The only person who limped off the field today was Maddox and it might have been a cramp.
Shaw again insisted it was a tossup between West and McKee but McKee is sharper. West had one batted down. I think there's more than the official two inches height difference between them.
McKee is listed at 6'6" so I'm not surprised. Probably 3 or 4 inches difference.

Spotted in street clothes, watching linemen drills from outside the rail at practice... Josh Pakola. I'm not 100% certain but maybe 95%. It is hard to miss an athletic-looking 310-pound human that looks like him.
He clearly wants back in the game and is trying to stay close to the team. Good for him. I wonder how soon he could be (a) made eligible and (b) considered available to play?
Also noted - Michael Wilson is not yet in pads, and Jonathan McGill is still wearing the boot.

Good sign he’s watching practice. Hopefully as soon as summer grades come out, he’ll be on the other side of the rail.

If a football player returns only after Summer school grades are posted, how long after returning would they be able to get into the playing rotation? And, sort of related, would a player suspended from the team be able to use school S&C facilities on his own given he is still a student on campus? I assume they would not be able to be trained by school staff, but this whole area is quite unknown to me.

Everyone stumbles at some point. I'm rooting for him to get past this obstacle so that he can graduate a Cardinal. His return this season would be a nice boost for the defense, but even if not, I still really hope he graduates.

School S&C facilities on his own? The football team's, dunno. The school gyms (Arrillaga Rec Center and AOERC)? I'm positive he can, as he is an enrolled student. And he can also be given a copy of what the strength coach would be having him do with the rest of the team, were he there with them. Wink wink.
Playing rotation? No idea. I think getting into football shape takes a little time in general. Depends how much of the above he was doing, any conditioning that was accompanying that, and of course his reintroduction to the playbook/prep for the opponent du jour.
