Some really low mid level programs except for UWGB which hasn’t been too strong lately. Hard to figure. Oh well…. It doesn’t really matter since if the shoe doesn’t fit you just slide into the portal black hole. That’s the reality.

Go Rockets!

Each school has their attractions, I get that. College of Charleston is a party school. They had a mumps breakout just a couple years ago. I didn't even know mumps still existed. With all the new things we can catch, now I got to worry about mumps?

yup, had one 3 years ago at my daughter's high school. there was also a big deadly measles outbreak in 2019. Both were primarily the result of unvaccinated children who didn't get the standard MMR vax. as for mumps it can cause serious testicular issues in boys, which I hope is a reason to be vaccinated.

As for recruits, it depends on who the staff is really after. I think Ben Roy was a primary recruit by his official visit. East Coast White kid, so choosing a respected smaller East Coast private school over a Midwest public school was what I was expecting. I'd also assume Tavari Johnson who chose Akron was a primary target as he had a visit set at UT and was getting good buzz on the recruiting circuit. I liked both of em as well as ELmore James (OU) and Jevaughn Hannah (WMU) and chubby PF Danny Wolf (UT offered but doesn't seem to be on his short list). So, I'm out of hopes for another early signee. Perhaps, there's a couple good ones we don't know about.
