Big WR factor not given much discussion.

They are key to the rushing attack and vital in breaking long runs. If the new faces elevate WR performance, Singleton and Allen could put up astronomical numbers. 50 more WE receptions would also force opposing secondaries to back up and loosen their rush defense. WRs were always effective blockers for the Lions.
I would hope that this is a make or break year for Hagens. I wish him much success.

OT: Google NotebookLM AI Tool

I am playing around with Google's NotebookLM AI tool. It's designed for researchers and notetaking for students. It says, "It allows users to upload documents, ask questions, generate summaries, and even listen to audio overviews of their sources. Essentially, it's designed to be a personalized AI assistant that can help with various tasks like summarizing complex documents, creating study guides, and generating briefing docs, all based on the user's uploaded content."

Fascinating tool. You point it to sources or provide information to the tool, and it will generate a summary of the data you provided. It can even discover sources for you based on your input. After that, you can ask it questions via a chat. It will answer you based on the information you provided it. Then you can have it generate a "podcast-like" audio file. Two "people" discuss the topic. The AI-generated voices banter back and forth. One is the host and one is the expert. They only use the information/sources that you provided. You can even add an option to allow you to interrupt the discussion and ask more questions. The "cohosts" will pivot and answer your question before resuming their discussion.

Truly amazing technology. I can't imagine being a student and having this tool at my disposal.

I tried it with my most recent blog posts. I fed it the text of my post as the only source.

Check out the results. Click on the link, then click on the play button in the box near the top of the post. It's a 14:27 listen.


There are a few little issues, but as the saying goes, this is the worst it will be. It evolves constantly.

Is anyone else using anything like this? If you have kids in school, ask them about it. Are they using anything like it?

Suddenly, wideout looking pretty solid.

Sounds like the biggest news out of BW was Devonte Ross. Judging by the way they used him, he can do a lot of things, not just stretch a defense vertically. If PSU has a burner like Evans, that's important. But if they have a burner who can actually run routes and get open and catch the ball, that's really big. If you have a legit B1G outside receiver and a legit B1G slot receiver (Pena), and a bunch of good athletes as role players (Hudson, Luke Reynolds, LIam Clifford etc), you're starting to get somewhere. Sounds like Ross was getting so wide open Allar had to throw him the ball. And maybe if Allar can get comfortable throwing to people with 3 yards of separation, gradually maybe he'll get comfortable throwing to them when they have only 1 yard of separation -- which they will be lucky to get against good secondaries this fall.
