Several gems there. My number on question on some of these transfers; why are you leaving your school? We need LB help as we all know, and there are two or three there that look interesting.

Thank you for calling me out on that. I made a foolish mistake of eliminating the source. I'll edit to include that. Thank you.

No Im not trying to call you out. But someone else had said last week there were over 1100 players so it seemed a little light to be the entire list. Just checking.

Yeah this isn't even like 10% of the total players in the portal. Quinn Ewers and Spencer Rattler aren't even on here.

No matter, my neglecting to include the source was a major and inexcusable NO-NO. Glad you brought it to my attention. I doubt it is the entire list as FCS, for example, are often overlooked or outright ignored. As are some smaller FBS schools. Then there are those who announced very recently, like maybe yesterday or last night.

If you’ve never heard about how silk is made, it’s pretty much the stuff of fairytales. Tiny silk worms feed on mulberry leaves until they begin to spin cocoons, secreting pure, silk thread from specialized glands below their mouths. The worms use the cocoons to transform into moths, but afterwards, the cocoons are harvested to produce silk (this is called schappe silk.)

The cocoon material is softened through washing and drying it. After a nice bath, the cocoons are passed through steel comb rollers to produce long, straight fibers called “combed top.” The combing process doesn’t stop there. The bundles of silk are combed and combed and fed through rotating rollers to twist them slightly (at this point, the emerging fibers are called “roving.” Lots of name-changes with the silk process.)

To finish the process, the roving is spun to form a single thread, which is combined with other single threads, and twisted onto a bobbin or cone. Meanwhile, the moths we stole from earlier are waiting for us in our attics to exact revenge by eating all our quilts when we’re not watching.

If you're more of a visual learner, check out this quick 5 minute video!

I just love helping out my fellow Vols fans.

That list should about fill our list of transferred out players over the past 15 months!

A senior CB out of Florida named Blades would need to get a solid look by somebody. If he's from the famous Blades family down there you'd have to give a him a serious look.
