Welcome Dylan! Nice offer list including Oklahoma, Tennessee, Boston College, Wake Forest, and Indiana. I love Georgia recruits. At 6'1" nice size.

Great to get good news about anything these days... Welcome Dylan... Oklahoma and Tennessee!!!! Both of whom are now recruiting really well...
In less sanguine football news, Anthony Fauci is saying he doesn't see how football can be played this Fall unless it's "in a bubble" as the NBA is talking about doing...football is the "perfect setup" to spread the virus due to close contact on every play.
I think his remarks were targeted at the NFL (not entirely clear), but it will be interesting to see how college presidents squirm their way out of this one, because they they want the TV money in the worst kind of way...

A 4 star offensive lineman that Duke is considering moving to tight end. I like the idea of 4 star offensive linemen playing offensive line.

Well, last year we had a very suspect OL, but took a reasonably touted freshmen OT recruit (gelotte) and put him at tight end. Then we reversed course and put him back at OT this year. Now we're talking about
taking a VERY highly rated OT prospect and moving him...I'm with Bob, OT has not been a position of strength for us, let's build up some depth at OT before we manufacture more tight ends..
Our offensive line coaching has been poor the last few years, perhaps the new OL coach will fix things..
