Tuesday--July 28th, 2015

Dan Malone reports on the three verbals UMass received at last weekend's Clam Bake. I blogged about the commits on Sunday.

MassLive starts the 2016 Minutemen datbase. As Dan points out, UMass has 27 seniors in 2015. This coming recruiting class should be large and influential over the next four years.

Dan continues his 2015 preview considering Tajae Sharpe and the wide receiver corps. Sharpe has a chance to re-write the Minutemen receiving records. He's got NFL size and his route-running and catching have all improved.

There'll be a real changing of the guard after this year as Jalen Wiliams, Bernard Davis, Elgin Long and Marken Michael are all seniors.

I think Shakur Nesmith, Darrien Josey and Lamarriel Taylor all have a chance to be the "X" receiver in 2016.
