Unfortunately, for the first time in years, I will not be able to attend. The revised event should be fun with a chance to interact with the players and the coaching staff. Maybe some blog reader will send us a report.
At the practice I attended, it was noticeable there were not a lot of players on the offensive and defensive lines. IMHO, there will be a higher than normal number of 2019 recruits who won't redshirt.
Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" also has a post on Saturday's event.

Long time blog readers will remember I've been a amateur astronomer most of my life. The recent first ever imaging of a black hole was a major event in astronomy. The UMass Large Millimeter Telescope was part of the consortium that accomplished this feat. The UMass Media Relations office released a story about UMass' participation.
I've blogged about the University's Large Millimeter Telescope before.
