^ It appears that Tristen did some homework before making his pick: "Umass has the most active DBs." Also, another win because of Isenberg.
"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."

Big day for #UMass yesterday with the commitment of Tristen Sion (@Tristen7k) but keep an eye for the upcoming commitment of his Rickards HS teammate Rico Watkins (@WatkinsRico2) too
Watkins also holds a Minutemen offer and the duo have talked about playing together in college
Tristen, Haston, LeBrun and others have been pretty active on social media putting in a good word for UMass with players they know. If we can get a couple more high level recruits maybe more will follow as they see a program on the rise.

Not sure where/when that was…

I delivered pizza from both Bell’s and the Amherst Tower. The Tower stayed open til 2 am on weekends to catch Pub customers with the munchies after 1.

Got to know some of the Pats during the summer of 1970. The team worked out on campus that year. Several players and their various entourages made their way to the Tower for a late night snack after the Pub closed! 8)
bells pizza was the best. They used to come around the dorms with small cheese pizzas for like 3 bucks. They’d sell out in minutes
No Whole Wheat Pizza was the best.

Could still get a large Bell’s Pizza for $5 in 1999.

I live near Boston so I'll rank the pizzas:
1) Parziale's in the North End
2) Town Spa Pizza in Stoughton
3) Pino's in Cleveland Circle

Must have pepperoni and anchovie's (only if salty kind, not bony)

Rico Watkins is official. The 2023 class is looking very solid.
