Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 5121020, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1858988379406237887[/MEDIA] -> [B]UConn-Syracuse connections[/B]: There are a number of connections between the regional rivals in addition to former Orangemen Hoeh and Bass. Syracuse has three players from Connecticut: DB Justin Barron (Rocky Hill), DB Davien Kerr (Bloomfield), and WR Nick Armentano (Westport). Michael Johnson, Syracuse’s co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, was on Jim Mora’s staff with the Atlanta Falcons coaching receivers and quarterbacks. UConn linebacker coach Siriki Diabate played at Syracuse and worked as a graduate assistant for the Orange from 2013-15. And Syracuse’s defensive backs coach Joe Shaefer was coaching at Iowa State at the same time as UConn defensive line coach Kenny McClendon. The two later coached together again at Youngstown State in 2020 and 2021. <- [/QUOTE]
