Yes, they "work to fight covid." Do they totally prevent it? No. But they can catch the spit droplet carrying the virus that would land on your eye and most likely infect you.

A lot of this is probability math. A standalone method with 30% efficacy isn't that great. But a method with 30% efficacy matched with a method with 90% efficacy is better than the 90% method alone. But yeah, listen to the media that tells you neither is in your best interest. They profit from getting you upset and you get your epidemiology advice from a former cop or a frozen dinner heir instead of from an epidemiologist. Keep fighting that culture war, brother.

Clearly never seen a photo or video of doctors practicing internal medicine. They don't wear them to protect your nose from their spit.

It's interesting that so far there are no RB's, no QB, no WR's. One LB although the DE could be a LB. No K/P.

They offered a K/P late Sunday but I haven't seen him sign the dotted line. Last year's extra point and FG kicker was a freshman (and, he did well).

I'd guess they'll add (1) RB out of the portal to go along with Houser and Stewart, and, at least (1) WR (maybe two). They also will have a big WR play his first game at IUP this Fall despite the fact he'll be an academic senior (Luke Hardy). By my count, Hardy still has four years' eligibility (redshirt, Covid, medical redshirt).

As for LB, remember they return a guy who likely would have started last year (or, played a whole lot) but missed the whole season with an injury. Kelly is also coming back as a grad student. The two second string LBs from 2021 also return. One of the slew of freshmen safeties from last year is also moving to LB.

Some believe former Bloomsburg QB Logan Leiby is still on the IUP radar. I have my doubts after the Mak Sexton signing. It won't be easy signing a transfer QB of much quality after signing Sexton. Odds are whomever it would be would be coming here to carry a clipboard. Don't get me wrong ... I'd love for them to have two experienced QBs.

Who knows. Most years we'll continue to see a couple signings pop up in the days after Signing Day.

On paper, Tort tore up the WPIAL. He got some really good players from some really good football schools.
Hopefully, they can redshirt the vast majority of them. I wouldn't be surprised if 1 or 2 could be ready to play in the Fall. But, hopefully no more than that will be needed. The jump is so big and so few are ready.
Redshirt. Adapt. Learn. Get stronger and faster. Learn where the library is. Hit the ground running in Spring of '23.
The recruiting season that will be more beneficial to the '22 team (portal shopping) is ongoing. Couple key portal purchases and they can be pretty solid in the Fall.

Watching the commits become official ... this has to be IUP's biggest haul from the WPIAL in a long time.

Seems to me that if you can get 2,000 people to wear white shirts you should be able to get 2,000 people to wear a mask.

JD Younger is a big pickup for IUP. He had some FCS offers and a slew of D2 offers.

It's very difficult, if not impossible, to enforce, both from a logistical and a social point of view. My problem with what you are saying is that these seem to be the same people who tout "individual responsibility." If that's the case, then take some.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

True - the question from me - Is it just quantity, or are they getting quality?

I'll tell you in 3 years. Lol.
