MassLive reports Mike Hodges is retiring. The Blog and Mrs Blog join all UMass fans wishing Mike a great retirement. He has been a great advocate for UMass football and the University.

The UMass Daily Collegian reports on the first day of camp.
Anthony Chusano of the Collegian has a post on the Minutemen's defensive secondary.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dan also reports on incoming freshman kicker Michael Caggiano.
Caggiano's UMass bio. There's not many college football fanbases in the country where maybe the top discussed recruit is a kicker, but UMass fans really hope Caggiano is the solution to two years of misery. As we've discussed here many times, UMass finished at or near the bottom of the MAC in most kicking and punting stats. We had five close losses in 2014. Most football gurus believe special teams decide about a third of all contests. If any of the freshman players have an open door to be an impact player and four-year starter, it's Caggiano.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matty Vautour says Blake Frohnapfel has a stronger foundation this year. Matty also reports the coaching staff hope to have Andrew Verboys take over as holder on kicks.
