Merry UCONN Football Christmas Day!

[NYUConn]

Unfortunately Northern Virginia has basically morphed in to DC and Maryland. In all the worst ways.

LOL what?

I think the three PWO have a real chance of securing a schollie. Welcome aboard.

Agreed and we might consider doing whatever it takes to keep them sooner rather than later.

How many scholarsip athletes do we currently have and are we under the limit at this time?

 

[businesslawyer]

I don't have an exact count (I stopped being careful with my records the last 2 years of PGDL) but if we're short of 85 it's not by more than 2 or 3.

If you have extra schollies, they won't go to incoming frosh pwo -- they'll go first to the upperclassmen who've earned them. Guys brought in as walk ons like Wain and Vitale and Marinan.

#UConnFootball will be adding Tim King, a 6-4, 335-pound nose tackle as a preferred walk-on, in Class of '16 will likely be an OL tho
