Saw that tweet as well. I hope it's true, bc you can never have enough depth. We'll see what happens.

It does appear he may be back.

Dez just tweeted that he is back with the team!

One thing in his favor IMO for 13 is that Byron Jones will move to CB, opening up a slot at S on 2 deep

I don't know about that. Granted, he was a RS frosh last year.....but when he was pressed into duty there last year he really struggled. I like him at Safety personally. I have heard the staff is having the true frosh Marder take snaps at both positions this year. If anyone has the skill set for the CB on this year's roster, we need to get them over there now because next year we are razor thin at CB. I'd leave Jones and Brown right where they are for the next 3 years.

Not a big deal, but I actually think we are solid at CB with the two starters plus Mack and Stevenson. Jones could be moved to corner if there were a rash of injuries.

Wow. Four pages on the transfer of a 3rd string d-back. Never thought I'd see that...

I have been very impressed with how HCPP has handled the players who are having thoughts about leaving the program. It's a delicate situation and he seems to know exactly how to handle it.

Even though he's considered 3rd string this kid was quite visible ( if you look back at some of the media events we've had the past few years ... ) He provides the other side of football that we as fans don't pay too much attention to.

Sorry, the razor thin comment was meant for 2013 after Gratz & BWW leave.

And he's used on special teams a lot as well. I'm glad he's decided to come back.

... we can get to 4 pages here discussing whether the Rent's grass should be cut from endzone to endzone or sideline to sideline on the diagonal!

Looks like he's staying afterall: http://www.journalinquirer.com/articles/2012/08/21/sports/uconn/doc5033961a88eeb193337892.txt

I crossed him off my roster, in ink. Players really need to consider the condequences of their actions.
