I would assume Penders and Coach Mac have a big board on pitchers and if they redshirt someone, they feel that it will be worth it down the road. Or he could have had a small injury that would have kept him out of the lineup for a part of the season so then it made sense to redshirt. In any...

Lose 1 game in BET and then what happens? Can't trust anyone who pitched today. That is our biggest problem unless Schild comes back or Ellison comes back and pitches much better.

I was into Wrestling until 2002 and came back into it as a way to do something with my son. The story lines now are long term drama series quality in some instances. Their will always be gimmick acts, but the Wrestling in some instances has become secondary. That said, the UConn logo, the...

His Dad was a great recruiter when he was here. I feel older now that his kid is here!

If we want to move the needle, we need to take out one or more of Maryland, Duke, Wake of Cuse. More ACC teams we can beat, the more attention will be drawn to UConn football from conference hq.

Two ways to look at this from Penders viewpoint: Use this to get guys prepared for BET and NCAA - which hasn't been par for his course for years, go to Quinn who hasn't had good results the last 2 times out, Van Emon who hasn't pitched well in a while, Sullivan, Carea, Cinella, Ellison and...

Hurley and UConn broke St John's by winning two straight and putting winning over $$.

My concern is that our RPI is dropping as is the conference RPI. The Northeastern game is important for a road win against a team with a good rpi. Then, we must win at least 2 of 3 from Creighton and sweep Butler to at least give us a shot at the at-large in case we don't win the BET like last...

I heard a story about a H.S. recruit we had a few years ago who was drafted. Penders and staff spoke to the scouts to get a feel where he would be drafted so they knew where they stood with the player. Well, a team took the player early (after saying they wouldn't) and UConn lost the recruit...

Fun game to watch. A couple of observations: 1) Cooke had good control, although his velocity tapered down a little after 2 innings. 2) The at bats were generally good. Different hero every game. 3) up 8-1, I thought it was over. We had beaten Villanova handily for 2 days straight and with...

I will be there tomorrow as well. Hope it is warm out!

I have had season tickets since Elliot opened. Crowd was good today, not many students, though. Tough part is when the weather gets better, the kids are just about done with school. It is a fun experience and I hope all of you get a chance to get out there.

Finally got to Elliot today. Some thoughts: 1) batters worked counts much better than a few weeks ago. 2) when Coe has command, he is tough to square up. Coming down the stretch, he is pitching as well as he has ever pitched. 3) Malcolm does not shorten up with 2 strikes. He let's it rip...

Richmond and Desmond Claude do NOT fit our offense. We saw what limited offensive players accomplished in Hurley's early years.

I played in a pick up game and didn't realize Earl Kelley was on my team. Told him I'll play point. We won, and it wasn't because of me.

Spoke with a colleague who is a big Dayton guy. They lost their point guard early in the season and needed to add ballhandling into the starting line up. That is why Brea came off the bench. He played a lot anyway, but I wouldn't worry about why he did not start.

He had his 4 yrs here and graduated.

If Minick can get going, that will give Penders more options moving forward and can help solidify 3B for next few years hopefully

I used to hang out with him when he lived in West Hartford. He was a great guy and while he was a Johnnie through and through, he appreciated UConn. He was truly loved by so many people.

Would you rather have Brea, Claude, Boogie Fland or Hausen in the back court if you could choose one?

I disagree regarding Mora's approach. The D was better in 22, but Turner was so limited we couldn't do much on offense. Last yr, we couldn't run as effectively AND the defense was worse, Roberson was just getting the rust off, so it was a cocktail of bad. We have no idea about our D, we need...

I think Sammis has the right philosophy. Sounds like he will adjust if teams load up the box. That surely beats running 2 plays straight into 9 in the box and then having a 3rd and long.

Crazy to think how this team underperformed early that an at large bid is even under consideration. For those of us who are faint of heart, let's just win the auto bid .

I remember the initial drawings for Gampel in the early to mid 1980's. It was slightly bigger than the field house. The politicians wanted to make sure we had to use the Hartford Civic Center. 8000 seats which was 2x times the size of the field house and half the size of the HCC. It was...

Mora is concentrating on what is most important. A winning program. There has been so much turnover year to year administratively, things had to change. His coaching staff composition has changed, and he needs to be CEO more than anything but this is the time the foundation is laid for next year.

The offensive wrinkle for tomorrow night!

Imagine if we were on ESPN and not Fox!

How many teams shoot 3's well in the Final Four in a domed stadium?

Buie and Langborg could give us problems, but they will get tired chasing our offense and our length will disrupt their offense.

I liked the game Dalena had. Going oppo, etc. That bodes well moving forward. 3rd base is a void right now. Padilla has been hurt and can't get in a rhythm and hopefully we will see Minnick take a step forward with more time and a little easier competition. Confidence can go a long way...

There are some giants in Bundesliga 2. I hope Schalke can regain its footing and eventually get back to competing in the Bundesliga. The talent that played there years ago was mind blowing.

Schild was consistently getting ahead on counts and mixed speeds well.

Sullivan and Cooke have not improved and look to have taken steps back. Injuries, etc look to be in play there. Ellison hasn't improved either at least yet from last year. Afthim has improved, but his body of work is so small, you can't tell. Quinn has improved but not yet to a big spot. We...

Watch his post game press conference. He was reserved and at the end he throws in something to the effect of Go Huskys and Go Rhody!!!

Let's compare facilities and then see what recruit picks UMass because of the Mac and Cheese conference over everything UConn has to offer.
