A video that shows UConn baseball doing practice, some of it done at the inside football practice facility.

So when do we get the Chris Jones interview with Penders telling us about the players and whom we go into the year relying upon?

In the past, I have quite enjoyed listening to the interviews Chris Jones did with the UConn baseball coaching staff talking about the players on the team prior to the start of the season. Considering the season starts for UConn baseball on Friday, it would seem that if these interviews do happen again, it would seem that the interviews would have to get posted on Twitter the next few days before the 1st game takes place. We'll see if it happens as it has in the past.
