I feel like there used to be a higher-rated kicker on the list. Am I Mandela-ing myself?

Understand that the Cornell football team will be switching sides of the field at home games-that is the Pressbox side. Maybe trying to switch their luck?

[Ken711]

20th recruit added to list.

[Ken711]

Two new commitments.

[scoop85]

Shaping up nicely. I assume the staff is still working on bringing in at least 1 QB in the class and probably adding more DBs and WRs.

I agree scoop. There is only one Soph QB on the current roster this year (no Junior QB) into Wang and the other Senior QBs.. It's surprising that Archer brought in no QBs that class that would be a Junior now.  

There is one QB in the incoming freshman class that I know of, so unless there's another incoming freshman QB that I haven't seen, that's an area that needs at least 2 QBs in the 2029 class.
