If he makes catches like that in games there will be a place for him!

Spring game came away impressed as heck with McDonald. He looked his best today.

Zion looks good with quicker decisions.

Maine QB transfer struggled but has best looking spiral deep ball

I heard from a guy I know who coaches FCS and scouted him that McDonald is the real deal.

Yes good to know because while admittedly limited eval he looked like a strong arm. Accurate and quick release.

He had one td throw I was a few ft away and very few qbs on our roster be able to make that throw. Threaded needle with speed and accuracy.

Now here we have a very astute, thoughtful, young man.
Not only his knowledge of the game but also the depth of his thinking about the team and what everyone's role is on each play.
If he was very impressed with the growth of so many parts of the team I'm really excited to see how the season plays out!

I only watched on the live stream, but McDonald looked confident and very accurate. Got his throws off quickly and didn't stare down one receiver as some of our QB's have been known to.

Who got hurt? I didn't have a program, didn't look good.

Who got hurt? I didn't have a program, didn't look good.

Malcolm Bell #14 DB got hurt late but got up, seemed to be ok.

Linebacker John Bechtle got hurt, looked like a knee strain.

I thank UConn for doing this but here is a couple or take aways. I miss the old full game scrimmages, but if they are going to do this explain it more than just on the video board, what exactly are these drills? I may be old but the loud rap music the entire time was annoying and wish there was a play by play guy just explaining the drills that were going on. Also what is the status of Ta'Quan, he was suited up and did not play.

Still rehabbing from his knee injury… should be good to go for summer/fall camp.

Norwalk CT repped! Great seeing Cam perform out there.

Goals accomplished......

1. No major injuries in spring and Roberson rehab went well.

2. Depth chart refined and first batch of transfers gone.

Expectations for each player of what is required between now and start of Fall camp should be clear.

Of the QBs who played today ZT seemed to have the edge. But the passing games continues to avoid the middle of the field. Almost everything goes to the sidelines.

Travis Jones reshaped his body to get ready for his final year, it looks like C. Haynes is attempting to do the same. Great to see.

I didn’t like the low and high snaps from fortin at center. Yakiri did pretty well from what I saw off the stream, but if he can put on at least 10-15 more pounds, he should be solid.
