Vechery at 6'6" was not a ideal center size wise for college and I thought he did OK. He will be a nice tool to have in reserve. With Peart it must be a foot speed/quickness thing which is important against fast D-ends/LB's. Levy at guard with a mean attitude could help the run game.

Vechery's experience from playing center last season will serve him well as a guard or back up center.

UConn Expects Big Things On Football Field From LT Matt Peart (Des)
http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-football/hc-uconn-football-0327-20160326-story.html

>>When Peart's arms lock out on the defenders and his base is right, forget it, he doesn't move. He'll rock from side to side controlling his man; he may bend but it is hard to break Peart, who is gaining much experience this spring in preparation for the season.

"He's very talented, very skilled and very athletic for his size," offensive line coach Mike Cummings said. "He came in here at 263 pounds and he's at 297 or 300 right now. Matt Balis [UConn strength and conditioning coordinator] has done a really nice job with him, but it's really the combination of his athleticism and his size and his toughness — and he's very smart. It's fun to coach a guy like that, and he cares a lot. He's not just out here trying to run plays and knock somebody down; he understands the schemes very well."<<
 
So much positivity coming out of camp this spring. I don't know if I can wait until 16th to see some sort of football. Where's my TARDIS?
 
I think it's safe to say we have never heard this kind of praise for a red shirt offensive lineman. Looking forward to seeing what the hype is all about in a couple of Saturdays.

Hope there is a list of participants tor more photos of today's alumni session. Very curious to see who bled blue in person today. Great work, Coach Baylock!

What a great ambassador The Tank is for UConn! Awesome! But I wish I could get the video interviews from DC to play. Every one of them you posted here doesn't work for me. The others do. What's up with that? Do you have to be a Twitter follower of DC's? I stopped following him because of all the political stuff he posts.

I love the stories about alumni coming back and getting some NFL guys in house to share some insight and motivation, but with that being said, it would be nice if someone would actually write about the players and progress. The best tidbit so far that I've seen has been the YouTube clip of diaco. Fuller usually does a great write up but he's traveling covering the women's tourney
 
Coach D does a great job trying to keep things from being a grind at practice. It was nice that these alums took the time to attend practice and share their thoughts and experience with the team. Big year coming!
 
P&W Stadium is looking great 10 days before the Blue-White game. Just need to lose those funny looking circular lines and rectangles.

US Women apparently scored a touchdown there today.

Simple fare this year for the Blue/White, just the basics to get out of the winter funk. Burgers, hot dogs and kielbasa dogs from Bogners... something to feed the crew and get them into the stadium. Snacks and some salads to round out the buffet.

If I get time this week, I may baconify some of it... bacon burgers, and some hot dog creation that includes bacon.
