To mimic some of the comments on here, I'm extremely surprise not to see Fort on the 2 deep. If it is because he is less experienced at safety and Canady is actually back, you would think he would jump back to corner and supercede Robertson, though if Robertson is that good, then awesome!
The other name I am missing here is Beach. Guy looks like an absolute monster. What is missing here?

Do we need a look-a-like thread, or has that run its course?

Some reading material on Idaho State, if anyone is anxious for some football.

Here we go again - yes science does change, because scientists/medical experts learn more, the more they study things. Those that are deniers will never be convinced otherwise, example "I'm waiting for CDC approval" is now "The CDC rushed their approval". Not going to get into it, but when someone throws out the old "99%+ survival rate" myth, their credibility ends right there.
Yes, the science changes. interesting that it changes back and forth multiple times on some of this stuff though. Also interesting when a supposed Dr's opinion changes to align with his political counterparts. If there was a different president in the White House, it would just be a different group of people screaming a different cry about this.
If you read my comments, its about as unbiased as it gets. Its the whole "I'm right, and you're wrong" mentality that is frustrating, and it comes from the extreme ends on both sides of the debate. My point was that with all of the different and conflicting information, guidelines, opinions we are being fed, it is no wonder there is confusion and hesitation throughout the population. Some choose to listen to one side, some choose to listen to the other side, some don't want to listen to anyone, because its all so conflicting. So who is right?
What I do find interesting, is that from traditional political standpoint ... often the more liberal folks are more passive with the standard immunizations for kids, and the more conservative side push getting kids vaccinated before they are school age. Whereas it is almost the exact opposite for Covid. I get there are different arguments for the whys and why nots, but I do find it interesting, and indicative of the depth to which this has become political.
Altogether, its a mess, and I don't know how anyone, let alone posters on a message board or social media can claim to be experts on this stuff.
But I digress, Football!!!

Masks and who knows what are coming
mostly because some folks are too stubborn to get a shot - thanks
I try to avoid these conversations because there are so many Covid experts.
We have been told masks don't work, then that they do work, then that they are mandated, then not required, then that they should be mandated again, and then again told it will not prevent the spread.
We have also been told to get vaccinated, but that we will still need to wear masks (*see above), even with the vaccine we should socially distance, and that we can still get and transmit Covid (this is not surprising, as with the flu the vaccine does not prevent the virus, but helps).
We are told to follow the science, though the science changes weekly, if not daily.
Throw in the Dr's opinions, politicians opinions, whatever Fauci's opinion is, and of course the social media opinions, and we wonder why there is a lack of trust in the system and what to do. Is this a public health crisis, or a struggle for political power and control? (its both).
For the record, I wore a mask when mandated, and am vaccinated, but find it incredibly arrogant when anyone assumes everyone should going to get vaccinated immediately without question and that everything will be fixed and go away. History tends to repeat itself, and some of the social impacts we are seeing are pretty troubling as well; some would say more so than a virus with around a 99%+ survival rate. That being said, I also don't think the issue is to be taken lightly, be smart and do what makes sense; but there is a balance between taking preventative measures and still living our lives. It doesn't have to be so black and white, or left and right; even though that is the case with almost everything these days.

He would never get approved for one because last year literally doesn’t count.
Got it, makes sense.

He wouldn’t even need a medical redshirt. Last year didn’t count, so this could be his normal redshirt season.
It could, but I would assume if he still wanted an additional year, he would qualify for it. But those medical redshirts always seem a little quirky.

I'd guess Smith will move into that back-up/3rd string spot but the problem is we don't have anyone behind Mitchell who has his skillset (which is more Skokna-like than Weah-like). Possible one of the WR's slides in to that type of role of lining up all over the field.
Keeping Weah and Skokna healthy just became that much more important.
Agreed, sounds like Smith looks much improved this year too, which is great. Such a bummer because I had always heard Mitchell really had that break away speed. I'll be interested to hear his prognosis if it comes out. Only positive out of this happening now, is that I would think he would qualify for a medical redshirt, but those rules always seem pretty fuzzy.

Big loss. He was going to be a contributor all over the field this year. Pretty bad break. Best wishes on a speedy recovery to him.
Will be interested to see if Ziebarth sees the field now

Owens to USD. That's a tough recruiting loss. Location was going to play against UND, but still. If the other offers are USD and ID St, you need to win that one.
I know he is listed as RB in the wiki, but I thought I read he was being recruited at LB. If that is the case, we are still waiting for Gloudeman, Larson and Zuckel as well. I'm not as concerned about RB with this class, though Gilman would have been great, and Emmet Johnson is still out there.
Emmett Johnson, 6', 185, Minneapolis (Holy Angels), MN Has offers from UNI, SDSU, MT St, EMU, CMU & USD
I still want Hegerle, Larson and Johnson to round things out. Though adding another safety, LB and O-Line would be great if they are the right athletes. Tough to know how many commits they will really take given the strange year. Kuehnast has nice size, and there are some intriguing safeties out there with Roush, Cannon and Bailey.
I was just looking at D End and there are still some good ones out there as well. Love the types of offers we are putting out. Going after so much more talent than we were a handful of years ago.

Re: Hegerle. Definitely third hand information, but I've heard UND has a real shot. Not predicting it, but they are in the mix. The speculation part now completely is he's clearly waiting / hoping to see some bigger offers. If the offers stand as they do today, I think they have as good of a shot as any.
Lakes head would literally explode
I'd love to hear his excuse if UND landed Hegerle over the Bison.
