I feel the same. The solution has been reached: the program is recruiting a lot of WR talent and it's been paying off handsomely. If you can get a talented TE, sure, but the staff needs to stick with what's working and recruit TEs with the expectation that they likely will be blocking most of the time.
What if I told you there was ANOTHER shark that just so happens to be a TE coach AND that’s related to this shark …

This one makes me very happy. I actually like both signings today. We are set at Receiver.
Our quarterback must be happy.

So I'm guessing we're done with receivers in the portal?
None of those guys are coming here with the expectation of being the no doubt #1 in the receiver room, and that we won’t add anyone. We’re too good to not upgrade, Stepp is crushing it.

I get it. Yes if you can get a stud go for it but they don’t have to be the focal point of the passing game. Barry does a really good job of picking his spots to get guys like Arkin the ball. Redzone, off split zone bluffs, RPOs, leaks, PA.Fair … But is it too much to ask that I want both my friend …

I would think so. We got a player with over 700 yards receiving and over 600 return yards last year, and now we get another WR with over 800 yards receiving and 9 TD's. I think we are fine now.

it will be interesting to see how true frosh D Grant is deployed. his frame can carry a lot more mass. he might get on the field quicker as a pass catching TE
Depends if you want other positions on the roster or not

Now, let's finish up the D-line. That area still scares me.

holding the line on the Olano outlay may have pushed us over the top with Perry (and others)

So Barry Lunney is staying? Or is Looney our new OC?
Good pick up. Also a very good basketball player. I wonder if he may join the team as a practice player or even play. He was 5a all state in Fl.. Must have wanted to play football more and went out to the Islands. TE, LB, and Dline is what we need. Will love to see what our freshmen Oline will offer along with Zafir Stewart. I am waiting to see what X will be doing. Was it actually reported what X's injury to his knee was? Beat Rutgers.
We’re going position less!
I am all ears……What if I told you there was ANOTHER shark that just so happens to be a TE coach AND that’s related to this shark …
