Thursday--August 11, 2011

A new version of the 2011 UMass football roster is up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday's "Blue Shirt" winners were RB Alan Williams, WR Jesse Julmiste, and DB Antoine Tharpe (second award for Tharpe).

Video recap from Coach Morris and interview with the players here.

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

Matty V. has three stories on training camp:

He looks at position battles at WR mentioning Tom Gilson. Marken Michel, Elgin Long and Jarius Bentley. He also looks at RB's behind Jonathan Hernandez and mentions Alan Williams, Jamar Smith (good name) and Pitt transfer Chris Burns.

Matty has a story that features Gilson's journey from walk-on to possible starter.

Since Cary Correia has move from point guard to DB, Matty looks at where the rest of the basketball team would play.

The BC blog "BC Interruption" has Part II of their series on UMass' upgrade: "Can UMass Recruit?".

Yes Boston College, we can.

Chris Koepplin gets a mention in this story about the Pats training camp.

A number of links concerning Victor Cruz:

Cruz (as well as a number of other WR's) are on Eli's mind.

The Wall Street Journal says the Giants need Cruz as a slot receiver.

Steve Smith (good name), signed with the Eagles, so that opens another place for Cruz.
