Matakevich was never offered by Uconn and wanted to play here as well as Nastahowski. You say "kids are just not good enough" but Nastahowski emerged as Temple's best linebacker as a "True" Freshmen recording:
15 tackles, 19 tackles against U-Conn, 10 tackles, 10 tackles, 10 tackles, 8 tackles , 13 tackles, and 14 tackles... U-Conn thought he wasn't good enough!
From what I heard Natahowski was a better player than Matakevich at Milford, so Temple will have two great Connecticut players! If anything the reason they were not offered has to be grades not skill.
Oh well, as long as you heard this kid was better than Matekevich, we might as well all begin the process of bemoaning this incredible program killing moment.
