Offers Lists Continue Grow

Can't tell if every Dartmouth player in the portal is posting every offer but they are still trickling in.

Tight end Zion Carter '23 has now added East Carolina to a list that includes Alabama A&M, Grambling, Buffalo, Marshall, Tulane, Campbell and Alabama State.

The offer sheet for offensive lineman John Paul Flores '22 – who spent the past season at Virginia – now includes Louisville. The 247Sports site has a detailed story about Louisville offering him HERE.

JP's list also includes Stanford, Rice, North Texas, East Carolina, Louisiana Tech, Old Dominion, Temple, UMass, Marshall, Troy, Eastern Michigan, Bowling Green and Jackson State.

Old Dominion would like to reunite the Flores brothers on the same O-line, now offering brother Michael '23. In addition to ODU, Michael's list features Marshall, Miami (Ohio), UMass, Incarnate Word, Morehead State, Butler and the University of San Diego. He also has preferred walk-on offers at Vanderbilt and Colorado.

The win improved Dartmouth to 5-11 overall and 1-1 in the Ivy League while the Bulldogs slipped to 10-5 overall and 0-2 in conference action. Find the story HERE.

EXTRA POINT
Thanks to everyone who sent along well-wishes to Mrs. BGA RN, MS, CDE, BC-ADM, who as of today is the Dartmouth Hitchcock clinical nurse specialist for diabetes emeritus. She was honored yesterday with a lunch-hour celebration featuring a number of speeches that I'm not ashamed to tell you brought tears to my eyes.
