I think part of it is Mines is the WR coach and is kicking ass on recruiting.
I was in such great shape when we moved to Ohio in 2022. Then injury after injury, illness after illness.
30 some odd lbs later...
While I was on the path recovery already (back to working out 6 times a week), I was recently diagnosed with ADHD (at 38 years old, can you believe it) and prescribed Adderall.
There is no need for ozempic when you're on Adderall, I'll tell you that much. After 2 months I'm down about 23lbs, it's insane.
I say that right before back to bakc turnovers
really loving the ball movement and passing
I have an autoimmune called ankylosing spondilitis. It effects a joint in my hips. I'm on medication for it to subside the pain, but for really long term benefits I have to spend plenty of time on hip mobility and hamstring stretches, so I spend a lot of time on lunges, deep squats, and always make sure to stretch after working out too.
It's a condition that's misdiagnosed often since back pain can be a lot of things. And tbh doctors and practitioners are always quick to blame lifestyle choices, which I don't necessarily blame them for but it can be frustrating to try to weed through it. As an example for me, some doctors told me my core strength wasn't strong enough, meanwhile I was inching closer to the 1000lb lift club. It was the classic eye roll scenario...It took almost 6 years of constant visits to all sorts of different practices to finally get diagnosed.
Now that I'm on medicine for it's been a slow grind to get back in shape. I fall prey to eating too much bread is basically the short version of it. I got a discount for my golds gym membership last month though so at least I got that going for me, which is nice.
Wish him best of luck but have to say I'm a little surprised by this one.
He missed all of this year..seems difficult to project. And a re-injured shoulder would give me major concerns. Seems like a bit of a "flier" for a team like ND.
When he played @ VT, he appeared adequate but not outstanding. Despite that, he was almost certainly a starter here next year.
Another way the non-Blue Bloods are being undermined...Roster Expansion--we take your starting Safety...he may or may not play for us, but we have 104 other guys so it doesn't really matter anyways.
To add to that, after QB and OL, WR might be the most important position on the team. I've heard some argue that DB is now a higher value position than DL because of the way some teams pass.
STAY!
SEC... All bark no bite

And already changed to 13th. Wonder which team jumped ahead
Curious what the number in top right corner of the On3 team boxes represents. Seems like a score of some sort but can't tell how it's done.
I also think it's odd how they weight the quantity versus the average recruit score. UCLA has a pretty low average recruit score but has 22 coming in and they are ahead of us where our average incoming is a 76 for 15 recruits. Seems to me our class should be expected to have a greater impact.
Considering we're now sitting with the #12 transfer class, looking at those remaining positions you listed above, we could make a run at OTs, Rahtrel Perry (Cent Conn St), EDGE Kahmari Brown (Elon), CB Brandon Cisse (NC State), and probably add LB Jimmori Robinson (UTSA) as an EDGE
Their "proprietary algorithm " shows an Avg. P. increase of >10. That seems good, but I'm not sure how significant.
Also a diabetic here. Everyone is different, but cutting carbs did wonders for me too. Whole grains and veggies only, no beer though I do still drink wine on occasion (dry wines only). If you're missing bread, I found that not only does sourdough not raise my blood sugar, I found that introducing it into my diet actually lowered my average glucose readings. Has to be real sourdough with the fermented starter, not just sourdough flavored.
Cutting carbs and going high fiber and high protein got my A1C from 9.1 to under 6.0 in three months. Also lost 30 pounds which doesn't suck.
Feels like if we had one more OT we would be in a much better shape. missing on Connor Moore was big.
EDIT: Adding on, EDGE feels undermanned as well. NFL analytics say OT, EDGE, QB, and CB positions have more weight on success than any other position and I think we are at best ok in 2 of the 4.
DAMMIT!
3? 5 in some situations
Thanks man, I'm pretty proud of the results so far, though I did have a head start. I started lifting 3-5 days a week back in July and gained 20lbs of water, fat and muscle. I was eating a lot to gain as much strength as possible, and I wasn't lean to start with either, so by December, it was clearly time to cut.
As far as what's worked for me, this is pretty much my routine right now:
Breakfast: Black coffee with Collagen
Lunch: yogurt and a protein shake
Dinner: Grilled Steak (some days I eat half; others I eat it all)
Exercise: lift 3-5 days a week with 20 mins of easy running or biking at the end.
Cutting out the alcohol was a huge win. I would have a couple drinks in the evening, which would make me hungry, and then I'd start snacking and end up consuming a days worth of calories right before bed. The alcohol would also lead to poor sleep and poor recovery, and was causing a lot of inflammation too.

Dang, congrats.
What seemed to work best for you?
I know putting down the Wild Turkey by itself would probably work wonders for me, but I just love it too much. I am gonna cut the amount I intake though.

oh my god we have turned over every possession since I posted that
