Go Victor Cruz and the Giants

If P insinuates one more time that he has been in a rebuilding mode to upgrade talent in the program I am going to kick the dog. Burns my fat ass that these idiots have duckked this thing up to the extent they have. We should have been bowling the last two seasons and, instead, this season we turned Towson into USC.

Fortunately I'm not bitter or angry...........

There are players missing for UConn, so I don't think this is up to date.

Nick Williams, Kashif Moore among others. Unless that list doesn't count practice squad people.

Looks like it's for the 53man roster only.

I'd like to know what the source is. If it's ESPN, they list some cut players and practice squad players under colleges, but not UConn's.

What's the source?

I was assuming it's ESPN. I crossed referenced Michigan's side and none of the practice squad guys were listed but maybe it's not updated for all colleges.

I didn't look hard. Found Kamar Aiken listed under Central Florida. He was in Patriots camp and was cut.

The source is ESPN and I think there are some minor issues with the lists. So, some colleges may be plus or minus a couple. Still doesn't take away from the fact that UCONN has produced a similar amount of NFL talent as the other FBS college teams.

Wait, West Virginia is in the northeast now?

they were always aligned with the Eastern Independents before the Big East took on football

No talent

And we are better than Rutgers.

Connecticut Homegrown Talent in the NFL: 20 players--Aaron Hernandez was 21 (idiot)
