Saturday--February 4th, 2012

Thanks to the commenter who pointed out that Julian Talley is playing in  the Players All-Star Classic today.

Home page here.

Roster here (Talley's at the end).

Mocking the Draft says Talley has the best hands at the game.

The National Football post says Talley has stood out all week.

The 4:00pm Saturday game will be on some Cox and Comcast channels. Check your local listing.

Talley probably had his 2011 UMass numbers impacted by our QB troubles. I wonder how he would have done if Liam Coen had been throwing the ball for UMass. Or maybe Jeff Krohn. I think in Krohn's second year at UMass we had something like a dozen one minute or less scoring drives.

Matty V says with UMass' move to FBS, players like Victor Cruz and James Ihedigbo won't be anomalies in the future.

Cruz and Ihedigbo have been creating a buzz for UMass athletics.

Jeff Thomas reports that former UMass assistant coach Guido Falbo has been named HC at RPI.

Chade Hunte was supposed to take recruit Vondell Langston to Antonio's during his recruiting visit. He forgot him.

ESPN says UMass loaded up on recruits for the transition to FBS football. Quote from the article:

Langston, a product of one of the Northeast's most successful programs, is considered a top sleeper by ESPNU.
