1. Another clear example of hanging up on someone who doesn't share your opinion.
2. I have no problem Diaco's words. They are hyperbole; but, they get to the essence of what this is: a Football team than represents a University & the State of Connecticut. It's our identity & we can take pride. It separates us from BC or Cuse. And we wear it differently than Rutgers. That's my truth.
3. New England Football gets overlooked. Edsall repeatedly found gems in odd NE towns. A bunch of these kids - maybe 10 a year - could be solid roster additions. That wouldn't happen at ... Some other higher level schools. Talent is raw & Diaco is making an effort to build this way. Not a huge applause; but he deserves credit for initiative. Edsall - IMO - proved this path. And actually gave some scholarships to kids who would have PWO.
If we sent Kendall Reyes, Anthony Sherman, Scott Lutrus & Brian Leonard (from where I am today - Gouverneur, NY) to a Rutgers combine with 4 star HS studs that have many offers, you guys would all take the 4 stars. A REAL good analytics guy in football with a good eye may well have taken all of the first 4. This is a debate you will rage on forever. And you never see the point.
