Monday--May 7, 2012

I was looking at potential reinforcements for this coming season. The UMass Spring roster has eleven redshirt freshmen. The list is offense-heavy.

Offense:

• Jamie Casselbery OL
• Dan Foesel TE
• Brandon Howard TE
• T.J Keefer WR
• Elgin Long WR
• John McGrath TE
• John Wallace OL
• Mike Wegzyn QB
• Jamal Wilson RB

 Defense:

• Iric Harris DB
• Trey Seals DL
• Randal Jette DB

In addition, we have a transfer:

• Jerome Lewis  TE

With Rob Blanchflower, who went 18-206 1 TD in 2011 this group is TE heavy. Dan Foesel was the only three star recruit in last year's class. It will be interesting to see how Coach Molnar incorporates tight ends into the spread offense.

ESPN Boston has an aticle from Mass High School Football Coaches Annual Combine. The story has information about a number of recruits UMass has either offered or is interested in.

OT, but Coach Cal has his own website (natch!), and he has an article where he talks about his "any team, any time" approach when he was at UMass.

We had a comment with information about the players UMass has offered to at the Hun School, but Blogger has apparently vaporized it. If whoever wrote it will try again, I will try a second time to post the comment.
