Coach Whipple's last video to the Gridiron Club has some news. He said recruiting is going well. In addition, he says L.A. Love is joining the UMass football development office.

L.A. Love won letters in 2001, 2003 and 2004 as a LB and DE for the Minutemen. He previously worked with the University of Arkansas and Texas Tech.

I blogged about him back in 2005.

In 2003, when UMass played at Kansas State, Mrs Blog and I sat with a bunch of L.A. Love's relatives who had made the trip up from Texas to see him play..
