I watched the UAlbany football team practice on Wednesday, and couldn’t help but notice how much bigger and faster the team looked to me. Head Coach Greg Gattuso has done a great recruiting CAA caliber players, and we will find out how good they are on Friday when they open the season at New Hampshire. One big plus is Redshirt Sophomore quarterback Jeff Undercuffler already has plenty of experience under his belt, and the defense returns a number of starters from the 2019 season when they went 6-2 and won their first-ever FCS Playoff game.
In the above segment from Big Board Sports, Eric Hannmann and I discuss the spring opener for the Great Danes and the storylines going into the game. Here are some of the points that we touched upon:
The University of Albany Football team is waiting for a Spring 2021 kickoff to a delayed 2020 season but Early Signing Day still happens. The Great Danes added 10 signees on Early Signing Day and even though it s a class full of Team Captains and impressive players there s only one New Yorker. Coach Greg Gattuso shared the challenges facing teams recruiting high school athletes during this COVID-19 pandemic. You know I think it did hurt a lot of our kids in state this year. Coach Gattuso said Everyone is going to have scholarships available in the spring. It’s been a challenge. There have been no camps and we haven’t seen the kids we haven’t spent time with them which is tough. A lot of our recruiting has gone off of last year‘s tape which usually isn’t good enough. The one thing about this year is that a lot of these kids that we signed a really high up on our list when we first started and you don’t always get to pick from those guys in a normal recruiting cycle.
