->"We moved Cale (Millen) before spring ball,” UConn coach Jim Mora said. “He is a 6-3, 210-pound player who is one of the more athletic and faster guys on our team (Millen) and I had a talk about where he can help us the most,” Mora said. “I think he can do some things for us on defense, certainly on special teams, and I think he can do things on offense as well. We are just giving him the spring to work on defense.” <-

->“Whether that is as a wild cat quarterback, a slot receiver,” Mora said. “He is too big, fast and athletic not to find a place to play. He can do a lot of things.”

While Millen has not played defense since before high school, he has had experience on special teams dating back to his time at Northern Arizona.

"I think they see my athleticism, they see the flashes and they are just trying to give me a chance to play," Millen said. "It is a lot of different movements and stuff that I am getting used to. But it has been really fun, I like being part of the defensive backs." <-

I’m excited about Noah Plack, granted just from his college highlights reel.

Wonder how he’s doing in Spring ball.

At 233[bs from 215 at Delaware. Branch listed at LB after playing some DE last year. He didn't care as long as it was a rush position.
Odd the number of players at 233lbs.
 
Our current 2nd level on D seems to pretty much have a weight range of 229 to 233 lbs... I still see Branch as being more of a OLB/DE(rush edge type) at 254lbs....

It was nice to see. Bigger and remaining mobile. The 233 just came up a number of times.

THis is a heck of a thing to say about Randy Edsall.

“I just saw a change in attitude, man,” he said. “I watched a game from two years back when coach Mora was not the head coach, you could see the energy on the sideline is different, the passion people have for the game is much greater than what it used to be.”
 
Sitting in the stands for the Purdue game, the 1st Spanos game after Edsall was axed, we looked like a dead program walking. The only juice in that stadium was on the Purdue side.

@huskymedic got an alternate link?
