Wednesday--August 12th, 2015

The UMass website has a video interview with new UMass AD Ryan Bamford. From a football point of view, the most important section is where Bamford says UMass will pay COA to scholarship athletes. As you remember, the MAC adopted that policy last winter. UMass football would face a tough recruiting challenge if most Group of Five conference were offering COA and the Minutemen were not. We will have enough problems playing an independent schedule.

Dan Malone has a story on the decision.

Matty Vautour also has a post on the decision.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan also has a preview on Akron. Zips head coach Terry Bowden has gone the transfer route since he became head coach. The Zips went 1-11 three straight years in 2010, 11 and 12. They went 5-7 in 2013 and 2014. Akron's defensive line will feature Jamal Marcus (Ohio State transfer), Rodney Cole (Iowa State transfer), SeVon Pittman (Ohio State transfer) and first-team All-Mac NT Cody Grice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan quote a Nj.com article that dismissed freshman Daiquan Kelly will join the Minutemen as a redshirt for 2015.

Matty Vautour also has a story on Kelly's dismissal and transfer. Matty says UMass has good insight into Kelley's situation as UMass linebackers coach Charles Walker coached for Penn State and Austin Whipple played for the Nittany Lions.

NJ.com article.

PennLive has a post.

I blogged about UMass recruiting Kelley back in 2013.

Kelley was rated a three-star player by 247Sports and the #9 overall rated player to come out of New Jersey in 2014.

Kelley could be an impact player for the Minutemen in the future. The UMass defense has been on the short side of recruiting numbers since we went FBS. That could be changing.

UMass Football News--Febuary 3rd, 2023

 The UMass Daily Collegian says Don Brown leaned heavily on the transfer portal for his second recruiting class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FBS Schedules reports UMass officially announces its 2023 schedule. 

UMass official announcement here.

2023 Football Schedule
Aug. 26     at New Mexico State 
Sept. 2     at Auburn 
Sept. 9      Miami (Ohio) 
Sept. 16     at Eastern Michigan 
Sept. 23     New Mexico 
Sept. 30     Arkansas State  
Oct. 7      Toledo 
Oct. 14      at Penn State  
Oct. 28     at Army 
Nov. 4     Merrimack 
Nov. 18     at Liberty 
Nov. 25     UConn  

UMass has two byes: Oct 21st after Penn State and November 11th after Merrimack. The bye after Penn State should help in recovery and bye after Merrimack comes before the last two games of the season and winning one of them would help morale.

The Minutemen should be competitive with New Mexico State, Miami (Ohio), Eastern Michigan, New Mexico, Arkansas State, Merrimack and UConn.

Toledo competes for the MAC crown nearly every year and Liberty should be (again) one to the Group-of-Five's top teams.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2023 opponent Merrimack adds Virginia-Lynchburg to its schedule.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Boston College fires their OL coach.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday--August 10th, 2016

Dan Malone has a very early look at projected starters. In 2016 the Minutemen signed their best ever recruiting class. There is just too much talent for some of them to be redshirted.

At RB, UMass only had two scholarship RB's on the roster. I expect one or both of Peytton Pickett and Bilal Ally to play this year.

At WR once we get beyond Jalen Williams and Shakur Nesmith, things look iffy. I would expect three-star recruits Brennon Dingle and Sadiq Palmer to get long looks.

TE was and is a talent hole in the Minutemen roster. Hopefully Penn State transfer Adam Breneman has some gas left in his tank, but true freshman Cody Banks and Avien Peah, both three star recruits have too much talent to sit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adam Aucoin of the Daily Collegian reports UMass looks for a balanced rushing attack this year.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile UMass has added six JUCO's the defensive roster. In the first four years, the defense was kinda the step child of recruiting. The recruiting mix usually ran about 60-40 in favor of offensive players. The UMass defense needed more bodies. This year UMass has added:

DaVone Hall DL
Rod Jones DL
Colbert Calhoun LB
Ali Ali-Musa DL
Teddy Lowery LB/S

New to the mix is Domenico Cipriani a 6-4 270 DL form IMG Academy Football.

Hudl.com has video on Cipriani.

Andrew Cyr of the UMass Daily Collegian says UMass adds size and depth for 2016.

