March Madness turned into March sadness at UConn. The UConn Women joined the men and the rest of us as Final Four couch potatoes. Not to worry. This is a very young team and my guess (I know my predictions are terrible) is that they'll be in the Final Four next year. But let's focus on another positive thing we can all look forward to at UConn: Today's announcement that DJ Hernandez is moving from quarterback to wide receiver.

To me, this is a great move and not because I don't think DJ wouldn't have been successful at Q.B. I know I am in the minority. But I do think DJ had the potential to be a good college, and I emphasize college, quarterback. He has all of the intangibles you want in a leader and is one of the best athletes on the team.

But it really doesn't matter now what kind of quarterback I think DJ could have been. His move to me signifies that the coaching staff is confident that either redshirt sophomore Dennis Brown or Junior College transfer Tyler Lorenzen can get the job at quarterback. It also gives DJ a chance to get on the field at wide out. With all due respect to UConn's receiving corps, which is young and inexperienced, I think that position is the biggest weakness on the team. I predict DJ ends up a starter by mid-season at the very latest.

Remember Keron Henry. He was a q.b. at UConn as well and ended up at wide out and in some NFL camps. Do not forget about DJ Hernandez. Trust me. I saw this kid at Bristol Central as a running q.b. He is a sick athlete. And if UConn can get the ball in his hands, he will make things happen. And when he does, maybe some fans will finally leave him alone. He's a great kid, from a great family and now has a great opportunity to prove what a great football player he is at a position where the Huskies have a great need.
