Some New England football gossip

The New Haven Register has a UConn-centric Blog containing some news that tangentially effects UMass.

In the blog (scroll down) it has two stories about Brandon McLean who was dismissed by UConn for academics. He also has some off-the-field problems. The story describes him as "humble and soft spoken". The blog indicates he is interested in eventually transferring to UMass. Maybe some the former UConn players on the UMass squad put in a good word for him.

Notice also a story on how UConn screwed up the recruiting of Terrell Wilks, who ended up signing with CAA foe Villanova.
