Welcome to the Pound Mr Gillespie!

Every deserving, in-state talent we get is more than OK in my book

Just another fence post in keeping Connecticut kids home.

Welcome, Khyon.

I'd suggest the equipment managers get prototyping a helmet immediately.

I am curious if he is coming in as a cornerback or a running back? He looked good at both and like the committment.

I'm sure the staff loves the versatility.

Looks like a nice get. He changes speed and direction well. Put on a about 20 lbs and he should be very good for us.

20 pounds and he is getting into safety territory. No matter what they call him right now, that could change in the next couple of years.

Welcome to Storrs Khyon

He is shifty (then again, so was Reggie McClain), I'd like to see how he fares at RB. Needs to put on 12-20 pounds of solid mass and he'll have the size to compete. He looks like he dose not shy away from contact either - has a couple of nice blocks and big hits.

Those are what the kid's call "skinny jeans" from what I hear. Even more impressive!

Tight as and still could use a belt to hold them up! But, I can't make fun. I used to think cuffing my jeans and wearing wrestling shoes was a good look when I patrolled campus.
