Over the years, Coach Ken Barger has developed a relationship with the UConn coaching staff, and he shared his thoughts on the program.

I currently have the starting fullback, Reuben Frank, there. I love how they academically push the kids and I love the facilities. I love how hard they coach the kids. UConn has a chance to be a special place again and anytime they have a young man from Poughkeepsie that they like, I will make sure that they have everything they need on the young man. They are committed to doing things the right way."
