Any news on how he has recovered from his injury? Was looking forward to watching him last year as a freshman.

Yes, and Cupp was ahead of him on the depth chart before the injury. With a healthy Cupp, we've got potentially two all-conference caliber TEs following in Sternberger's footsteps. It's a critical need in Jimbo's offense so we can't have too many. TE prospects are hard to come by but Jimbo certainly appears to have a knack for identifying talent that not everyone sees.Greencougars said:

Mond is excited he now has some new deep threats who will actually finish their route and jump to the ball.
ROFL, OOOOHHH LMAO. Weatherman, good one!!!Dgrimesag92 said:Bunk Moreland said:Law Hall 69-72 said:Darn, I was hoping he might see some passes that he could reach.Raptor said:

He had plenty who finished their routes, but a human being can only jump so high. Mond is about as accurate as the weatherman.

I like your Assessment but I have to ask why do you think WR production declined from 18' to 19'..Those WR's balled in 18' and were strongest position on team..Its a knowing that QB can't throw deep ball. Several times last year Davis & Roger had beaten there guy for deep ball and ball over shot. I think it was Buckley who was running wide open against Clemson and ball again was over shot. IMO O line play was down due to new Coach but with schedule as is should dominate In 20'...

Whew, where to begin...
In 2018 we had an all American center anchoring a line with an all-conference RB who ran for 1800 yards. Throw in Mond & Corbin and we had a great running attack.
Additionally, we had an All American TE who kept LB'ers and safeties honest.
The WR's 'balled' in 18?
Quartney: 575 yards | 7 TD's
Cam: 474 yards | 1 TD
Ausbon: 375 yards | 0 TD
Kendrick: 336 yards | 5 TD's
Our WR's had some big moments but were not the strongest position on the team. Neither Quartney or Kendrick made the jump necessary in 2019. We also lost what we thought would be a great replacement at TE with Cupp until Wydermyer emerged as the season went on.
You can't put the lack of development/jump by the WR's all on Mond's inconsistency at time. If we're going to just anecdote all day, Quartney dropped a perfect bomb TD in game 1, Kendrick continued to dog routes or turn off them or jump early, etc.
Mond needed to be sharper but until he could trust a guy other than Ausbon, combined with the poor OL, it was clear Jimbo went into super conservative mode any chance he could and tried to win games by scratching and clawing. Thankfully Wydermyer came on as a consistent threat as the year went on.
Whole new schedule and whole new batch of weapons this year. Ausbon will command attention which will only serve to help Demas, Ainias in space, Cupp & Wydermyer up the seam, etc.
