Will Chris Clendenen
Follow him here from Washington

Ian Swenson, Uguak, Travis Jones, Tahj, Gilmartin all finding their like buttons on twitter. This crew is hungry for a gym coach.

Also Ardell Brown giving a like. I increasingly get the feeling Ardell Brown (twitchy WR grad transfer prospect from Seton Hill) will be a part of the UConn future. We'll see.

PS - is this where the Chris Fraser money really went?? To a new DC coach and a pair of S&C coaches?

 

[UConnRock]

2019 CA QB holding UConn offer:

QB that will likely be a TE. Being recruited as a TE most places. Don't know if Edsall is dangling a shot at playing QB. Would be a great replacement for Davis as a pass catching TE

Seems like a very solid hire.

Northern Illinois next? !

Beats gridiron-less Northeastern, but King is a Stoughton native and a Maine alum.

Nice

But seriously. I bet he gets a big say in how the S&C facilities are renovated. I’m sure that helped with Randy’s pitch.

A New England guy who found success on the other coast. Welcome home Matt.

Are the football areas being renovated or are you referring to the new facilities for sports outside football?

From the Fraser $1m donation article:

>>Burton and Shenkman need new carpeting, technology, weight room equipment and projectors.<<

Not sure how much of a S&C faciility
renovation that means...
