Vautour vs. Goldstein picks Week 1

He still needs to be admitted to school, but UMass is the preferred destination of 6-foot-8 forward Luke Cothron.

Cothron, who is ranked among the top 17 power forwards in the country by ESPN, Rivals and Scout, had signed a letter of intent with Auburn. But Cothron didn't meet the NCAA's minimum eligibility requirements and the SEC doesn't allow nonqualifiers.

I've noted on numerous occasions that the listed heights and weights of college athletes are always to be taken with a grain of salt and used for amusement purposes only.

Sometimes I'm not sure if they even bother to measure.

I bring this up because wide receiver Dan Sheeran is listed at 211 pounds on UMass' two-deep chart. Why is that interesting? 

UMass released its first official depth chart for the 2010 season.

OFFENSE

WR - JULIAN TALLEY - Dan Sheeran

LT - NICK SPELLER - Vincent Westcarr

LG - GREG NILAND - Anthony Dima

C - JOHN IHNE - Quinton Sales

RG - BRIAN OSTASZEWSKI OR JOSH SAMUDA

RT - STEPHANE MILHELM - Sean O'Connor

The New York Giants place wide receiver Sinorice Moss on injured reserve, strengthening Victor Cruz's chances of sticking.

I've seen cut lists from Pittsburgh and NY Giants and so far Brandon London and Cruz have survived first cuts.
