Looking at the support staff, Tarik Glenn and CJ Anderson remains from last year, Addison Ooms left, and Michael Barton has joined.

Can I possibly be more excited about spring football? No, no, I could not be. I'm at 100%. Hell, if it lived in the Bay I'd perch on tightwad with binoculars to catch a bit. I'm now that Old Blue guy I swore I would never be when I was a student. I'm so Blue my pea looks like Windex.

Terry's gained 40 pounds this year?

Well, 40 pounds in 21 months. The 235 lbs was an official weigh-in at a May 2019 combine. Here are recent photos of Terry.

He's certainly thicker in the torso. I suspect he will lose some of that weight now that he's enrolled and in a proper weight/training/nutrition program.

There are a ton of guys who went into college programs as tight ends and came out as tackles. He might be one of them. Looks like he is closer to three bills than 250. Nothing wrong with that, either. Premium left tackles get all the money in the NFL drafts.

Well, if he can become an elite player for Cal, whether it be TE or T, COOL. That said, I think Musgrave's O could take great advantage of a talented pass catcher at the TE position, and Terry is the leader in the clubhouse.

Cool, thanks SGB...and I'm not shaming him...damn you COVID...;-)

I think pound for pound, he has the potential to be the highest draft pick of the Wilcox era...

Excited for the RB position in the Musgrave offense. Moore showed some cutting ability and power with his stiff arms which were a bit like Marshawn. We return Brown Jr. a proven "heavy" back, and some of the other young guys might add some speed.

Also, none of the original Covid opt-outs are on the roster because they are presumably still opted-out: Tevin Paul, Humphries, McIntosh, Harutyanyan, Branden Owens, Moos, Spithorst, Cherry, Hawkins. The last two have already announced their transfers out.

my personal thought was if you opted out of the season that means for the whole year cz i know you weren't allowed to participate in workouts and use the facilities. Which makes sense, cz the reason you're opting out was due to covid, doesn't make sense if you're only opting out of playing games. but we'll see in the summer/fall if that was case.

do you want pounds per shit or total pounds?

Total, no? Especially when it comes to blocking (or lack thereof) on special teams...
