Wonder if we'd take both he and East? Seems there's been a ton of big recent pub on East in the past week. On the surface, this has more of an underwhelming feel

It's easy to forget with what he did last year that it was only his 2nd year playing the position and he still has a TON of room for growth.

Didn’t we have a former DB artist, known as Prince? Sorry!

To think younger generations only knew the artist for his 80s hits.

No, he was a Gopher.

 

[CogDog]

Jeesh. Secondary has numbers now. Can’t help but think we’ll see a few transfers, no? Regardless, good pick up.

Looks like DBs and TEs are filling up the team...

Don't interpret this the wrong way . . . I continue to see posts from HS players saying they are blessed to receive an offer. Does that mean they are more committed than usual? Or is this like we see from BB players saying Illinois is in their Top 7?

I think it's just common courtesy to say you are happy about every offer.
