2020 Spring Practice is here (February 4 -> March 6th)

[Exit 4]

I thought Colin McCarthy was a defensive End?

We'll see how he develops. I put him inside for now so that I didn't have to make a fifth column. He seemed to be the most "inside" of the outside guys in the non two deep.

I'll be interested to see what Jaylon Jones - PWO from Houston has to say.

Excited about Swenson and Jones as part of the back end of the D..

 

[ktuck911]

I like Jonathan but he has had injuries since he is here and hasn't garnered the playing time due to that. If he has been passed by other guys that bodes well for the D line. I could see him as a pulling guard but really liked him on the DL. Not sure he can fill out to be an OT.

He was listed at 6'5 277lbs last year.. He's a got a few years left here.. I'm sure he'll be up to 300lbs in no time; especially as an OL....

Did they ever mention whether Polansky was coming in at OL or DL?

 

[gioff2323]

Yeah, plus the DL unit is the most crowded unit we have - which might look like this even after moving Pace to OL:

DE	15	1		Kevon Jones	Pierce DeVaughn (RS)	TJ Gardner (RS)	Marques Alexander*
DT				Travis Jones	Dalmonte Gourdine (RS)	Colin McCarthy	Jesse Polansky (fr-wo)
DT*				Caleb Thomas (RS)	Lwal Uguak	Justin Moore	Quay Evans
DE				Dillion Harris (SR/JUCO)	Eric Watts	Carter Hooper*	Nick Harris

didn’t we intro the 3-3-5 because we thought we couldn’t recruit DL?

Moving Pace to OL helps fill a depth need and balances out the numbers.

 

[Watchdog]

I haven’t watched the clip yet, but I will say this, reading the twitter leaves- I get the impression Gill is a WO they expect to contribute if he sticks around for his remaining eligibility.

Could he be the next Welker, Edelman or Amendola? At least size wise...............

Hey is Omar Fortt still on team? Thought he was one of our better defenders based on 3 year production. What about Jordan Morrison at stat position?

Yes, Omar is still here. He looked solid at the Signing Day event. This will be his year.

Micah Leon is throwing & done some 7-on-7, but is limited as he returns from shoulder surgery & has not taken snaps in 11-on-11 this spring

Final scholarship QB on roster, true freshman Jonathan Senecal, is at spring practice, but out until camp (knee surgery) #UConnFootball

I don't care who the QB is as long as we are matriculating down the field and scoring touchdowns with very few turnovers.

>>Moyseenko noted strengths of all three quarterbacks as well as areas where each can improve. Zergiotis had impressive moments but also sloppy ones last season. Krajewski “has a really good skillset" for the offense UConn wants to run but must find consistency. Leon is resilient and hard-working but hasn’t been tested in game situations. Even Jonathan Senecal, a freshman from Montreal who is recovering from a torn ACL, has impressed Moyseenko with his intelligence and competitiveness. <<

>With four-year starting tackle Matt Peart having graduated and four other key offensive linemen (Nino Leone, Cam DeGeorge, Stanley Hubbard and Robert Holmes) having left the program to transfer, the Huskies are left to sort through limited options up front. Returning starters Ryan Van Demark and Christian Haynes appear almost certain to man left tackle and right guard, respectively, come this fall, while Dylan Niedrowski looks likely to start at left guard.

That leaves two positions at which, if spring practices are an indication, competition could come down to a returning player and a junior-college transfer. At center, Peter Rooney is the returner, while Sidney Walker is the JuCo arrival. At right tackle, Chase Lundt is the returner, while Alexander Wyant is the newcomer. All four players have seen time with the first team this spring.<<

Amen

 

[mikedog10]

matriculating down the field

Sounds dirty.

 

[ktuck911]

DBs look bigger... which is GREAT... Paul's calves are diesel... We need that back end to come out and perform ... It's year 3 for a few of them now
