TheRoundUp 8/31: We still don't have a date for the Fordham game

UConn Football Coach Paul Pasqualoni's Passion - Courant.com
UConn has 15 commitments for 2012 already, a number never reached at this point during the Randy Edsall era. A fascinating Pasqualoni recruit is the state's top player, Masuk-Monroe quarterback Casey Cochran, who would not have committed had Pasqualoni not been the coach.

But he is now the giant wave crashing into UConn's roster, which coach Jim Calhoun will undoubtedly and swiftly contract into nine, so Drummond, a greater post prospect than Hasheem Thabeet or Emeka Okafor, can make 10.
