TB Sloan Russett played his HS football at Manchester,NH Central,before playing a season at a prep school,and I had a chance to see him play several times.IMHO,UMass got themselves a good one.He has good speed,and while not overly big,has the ability to run with power as well.I was always impressed with him and was hoping he'd sign with UNH.

Very nice class for UMass. A few ships are still available for some prime transfers. Don Brown is rebuilding on the fly. Coblyn is an interesting project. He could be a monster.
