Tuesday--March 7th, 2017

Since I've started this blog I've done quite a few posts (6,442 to be exact) many of them about recruiting. After reading all those recruit interviews, one common thread is  the players saying they're looking for a good academic school and a chance to play at a high level.

UMass is currently ranked  #27 out of 700 public universities.

Coach Whipple has coached in the Super Bowl. The Minutemen play a pro-set offense and use pro-style play nomenclature. The Minutemen's independent schedule allows players to go up against top competition (Tennessee, Mississippi State and BYU in 2017).

The Princeton Review ranks the UMass dining commons #1 in the nation.

Kinda makes me wonder what else recruits could want.
