A lot has changed since UConn opened its 2016 campaign with what would end up being Bob Diaco’s last Spring Game.
An unlikely, but necessary, change at head coach occurred and since then excitement has actually built up to a dull roar—a pretty impressive accomplishment for Athletic Director David Benedict given how the 2016 season ended.
Randy Edsall’s hire on its own did not inspire tons of hope, but Edsall gained some valuable experience in his time away from Storrs and it showed with his coordinator hires. Offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee and defensive coordinator Billy Crocker bring aggressive, modern styles which will attract recruits and fans alike.