Mike Traini has a post on Rod Jones joining the Minutemen and has some information on the other JUCO defensive players.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan has a post on Penn State transfer Adam Breneman. If he can stay healthy, it'll be a big boost to the Minutemen.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matty Vautour has a report on Sekai Lindsay and also mention freshman RB's Peytton Picket and Bilal Ally.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BC Interruption interviews Mike Traini on the state of the 2016 Minutemen.

The Columbia Daily Herald says Sharpe made two excellent plays in yesterday's camp.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Victor Cruz may not play in the Giants first preseason game due to "groin tightness".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Georgia Tech's Mike Bobinski seems to leaving for Purdue. Would the Wreck's make a run at Ryan Bamford? UMass could not match their finances.

Jarvis Miller, a 6-2 223 pound OLB from Penn State has Tweeted he will transfer to UMass as a graduate transfer.

247sports story here.

Victory Bell Rings has a short post on the transfer here.

Center Post Times has a story about Miller's transfer here.

Onward State has a note on Miller's transfer to the Minutemen.

OLB is a position UMass where we could use some help and depth. Hopefully Miller will have an outstanding year in 2019. He played in 33 games for Penn State. Recorded 23 tackles, 1 SACK, 1 FF.

FBS to FCS transfers

So far, we have not heard any news about UMass getting any FBS/I-A transfers in the spring semester.

Lots of activity elsewhere in in the Division.

• Towson gets a QB from New Mexico
• Delaware gets a QB from Ohio State.
• Georgia Southern gets three I-A transfers.
• Hampton has six transfers.
• Howard has an inspiring transfer.
• Norfolk State has a Penn State transfer.

UPDATE: Samford adds a QB.

UPDATE II: Another article on Ohio State QB Henton.

UPDATE III: Indiana State (0-11 last year) adds a QB who had 11 police citations in eighteen months at his last school.

UPDATE IV: Appalachian State gets a VA Tech transfer.

UPDATE V: Duquesne has a QB from Michigan State.

Thursday--July 17th, 2014

Penn State transfer Alex Kenny is the subject of Dan Malone's latest installment of his UMass Top-25 players for 2014.

Kenney's UMass bio.

As Dan points out, last year the Minutemen had Tajae Sharpe as a WR threat, but not much else. It will be interesting to see if Whipple can integrate all that speed Kenney possesses into the passing offense. If UMass has a deep threat that opposing defenses have to respect, it would open up the shorter stuff.

I hope Blake Fronapfel will be able to call when in a "21" personnel-- two RB's and a TE: "I Weak Right 639"!

Harris is in the I, the fullback sets up on the Weak Side, Tajae runs a curl, the TE runs an out and Alex (the "Z" receiver) runs a "9" route (Fly)....

Recruiting 2014-- Alex Kenney

Image credit unknown

Central PA.com reports, channeling Bob McGovern, that Alex Kenney, a fifth year senior WR from Penn State will transfer to UMass.

State College.com has more.

Was going to run indoor track for Penn State. Quote from the article:" While in high school Kenney, was a 14-time Pennsylvania state track medalist, finishing second in the 100 meters (:10.63) and third in the 200 (:21.42) at the 2010 State Championships. He also set a state indoor record in the 60 meters (:6.80) in 2010. Kenney left State College Area High School having set seven school track and field records."

Also ran back kicks for the Nittiany Lions.

Was a Rivals four-star recruit back in 2009.

Suynday--April 22nd, 2012

Dan Malone looks at possible future NFL Draft candidates from UMass. Dan mentions Penn State transfer Alex Kenney. If Kenney has NFL dreams, he needs to have a monster year. Like Michael Cox, he arrives without a lot of miles on his body, so the potential is there.

SB Nation keeps an eye on the situation here. One thing to note that I think has not been mentioned much is that the players have until 2013 to transfer. The recruiting games for Nittiany Lion players will probably continue for some time.

UMass Football News--December 28th, 2019

UMass currently has 27 commits listed in the 247Sports 2020 Minutemen recruiting page.

The NCAA currently allows 25 scholarships per year. A couple of the listed recruits may blue shirt and Spring arrivals can be added to the 2019 recruiting class if it did not exceed the limit (and I don't think it did). Nevertheless, it would seem the 2020 class is mostly complete.

