Funny josh maize story. About year and a half ago my basketball team needed a big guy. Had a Deerfield kid who brought Josh. He needed a pair of shorts I gave him my uconn shorts from my car. Was a great kid. Never got the shorts back. Hopefully it helps sway him to uconn.

You mean Worcester.

No, I lived there. Most of the people in Shrewsbury work inside 495.

But it doesn't matter in this case. Windsor is close enough to Storrs that a kid who "wants to get away from mom and dad" isn't going to UConn. Same with a kid in Shrewsbury going to BC.

You're right that it really doesn't apply to your original point, but Shrewsbury shares a border with Worcester and is separated from Boston by at least 6 towns (Northboro...where I grew up and lived for 18-22 years depending on how you measure), Westboro, Southboro, Framingham, Natick, and Newton off the top of my head traveling east on 9). IMHO, it really is a stretch to call Shrewsbury a suburb of Boston, when it shares a border with the 2nd largest city (by population) in New England, is outside 495, and not in a neighboring county. Northboro just bare touches 495 and it is not a considered a Boston 'burb (Also in Worcester County). On the other hand, I used to deliver the Middles.e.x. Newspaper in my neighborhood. So there's that.

I know. I have friends in Northboro and lots of people there commute to Boston, almost all of them work in the Boston suburbs or the city. It's certainly considered a suburb of Boston to everyone I know. Hell, they have lots of people commuting to Boston from places like Whitinsville now, down 146. Home prices keeps pushing people further out. I'm in Franklin, further from Boston than Northboro is, and the Boston commuter rail has two stops in town.

It's just a perception thing I think, it doesn't matter. You still in the area?

No. I'm not. I went to UConn and got a job in Hartford upon graduation. That's why I said "depending on how you measure." I had a MA drivers' license until I was 26. I've been in CT ever since (Manchester and East Hampton). My parents and brother's family are up there, so I go back once or twice a month.

I did the reverse of sorts...grew up in Manchester.

There's not much happening except for visits. Be interesting to see who shows up on sidelines next two weeks based on high school game schedules.

247 is reporting that Erik Mueller has committed to Northwestern...

[Storrsbred]

Would be great if UConn could get more than several recruits that play the OL. Of course, 3 or so per year would be pretty sweet.

 

[Drew]

Do we have any word on guys lined up for OV's to any of the upcoming home games? Cincinnati and UCF are our two biggest opportunities left before we have a Friday night versus Temple (hard with guys having games) and the late season game versus Tulane (can't envision a good crowd for this one)

Josh Maize supposedly has an OV set up. I just don't know the date.
