Signs Of The Times

While Shane Cokes' decision to join Coach You Know Who at Colorado might have made the biggest splash, two of his former teammates Tweeted their grad transfer destinations yesterday as well.

#

Defensive back Tyron Herring announced he is headed to the University of Delaware and the Blue Hen football website posted this:


#

Corner Robert Crockett III, who unlike the other two had used up his Ivy League eligibility, is sticking around New England to play and do his graduate work at Bryant University. The Rhode Island school Tweeted:


#

Tweeting new offers were the Brothers Flores, with East Carolina joining the schools hoping to add UVa grad transfer John Paul '22 to their offensive line and Ohio's Miami University taking a run at senior offensive lineman Michael Flores '23.

#

The early signing period continues through Friday and others may still commit, or may already have committed and the news hasn't yet gone public. Stay tuned.

#

As you should know by now, the Ivy League does not use the Letter of Intent and so there is nothing binding for athletes headed this way to sign. That doesn't stop them from joining their classmates in unofficial signing ceremonies. Here's a pic from one featuring 6-foot-3, 230-pound defensive end Keoni Perkins of South Grand Prairie High School in Texas:

EXTRA POINT
Finally.

After a bizarre week-plus of ping-ponging around the East Coast our Christmas cards finally arrived at our one-person post office yesterday. And not just the original order. Interestingly, the replacement order showed up at the same time. The clerk at the post office, who felt badly about the botched delivery, kindly called the house to let us know the cards had shown up.

That's not the only post office update to share. As noted here previously, sometimes when we try to order online packages cannot be delivered to a PO box. When that happens we type in our street address and occasionally get an error message informing us that our address doesn't exist. We are then asked if we want to go ahead and use that address anyway. Because the address actually is correct we've done that with mixed success. We didn't really have much choice until recently.

After having several packages returned to sender in the last few months it was finally suggested by our local post office that when we can't use our PO box, and our street address is not recognized, we type in the actual street address of the post office.

To make a long story shorter, I did that a couple of days ago and got a notification that my package should be delivered tomorrow. I had my fingers crossed but wasn't terribly confident given history.

Well, the package won't be delivered tomorrow. Lo and behold, the post office clerk again kindly called to let me know it arrived yesterday. I'm headed out to pick it up right now.
