UMass has released its 2006 recruit list . Welcome aboard to all the new UMass players!

Some points of interest:

• 6 JUCO's
• DL 1
• OL 2
• DB 4
• TE 2
• LB 2
• K/p 1
• WR 3
• RB 1

Some initial comments:

1. During the build-up to the recruiting season, it was speculated that UMass most needed help on the OL/DL. With only 1 defensive lineman and two OL in this recruiting class, it would be likely that UMass is not done with recruiting.
2. 6 JUCO's are probably a UMass record.
   
3. The list does not count Tim Washington, the transfer from Syracuse.
