-Congratulations to SunTrust Athlete of the Morning Ryan Bonheyo. Bonheyo became the first ever athlete from the Maryland School for the Deaf to earn a full scholarship to a Division 1 school when his commitment to Towson became official yesterday. Rob Ambrose told Drew this morning he was interested in Bonheyo coming to UConn; so this athlete must be truly special.
Talk to you tomorrow.
