Today's New Haven Register said that Chazz has enrolled @ CCSU and has already taken courses. Unfortunately he is academically ineligible to play this year. His grades were okay, but his S.A.Ts were not high enough to qualify. The Register's source for this story is the Hillhouse coach. Chazz had the prep school option available but, as he had earned credits during the summer session, chose to stay here. According to the article Howie cannot comment on Chazz, since he is still considered "a potential recruit." The Hillhouse coach really praised Howie and also Chazz's decision to play here. Chazz has enrolled for fall courses and could be declared eligible for the 07/08 season if he meets the academic requirements. Thanks to Dan Dempsey for tipping us off to this article.

That's good news. All sources indicated he was comming to CCSU, and the lack of official info seemed to be becasue of NCAA issues. I think its great he took summer classes to help his academics. Great for Howie and the team to build that relationship, even if he decieds to prep.

Just one question, if he were to take classes at Central in the fall, does he lose a year of eligibility? In essence can he officaly sign with CCSU and just redshirt this year? I think he is what you call a "partial qualifier" which means he could play in the second semeseter (January)if his grades are good.

Larry, FYI - I think the indoor/practice facilities for UConn football were paid with private donatations. Very little, if any, public money went to their training facilities. The Rent however, was a $94 million gift from Connecticut taxpayers!

Thanks for the info on the UCONN indoor facility. I thought the Burton family only paid about 10% and the rest was all state.

Now...does CCSU have any rich alum?????
