First day in pads, and a bit of car advice
Paul Pasqualoni hasn’t shied away from his philosophy on a running backs. Running backs are meant to carry the ball, and the more the carries the better. Lyle McCombs, all 5-8, 170 pounds of him, was used like dump truck for the Huskies last season as the Staten Island native averaged 4.2 yards per carry [...]
Brandon gone
Junior CB Tevrin Brandon is no longer in school. It’s a university disciplinary issue and it hurts the depth of the huskies. He had 6 tackles last year and was a second string player.
Spring begins
The first spring practice was in the books and after coach Paul Pasqualoni held his interviews with the media, and the other requested players did their media thing everyone started to head out. I found myself looking around for a couple of players and coaches that I missed, naturally Casey Cochran was the first on [...]
Temple on its way
The final drop of expansion for now is Temple to the Big East. I liked this all along, and puts football back in Pa. Not a great schedule in 2012 for huskies with umass, nc state, buffalo, temple, pitt and cincy the schedule. As far as UConn, this puts major pressure on Paul Pasqualoni. Temple [...]
Jerome Junior suspended, leaves school
The school announced that S Jerome Junior was suspended from the team and is no enrolled in the school. Curious occurrences since the semester is half over, but Junior won’t be back for 2012. University isn’t publicly commenting on the matters. So where does that leave the secondary? Surprisingly, despite the fact he was the [...]
WVU departures impact
It’s been rumored for some time and now it’s complete — WVU is out of the Big East after 21 years for $20 million. This leaves the Big East at seven teams and blows a hole in UConn’s home schedule. The conference has to find an 8th member and if it’s not Boise State, then [...]
Day after roster thoughts
Had a chance to sleep on the recruiting class and one thing that jumped out for the Huskies to me on signing day was the amount of linebackers Paul Pasqualoni brought in. The Huskies brought in three highly-regarded linebackers in Omaine Stephens, Jason Sylva and Jonathan Hicks. That goes with last year’s highly regarded recruits [...]
Recruiting roundup
I am not dwelling on ranking. the absurdity in parsing the difference between a 2-3 star player is silly. I don’t think it’s material. Here’s the Huskies list and here are some initial thoughts I have. Here’s the question for the Huskies — Did they get what they needed? To a certain extent. The Huskies [...]
Huskies hire Shane Day as QB coach
Huskies went back to the NFL to get a coach. Former Chicago Bears QB coach Shane Day takes over for Joe Moorhead. I don’t have an opinion oh him, but it’s a nice resume for a young coach so far. Here’s UConn’s release. Conn Athletic Communications – January 24, 2012 – Shane Day STORRS, [...]
Navy to join Big East
Navy is coming to the Big east, the conference will hold a call today to announce the move. This is a major move for the Big East and it’s going to trigger the increased exit fee out of the Big East. I imagine that happens now, but I am sure we will get a clarification. [...]
