Yet another commitment today: Offensive tackle Richard Queen from Bergen Catholic, 6-4, 270lbs. Had an offer from future MAC opponent Central Michigan with more offers expected before he committed to us. Some nice quotes here:

As much as I don't want to jump ahead 7 months, be interesting how many of these guys actually sign to play at Umass. Ah.. the joys of FBS and the nerves of signing day

Great interview with football scout Matt Alkire (thanks to the guys at Maroon Musket):

Evaluates our class thus far and mentions that we are doing exceptionally well for a startup FBS program.

Very nice interview BG and nice things said about Coarch Molnar, UMass campus and being the Boise State in the East.

Those are the numbers I have seen. With the increased total number available, we must be shooting for 25 new players this year.

I have no idea if the coaches can coach, but I have to give them some serious props. A couple of the mid-major recruits profiled on XOFan, have Umass as one of their top choices. They like the coaches, the school, and the town. Coach Molnar has put together a staff that can recruit. The UConn game can't come fast enough

Suber seems like a guy who is pumped up and excited and that probably translates really well to recruits. He is a young guy who saw time on NFL rosters and even spent time as a scout for the Jags. I credit him as well as Molnar for a lot of our success on the recruiting trail but I am sure that others have had their hands in it as well. Let's hope some of them can come in and play immediately to help us adjust
