UConn signed 20 new players today in what Randy Edsall is calling "probably the most athletic class" he's ever recruited.

Although the Huskies' haul is yet again ranked at the bottom of the conference, the team was able to pick up its most three-stars (9) ever and five defensive backs to help out what could be an even worse unit than last year after the losses of three starters and one pseudo starter in Jasper Howard, Robert Vaughn, Reggie McClain and Aaron Bagsby.