A small number of scholarships are probably still available. The 2020 transfer portal could be one option to try to add immediate help to the 2020 class.

One area of need that has not yet received a lot of recruiting help is linebacker.

UMass did not recruit any LB's in the 2019 class. In 2018 (Whipple's last class) UMass signed three LB's of whom only DaShon Ross is still with the team. The 2020 class has two linebackers. That's effectively three linebackers in three years.

The transfer portal lists 75 linebackers (if I counted right) available. From the Northeast (where the coaching staff might be familiar with the player's history) 247Sports shows three portal linebackers from UConn, two from Pitt and one from Rutgers.

2019 Penn State transfer Jarvis Miller went 12-11 GP-GS 60 TT (fourth on the defense) 4.5 TFL and 1.0 SACKS.

It will be interesting to see if the coaching staff will try for any of the available transfer linebackers.

UMass Football News--April 19th, 2019

A couple of quotes from Josh Walfish's Twitter feed.

"Also wants to re-iterate that #UMass will play real football Saturday, just need to structure it in a way that keeps the Minutemen healthy for the summer. Numbers are thin along lines right now."

Also:

" Just spoke with Walt Bell. He's not going to add a quarterback from the transfer portal. Sticking with the two new QBs he's bringing and using final 3 or 4 scholarships to address bigger needs on the roster."

For the first time in years I will be unable to go to the Spring game. I would encourage all local UMass fans to make the effort to to out and see the team. I really enjoyed the practice I went to and I think most fans will get a kick out of interacting with the players and coaches. It'll be interesting to see the new spread offense too.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As to the second quote I would rank the Minutemen's needs for this year for the remaining scholarships as:

1. A defensive end. UMass did not have a pass rush in 2018 and coincidentally did not have a rush defensive end. They did recruit Xavier Gonsalves who will help. One of Bell's first recruits was DE Jaylin Bannerman, but one or both sides backed off on his coming to Amherst. UMass was next to last (#128) in the entire FBS division in sacks in 2018. For the Minutemen defense to improve we need a pass rush and some edge contain. Fixing the UMass defense will require more than one recruiting cycle, but a JUCO DE would probably make a measurable difference in 2019.

2. A running back. When Bell was hired, the Minutemen had no recruited running backs---as in zero. Bell was able to get Bilal Ally to return to the team and that would rank as one of his very best "recruits" this year. UMass also recruited three-star recruit Kevin Brown. Arkansas State where Coach Bell had his most success,  has five three-star running backs. We flat need more bodies in the offensive backfield.

3. A middle linebacker. UMass has not recruited a MLB in two years. Penn State transfer Jarvis Miller will likely start somewhere . In the practice I attended, UMass only  had about five or six linebackers on the field. The Minutemen need more size, speed and athleticism at this position.

4. A offensive lineman. Coach Bell has three OL recruits in the 2020 recruit class. Besides gray-shirt Helber Fagundes, who is already playing Spring Ball, UMass add freshmen Xavier Graham and Max Longman. Things will be better in 2020, but a JUCO or transfer offensive lineman would really help this year.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FYI, Steele ranks Colorado as #46, Temple at #61 and FIU at #103

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of Phil Steele he rates Penn State transfer Daiquan Kelly as a "very highly touted" player and had him ranked #55 in his linebacker recruiting list. The whole MAC conference only signed three VHT players in 2014.

Jordan Fredericks transfers to UMass

NBC Sports has a post on Fredericks landing in Amherst.

Fredericks' Orange bio.

Fredericks is a nice addition to the Minutemen team. He's the 2014 New York HS Gatorade Player-of-the-Year. Fredericks averaged over 5 yards a carry during his career in Syracuse. Hopefully, he'll be as successful at UMass as Penn State transfer Adam Breneman.

This is what UMass needs to do to succeed in talent-sparse New England. The Minutemen needs to exploit all the recruiting streams to build the talent level in Amherst.

Good catch by the UMass coaching staff. Go UMass!

UMass Football News--February 19th, 2018.

Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" has a post on 12 New Jersey players who made UV's to Amherst on the 17th.
