Morning after recruiting news

Well, the UMass Football Blog had it's second biggest day ever yesterday. Only the day before the National Championship game brought more visitors to the Blog.

Rumor has it that there were so much interest in National Signing Day both Rivals.com and Scout.com's servers crashed.

Be sure to watch the video interview of Coach Brown on the main UMass Athletic Dept page. It contains some interesting material. Brown said only two recruits who took a recruiting visit to UMass signed elsewhere...

The Springfield Republican has an article about UMass' recruits here . The UMass Collegian has an article here .

The Boston Herald has an article about recruits from UMass, Northeastern and Maine here.

The Milford Daily News has an article about some local recruits and quotes Minuteman Legend and Waltham football Coach, Paul Mayberry.

The Sun Chronicle has a recruiting article that includes a paragraph about UMass recruit Ryan Moreshead.

I'll post more links as they come up.

UPDATE: Matty Vautour has his take on the UMass recruits here . In non-recruiting news he states UMass assistant coach Bryan Smith has left for a position with the Jets. Also two offensive linemen Heath Heekin and Carlos Feliciano have left the program.

Also, former UMass running back Bryan Smith formerly reported to be re-joining the Minutemen will not attend UMass.

The Boston Globe has a post on where the various Eastern Mass players signed. If viewed after today, scroll to the February 7th post.
