Text item: Text_1 The announcement that O'Connor will attend UMass-Amherst means that they will have a very interesting team next season. They had already signed Dan Gaffney (D) and Brian Regan (G) who were sixth and tenth round picks, respectively. In addition, I saw on Tony's summer league rosters that Dan Juden, another sixth round pick, would be attending UMass. Not bad for a second year program. On the other hand, they must be almost out of scholarships for the next few years. I remember seeing a quote last year from Mallen that he had given out 10 scholarships. I thought that was strange given the extraordinarily late start (he wasn't hired until the spring). Now, in addition to the four above, he has signed several other recruits. If most of this year's class is on scholarship he would be closing in on the maximum of 18. Then again, he did spend quite a few years at BC, so maybe that's not considered a problem :-) Jon
