We should be getting more coverage towards the end of sprint practice from what I hear.... I think right now with basketball and day jobs there is a lot going on at the moment and football has been on the back burner. Thanks Medic for the snippets we do get!

Is that a go-cam on Welliver's helmet?

If I see Fagnano take another snap at UConn I'm done.

Let me help a little… the guys over @ Husky Football Forum:

UConn Football Pod: Lots of changes

UConn has brought in a bunch of new players and has new coordinators on both sides of the ball. How do we feel about all of this?

I thought this was a very good podcast.

Most interesting in the QB video is who is snapping the ball. I would assume these are the candidates for center.

Four were hiking to QBs: Mason Raymer (McDonald), Jake Kiernan (Welliver), Carsten Casady (Roberson), and Wes Hoeh (Fagnano). One was hiking to an assistant: Kyle Juergens.

Like most of, I was disappointed with the Fagnano saga and his performance last season, however I think you also have to give the kid alot of credit for coming back after the injury and competing again.

I don't want to hear that JF is competing with Roberson. Now if I heard CW and TR were competing, I'd be happier.

I agree we need to bring in a summer transfer to start

Give it time. Weliver is still getting lost finding his way from the locker room to the practice field. Five years ago he wouldn’t even be on campus yet.

 

[History Geek]

There’s not much there either…

Good point. I got nothing then. Good stuff from the guys from the New England Football Journal though.

Yeah because he was 13 years old

I thought Buckman was very good at receiver last year. I'm hoping for a lot from him this year.

I just don't want him returning punts again.

I'm a glass half empty with our production last year. Buckman was our top target out of all our WR's last year and was used to beat guys down the field one on one. Although he was productive, our results speak for themselves...I think he was completely miss used and should have been penned in as a slot receiver. We need a couple of true big bodied down field threats that can actually outrun CB's....Buckman has great hands but seems like he would be better suited for cross routes, which we almost never did. I just don't get our offensive play calling or strategy...outside of running almost every first and second down for the Oline it doesn't seem to set any of our players up for success.
