Reuben Frank, a 6-foot-2, 230-pound linebacker from Poughkeepsie (N.Y.) High School, confirmed Thursday that he has given the UConn football team an oral commitment. He is the second recruit to orally commit to UConn's 2010 freshman class. Yawin Smallwood, a 6-foot-4 linebacker from Worcester, committed on Wednesday. Frank said he had offers from Syracuse and Buffalo, but he chose UConn because it has been his "dream school" since visiting last spring. "I remember being up there last spring with my high school coach and I just fell in love with the place," Frank said. "The environment, the facilities, the intensity level the players had . . . I loved it. "But the way I was playing back then, I just didn't think I would be playing [at UConn] so when they called with an offer, I was really surprised." Frank had 92 tackles last season as a junior. He has a 3.4 grade point average and wants to major in criminal justice, hoping to become state trooper. "God forbid something happens to me and I'm never able to play again," he said. "UConn is a great academic school for me and the football program is just growing and growing. I really liked the coaches, too." BIG East TV GAMES UConn's home games against Louisville (Oct. 17) and Syracuse (Nov. 28) will both kick off at noon and be televised as the Big East Network Game of the Week (Ch. 59). With Thursday's announcement, three of the six starting times for games at Rentschler Field are known. In addition to the Louisville and Syracuse games, the Sept. 26 game against Rhode Island will begin at noon. Kickoff times for the other three home games are still to be announced: Sept. 12 vs. North Carolina, Oct. 31 vs. Rutgers and Dec. 5 vs. South Florida. The South Florida game will be televised on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. Other schedule information: UConn at Ohio University , Sept. 5, is a 7 p.m. game; UConn at Baylor, Sept. 19, is at 5 p.m; UConn at Notre Dame, Nov. 21, is at 2:30 p.m. There are no times for the road games at Pittsburgh (Oct. 10), West Virginia (Oct. 24) and Cincinnati (Oct. 7).
