The UMass Blog certainly welcomes Ryan Bamford to UMass. I hope he is wildly successful in Amherst, stays six years and is then offered a multi-million dollar contract as A.D in a Power Five school.

He really needs to shake things up at UMass. I hope he receives the support he needs from the school administration and from UMass alums. We are currently punching under our weight in a number of sports. I think UMass is one of the nation's top public universities. In athletics, we should be able to perform at the level of other Group-of-Five schools.

Let's Go UMass!

UMass will hold its Pro Day March 30th.
