Mike Traini of"Fight Massachusetts" has a position review of the Minutemen running backs. The apparent loss of Jonathan White has reduced the UMass RB corps to two recruited scholarship backs.
Kay'Ron Adams and Ellis Merriweather will be the 1-2 punch.
This is a thin unit. Most FBS teams carry a lot more than two recruited backs. Eastern Michigan, which is far from the best team we will play this year, has five (three three-star and two two star) RB's.
Issaih Agnew-Beatty, a 5-8 190 RB from Marlboro, MA is new to the roster. Hudl.com has some HS highlights.
Romeo Holden, 5-10 210 pound RB transfer from Monmouth is also on the roster. Averaged 6.2 yards/carry at Monmouth.

UConn has a TV package through CBS sports, so the UMass-UConn game should be available to UMass fans outside of New England.
