UMass has released its 2006 recruit list . Welcome aboard to all the new UMass players!

Some points of interest:
  • 6 JUCO's
  • DL 1
  • OL 2
  • DB 4
  • TE 2
  • LB 2
  • K/p 1
  • WR 3
  • RB 1
Some initial comments:

  1. During the build-up to the recruiting season, it was speculated that UMass most needed help on the OL/DL. With only 1 defensive lineman and two OL in this recruiting class, it would be likely that UMass is not done with recruiting.
  2. 6 JUCO's are probably a UMass record.
  3. The list does not count Tim Washington, the transfer from Syracuse.
