PFF says we have the only two returning P5 OTs with 85.0+ pass-blocking grades Both were 3-stars in recruiting Warehime came from UH with Herman and got official recruiting credit for both -- Cosmi decommitted rom UH while Kerstetter decommitted from Okie Light
Yeah I think it was Terrance cook. Isn't he a linebacker and I thought he was coming to the good guys.
Jaden Alexis also got bumped up to a 4-star by ESPN Football Recruiting - Jaden Alexis - Player Profiles - ESPN

What does the recruiting dead period have to do with whether we play football this season? I think we are trending to having a season, even a full season. Of course if we have a serious uptick in CV cases or deaths that trend could be derailed.
How can we not have an uptick. Houston SMSA has about 6 million people, of which a couple of hundred thousand have been tested. Texas has 28 million people and less than 2 million have be tested. If mandatory testing makes it through the courts, there will be a huge spike. Personally, I don't see mandatory testing becoming a realty as the politicians would have to give up their "friendships" with the (shall we say) less than stellar testing centers.
One would hope. I am still skeptical without sufficient accurate testing on the front lines of medical care facilities that there will be sufficient and accurate tests for football programs. One infection and it is a two week quarantine for everybody. That is a serious disruption for which no one is planning presently. Personally, with insufficient safeguards and controls in place, I wish the season were postponed until the spring when it should be more likely to be completed.
One has to keep in mind the number to watch is positive cases as a percentage of available hospital beds; not just the number of reported positive cases. As long as there are enough hospital beds to contain the uptick there will not be another shutdown. We went to a burger place by in SMU on Monday and no one under 30 was wearing a mask (including a couple and their two children under 6). Afterward, we drove through Highland Park Villiage; it was packed and not a mask to be seen.
Regarding the two posts immediately above, I can tell you from the front lines that while the availability of testing has greatly increased, it's still not where it needs to be given how open everything has become. Also, while the availability of hospital beds may be relevant to keeping things open, there are still going to be a significant number of deaths regardless of how many hospital beds are available.
Yes, but those deaths that will statistically occur will be a result of a fractional risk of getting this virus times the fractional risk of dying from it as it inevitably permeates our society, and not deaths added to that number because of a failing to be able to treat properly (as best we can) those who contract the virus. Testing is really irrelevant to that inevitable march of exposure through the society. It’s interesting, and helps us learn a lot about what to expect, but it has no relevance to the ultimate death count; again, so long as our health care system can process the numbers and keep the maximum triage effect of saving who can be saved.
That ProKick facility has turned itself into quite the punter factory. "For only $10k, we can get your son a full ride to a good 4-year university in the US"
