SNY's post break update from J.Silver

[the Blades]

The players returned to campus for workouts on June 2 and what happened made Diaco proud.
Quick update to wet the appetite:

Uconn may try to get Boyle's redshirt back:
"UConn needs to choose a quarterback, which will be done no later than two weeks before the season begins with Chandler
Whitmer and Casey Cochran the odds on favorite with Tim Boyle taking a redshirt year a live option. Kivon Taylor is also
there as a third-string quarterback. Diaco had high praise for Boyle, but that redshirt year is valuable.

2 OL starters with the inside track:
The offensive line remains is the biggest issue with C Alex Mateas and LT Richard Levy the only clear starters
right now. (and former starter) Gus Cruz is back in the fold at guard. He had some cardiac issues and missed
second half of last season and all of spring.

DB's looking good:
Defensively, secondary is loaded with Byron Jones and Obi Melinfowu at corner and strong safety. Jhavon Williams
is an excellent and physical corner and Andrew Adams is the guy making all the calls on D. That's a big strength.
