Collin Cook at Pope ,  10 TD catches as a soph, and 18-20 last year as a junior. 

In addition to Cook, Pope returns Minchey QB and Elijah Robb at RB so if they have any O-line whatsoever they should be able to put up points.

And they have a transfer from California who is just as good as Cook and a sophomore WR who is 6'3. Pope is LOADED at the skill position

Key word is Skill.  O-Line is a bigger weakness than some figure.  Do they have anyone that got playing time other than blowouts?  If I recall correctly most of the backups were also seniors. Will Robb, who is underrated IMO, rush for 1000 yards? Minchey will still throw for a ton, but does accuracy suffer without that protection?  First test in 3 weeks.

Robb is really good and yes underrated.  I hear the O-Line has potential, just young and banged-up for much of the pre-season.

Baylor isn't until week 5

Nice one!  I figured I’d wake you up!

I guess still groggy from summer hangover.  Plus I am a baseball guy at heart.

I presume you are including the local transfers to CPA in there as well.  Haven't seen anyone mention it, but Kenny Minchey was also once a Mustang before heading to JP2.

Wait…u mean they aren’t all homegrown?   All these years I thought they were completely homegrown. #Wharton #Bonds #Lindsay #Allsmiller #Brahaw #Blackwell..  “CPA Homegrown”. What a joke!  I guess if they say it over and over they think someone will believe them!

let's move on from throwing shade at CPA.  personally, I think it is a good thing that new players are coming in to any program particularly if they add diversity.  i'll speak for myself here but the more I am around people who are different (political, racial, socio-economic) the more I grow and I imagine that's true for lots of people.   you know they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

 

im a LA guy and I hope they are undefeated when we we play.  I hope our kids play hard and help each other up when they tackle them.  in any case, whatever our differences are won't get worked out on a message board.
