Mike Traini has a post about New York RB Xavier Lee decommitting from UMass.
This leaves an already thin position at UMass really undermanned. The Minutemen only have two recruited RB's on the roster: Ellis Merriweather and Jared Cole.
WR Cam Roberson has functioned at the lead RB in a number of games.
Roberson is a senior and Merriweather is a junior.
UMass could try to add a JUCO or a transfer. Because of COVID and the new transfer rule there are an unprecedented number of transfers available.
The run game was probably the weakest section of the Minutemen team in 2020. Fixing that should be a top priority for the coaching staff.
