Spring Game and Recruiting Notes

(Marcel Shipp will play for the Alumni Team this Satruday at McGuirk/MassLive)

UMass sent out a press release regarding the Spring Game today and confirmed that a number of alumni will take part in the scrimmage.

The alumni team, which will include all-time great Marcel Shipp, will play the first half, and the second half will be intra-squad.

We also know that former UMass kicker, Matt Goldstein, will be out there. He has been tweeting about the game for a few weeks.

(UPDATE: Matt Vautour has an updated list of alumni.)

Speaking of all-time great alumni, the Maroon Musket will be at the game as well. I will be roaming around before the game, so if you want to talk about anything from Tampa recruiting to old Southwest war stories, come say hi.
