Bicknell is probably the highest profile coach mentioned in the UMass coaching search. Recruits won't know him, of course, but their coaches will.
UPDATE: UMass will interview Bicknell this weekend. Matty Vautour also reports on some other coaches not mentioned before.
UPDATE II: Matty Vautour mentions that McCutcheon has met with or spoken with a number of coaches recently. I've published links for Jack Bicknell, Jr, Mark D'Onofrio, Neal Brown, Tom Gilmore, Kevin Morris and Tom Masaella (scroll down). New to the mix are:
- Geroge Barlow, DC James Madison
- Frank Hickson, RB Coach Liberty
Would we be interested in Iowa QB Jake Christensen? He's transferring.
Former Louisville QB Matt Simms is also available .

Speaking of recruiting Utah, which did not have a recruiting class rated higher than #55 in the last five years, finished second in most FBS rankings.
