Have arrived at UConn FB practice. QB Donovan Williams now a WR.

Hope Diggs gets square.

Williams a WR says a lot.

LB Vontae Diggs (knee?) on the sidelines today.

Hopefully Diggs is okay and that it is just a knock instead of something bigger.

And Williams at WR??? Holy moly. Well, that might be the best thing for him if there is a huge line at QB in front of him. He seems to have the right size and speed and maybe he can make the most of it...

Williams still wearing #15.

Mike Anthony‏ @ManthonyCourant 13s 14 seconds ago
UConn's Donovan Williams is now a WR. Started 3 games at QB last yr, when Bob Diaco said he had as much ability as anyone in nation.

ThisIsUConnCountry‏ @MattSchonvisky 30s 31 seconds ago
Another interesting development: Donovan Williama working with the WR's, seems to be a 3 QB race between Shirreffs, Washington & Pindell

Seriously. Diggs may be our second best player on defense behind Fatukasi IMO.

Tuff short term hit w/ Diggs (on top of Levenberry)

Neill Ostrout‏ @NeillOstrout 7m 7 minutes ago
Diggs has a Grade 2 MCL tear in his left knee.

Neill Ostrout‏ @NeillOstrout 5m 5 minutes ago
Diggs hopeful he doesn't miss ANY games. Unlikely but possible. Getting knee scoped soon

Neill Ostrout‏ @NeillOstrout 56s 57 seconds ago
QB Jordan McAfee out with a concussion.

Neill Ostrout‏ @NeillOstrout 47s 47 seconds ago
Edsall said QB Donovan Williams came to him this morning and asked about a switch to WR. Today's practice his first as WR.

UConn LB Vontae Diggs out with knee injury , hopes to be back for season opener

ThisIsUConnCountry‏ @MattSchonvisky
C Ryan Crozier did not participate at practice today, but no worries, just a stomach issue-will be back in a day or two #UConnFootball

 

[uconnphil2016]

Surprised that there haven't been any tweets about which players are standing out or any kind of performance related stuff...

 

[uconndogs]

We may have some big problems at LB. No Lovenberry and now maybe Diggs is out. We will need a couple guys to step up.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Interesting thought--so, RE says that Donovan Williams came to him asking to switch to WR. Fair enough. Looking back, this actually makes Diaco's story from last year a bit more believable despite how absurd it sounded. Perhaps DW did walk into his office, approach him and ask to start.

As a philosophy major you should know better than to attempt to connect a real event in the Edsal era with a bogus event in the Diaco era.

I am 100% convinced that DW went into Diaco's office last year and asked to play...

... but Diaco should have been the adult and said "I appreciate your passion and desire to help the team but no thank you - you're not ready yet"

Most impressive play in practice came from CB @T_Bell4 who snatched a 50-50 ball for a pick in coverage against Hergy Mayala #UConnFootball

ThisIsUConnCountry‏ @MattSchonvisky 28m 28 minutes ago
Another true freshman WR, Cam Hairston had good day in red zone, displaying strong hands on pulling 2 TD's away from coverage #UConnFootball

ThisIsUConnCountry‏ @MattSchonvisky 24m 24 minutes ago
WR Garrison Burnett didn't have great day w/several drops, but had # of opps today because he has impressed HCRE in camp #UConnFootball

True freshman OL Ryan Van Demark rotated in at LT w/1's as Edsall described after practice: "we need to develop our depth." #UConnFootball

Oh, absolutely. But IIRC, many of us (including myself) wondered if the conversation had ever taken place at all. Diaco had just stated that DW would definitely redshirt and needed a story to justify changing his mind. So, we thought he created the story. This new development sorta backs up Diaco's claim. But again, I totally agree that Diaco is still scarily incompetent for heeding to DW's advice at that time.
