Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4014374, member: 2504"] In the past there have been approximately 45 or 46 players on the UConn roster during the fall ball season. Can't say for certain, but from what I remember that seems to be a fairly consistent number each fall season. Don't know if the 35 man spring season roster will once again be expanded due to the pandemic, but in a normal year a bunch of players end up getting cut from the team to get down to the 35. Usually there are 3 or 4 redshirted players who aren't officially on the playing roster, but get listed on the spring roster effectively making them part of the team even if they are unable to play. I've tended to refer to these guys as the UConn baseball taxi squad. To my count, UConn has 20 recruits joining the program (currently including Owen Kellington, who has not announced yet any decision on going pro), and there are also 9 guys who were listed on the website roster who did not play last season (some due to injury or being ineligible to play) who apparently are still with the team (no report on their transferring or leaving, at least not yet). You never know, but a few more newbies could show up on the fall ball roster as well. Fall ball could very well be very crowded. [/QUOTE]
