http://www.masslive.com/umassfootba...ighs_sha-ki_holines.html#incart_river_default -- There is a jump to the Maroon Musket article in this link.

>>The Springfield, Mass. native committed to the Minutemen back in July 2012 but later flipped to the University of Connecticut. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound recruit was the first to decommit from Charley Molnar's 2013 class.

In a strange twist, Holines has changed his mind again, and will play football at the University of Massachusetts. Charley Molnar made the announcement today, and a source told the Maroon Musket about the news last night.

Holines was at UConn's fall camp for "a week or two" and "had his high school coach contact (UMass)" in order to get a release from his Letter of Intent, according to the source. Per NCAA recruiting rules, Holines will have to sit out this year, but he enrolled at UMass on Monday and began practicing with the team yesterday.<<

When did classes begin at UMass? How do you enroll in late September?

Late registration? Some schools allow up to two weeks after the start of the semester.

Last day for registration @ UMass was 9/16. Initial article said this was "on-going for a month".

This kid has been gone since the first few weeks of camp and we're just finding this out now?

Hope he enjoys trips to WMU, CMU, EMU, etc.

Still on the roster as of 15 minutes ago

He was definitely @ the last open practice which was 8/18 - wonder when he actually left?
