[*][B]Continuity, again[/B] - we did not have spring practice, which is huge in the normal year 1 to year 2 progression [*][B]Continuity, again!? - [/B]who the heck knows how Covid plays out, both in terms of summer/fall reps and who is available come showtime. We're at least 1 year away from claiming we have meaningful depth. [/LIST] Depending on where you look, there are wildly mixed assessments for 2020.
