less raw talent will dominate smaller guys with better athletic ability. Any ACC, B1G, SEC team will just push us around. Not impressed with talent level coming in. Looking more like a MAC program every day.

      Compared to Lyle McCoombs this kid is a monster.
      Has anyone seen or heard from Joe Williams or Deshon Fox lately as RB’s for UCONN? Do we need to form a search party?

    hey dez considering we need more beef up front on offense, and since I think I still have 4 years college eligibility left because I never went to college, and if I hit the chinese buffet hard between now and signing day, would I have a chance? I’m all up for gaining another 100 pounds or so

    Do we ever get any interest from 4 or 5 star recruits? Just askin…

    Sounds like another ‘exception’ at running back. I guess he’s got some room to fill out, though.

    Dez – Any word if there are going to be issues with Dhameer Bradley coming out of Eastern Christian with the circus that is going on down there? I can see an NCAA red-flag all over this one with the addition of athletic issues on top of the unique academic environment but thus far have not heard anything.

    Can he suit up for Friday’s game vs Syr?

    suppose its always good to have RB’s but how about some stud OL’s? certainly would consider that a primary need. and those kids might play sooner than later.

    and what do you think about an update on the top 10 CT,NJ and NY high school football recruits and their current committment status? would make for some intersting comments I’m sure.

    D-1 is a lot different than high school but I must say this kid does not go down easy. The lady in the background is better than play by play. @ around a minute in. Then again on the last play a run back.

    A good chuckle on a season when we need one. Welcome to the pack Josh.

      Kid runs hard! Welcome Josh. Doesn’t look undersized at all to me. Should play at close to 200lbs.

    Dez,

    thanks for the update. BTW, he is from VA, not CA. Keep up the good work
