The UMass website has an article about Anthony Nelson being named CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

UMass also had fourteen of the fifty-eight players on the CAA Academic All-Conference Team.

On offense: Emil Egwenagu, John Ihne, Mike Kahale, James Lizotte, Greg Niland, Ray Pendergast, Dan Sheeran, Ian Shultis, Caleb Violette and Ryan Young.

On Defense: Ryan Collins, Bill Nesselt, David Ramsden and Jeff Strait.

Last year four Minutemen were named to the Academic All-conference team.

The Sports Network has a list of recruits for all the CAA teams here.

UPDATE: The CAA football blog has a post that has links to the signing pages of all the CAA teams.

Tyrell Okoro, a 6-5 290 pd OL chose Morgan State over UMass and Maine.

The Feds have cracked down on free web video streaming sites including channellsurfing.net. That would impact the opportunity of out-of-town UMass fans to see the Minutemen.

Thanks to a Blog reader who brought this to my attention.
