From what I remember, last year baseball released a 37 man roster shortly after spring semester started. They released the 35 man final roster a few days before the season actually started.

That's something that really has to change. I follow the ECSU team as well since I have a HS classmate that plays for them, and their official roster has been up for at least a month.

I certainly agree with you. Many schools post a fall baseball roster on their websites, and then update it for the spring season. UConn needs to get back to this. UConn baseball also needs to start issuing a fall press release on the players that are new to the team. I don't remember the last time that UConn baseball did this.

Ah, something to chew on besides my idle speculation.

One of the other cuts from the fall roster is C/OF Jason D'Andrea. Does anyone with a bit of time on their hands and a copy of the fall roster handy mind picking out the other two?

Matt Laveneziana and Joe Maselli, both freshmen. D'Andrea was on last year's fall ball roster as well.

Many thanks. I am in between computers right now, so the copy of the fall roster I had saved doesn't exist anymore. I know we've already mentioned the ridiculous delay in the publication of the spring roster, but I fail to see why they couldn't post the fall roster on the website if they were handing it out at the alumni game.

To tell the truth, they weren't handing out the roster at the alumni game. I saw one of the worker's with one, and I asked if I could have a copy.

Also, OUTSTANDING news to see Ryan Radue listed on the roster. I'm guessing that his family wants to keep things private seeing as there haven't been too many updates on his condition, and I respect that. But if he is well enough to be playing this season, that is so, so awesome.

Not all baseball transfers have to sit out a year.

They also take up roster space if they do, E.J. Levenberry on the football team and Terry Larrier on the men's basketball team are listed in all forms of media from this season as rostered athletes, even though they aren't eligible to play until next year.

Agreed... but trust me.;)

(unless something changes drastically).

I believe NCAA rules do not allow for players who are cut from the 35 man roster to use UConn baseball practice facilities or to be able to practice with the team. If they want a transfer to able to do these things, he has to be on the 35 man roster. One of the other rules is that a player receiving athletic scholarship money be on the roster.

UConn baseball has posted a 38 man roster. The only difference from my quick glance from the Chris Jones one from yesterday is that Tyler Mitchell is no longer listed. So three more cuts will be made before opening day.

I admit to knowing next to nothing about Tyler Mitchell, but now you have me wondering if he will end up playing at Avery Point. Last year pitcher John Russell was on the UConn Storrs fall ball roster, but played in the spring season for the Pointers. Russell is still currently with this season's 38 man roster.
