Sorry so late, was at Randy Smith's wake and then I made sure I was going to stay away from work for tonight. You never know what life brings, make sure your spend time with your family.
Here is a quick update. Tyler Lorenzen is never going to play a spring game for UConn. The senior QB is out for Saturday with an ankle sprain. He wasn't at practice on Thursday, he and D.J. Hernandez were accepting an academic award.
I think it's a good thing. Tyler doesn't need the practice time, and it's not like he is building any chemistry with the wide receivers.
Zach Frazer finally gets his chance. He hasn't played a game in two years and I am eager to see him throw. Frazer is dying to play, he knows this is his last chance and he knows if Tyler goes down next season the team is his (at this point I don't think Endres is close to Lorenzen).
As far as depth of the team, last year Matt Vollono is the No. 2 QB and now it's Cody Endres. I dont' know about you, but that's progress. I am not sure I pick Vollono in a game in my backyard. The kid next door has a pretty good arm.
Looks like good weather. Tailgating looks good.
My Blue and white prediction?
No. 1 defense beats No. 1 offense 21-7.
Draft Day nears: I talked with Tyvon Branch, Danny Lansanah and Dan Davis briefly. They are all excited. Branch is calm, he knows he is getting taken and I suspect first 3 rounds. Lansanah is a bit nervous. He knows he is going to end up in camp with someone, but there is an outside shot he is taken late. Dan Davis is likely a camp invitee. He is playing all over. He has worked out with teams at defensive tackle, defensive end, and get this -- linebacker. Davis has been looked at as a 3-4 linebacker. He has slimmed down somewhat to 275. He is going to get an invite if he shows he can be versatile or project somewhere else, why wouldn't he make a practice squad?
I think Davis should try the offensive line to be honest.
