UMass Football News--April 20th, 2019


Josh Walfish reports UMass will be playing real football including tackling during today's Spring game.

He also reports it'll be a big day for 2020 recruiting with a number of potential recruits in for the game. Josh also relates the Minutemen have commits from five recruits for 2020, which is one more than has been made public.

The way Josh phrases the potential use of the three or four remaining scholarships in 2019 indicates Bell is open to more transfers or JUCO players. Usually players look to transfer after their respective school's Spring game when they learn their position on the depth chart. I'd like to see all the additions land in defense, but offensive line is a position of need in 2019. See yesterday's blog post on my take.
