Dumped some pictures from the Alumni Event I came across in the "Spring Practice 2016 begins on March 9 ends April 16 w/ Blue White Game" thread but this is a bit more extensive of a review:

<<Diaco said inviting alumni gives them insight into the program they helped to build. "Although it's definitely an outreach piece, part of it is selfish," Diaco said. "It's for our team. It's good for our team, the current team. They had a nice morning but our team had a chance to be around the guys that built this house, this winning, successful, first-class championship house and they get a chance to bridge that tradition."<<
>>It shouldn't be surprising that Moore, a dazzling, 5-foot-9 receiver, spent his time watching the receivers, especially 6-5 Aaron McLean and Frank Battle. "Yeah, we didn't have anything like them when I was here," Moore said. "There's definitely a size change here. They have a new, great receivers' coach [Erik Campbell from Michigan] who brings a lot of knowledge of that position." Noel Thomas, who will be a senior and is the Huskies leading returning receiver, noticed Moore. "They built this for us," Thomas said. "Now we're just trying to carry on, especially guys like Kashif Moore who I was talking to. He is a great guy. He was coaching me up on the sideline. I appreciated that." Connecting, Diaco said, is what it's all about.<<
