    That's almost comical. I don't know if it says more about the era or that he wants to see if his price goes up.

    He knows we need another edge. Maybe he's at discount price if we wait until the end of the season.

    Honest question: Is this currently our only DT for the upcoming recruiting year?

    Not good. 1 DT recruit with a popped ACL (and who knows what else once they get in there to clean it up). I know that young ppl recover much more quickly than old farts like myself, but a popped ligament is at least a 6-9 month recovery. He'll be lucky to be full go for Fall practice in 2026.

    I tore my quad tendon(s) in 2020. I had surgery July 6 and didn't get discharged from PT until end of March the next year and I sure wasn't full go on that knee at that moment, but I'm no athlete beyond jogging. That tendon is still tight and the leg is weaker than the other one.
