Good stuff guys...anyone been to a practice yet?
Speaking of......I've been two days now.
Here's my take.
As usual when it comes to fall camp the defense has the edge.
But....and you are going to LOVE this...
We have a squad of receivers that are going to blow your frickin mind!
WRs Cox, Gordon, Dillard, and Moore are their usual experienced selves that are very reliable. It's great to have that solid leadership there.
WR #88 Winningham is 6'5" and not only creates 2 yards of separation between him and the defender with his speed but catches everything! It's almost not fair!
WR #82 Joe Hampton is so fast and plays all out! The speed is incredible. Never a let down on any play I saw both days.
Ok. Ok. Here's the one that will make Bear fans happy.
Mitchell Perkinson- the 5"11" transfer from Oklahoma State. When I first saw him I thought this kid doesn't compare to the other tall receivers in height or speed. Then I got to see him on two plays where he showed why OK State wanted him. He ran straight up the field, cut left, then right, hesitated then ran left. The DB was so confused! It was like he was predicting the DBs next move, watched which side he shifted his weight to, then altered his steps to create imbalance. Dude is cerebral. He just seems like one of those guys you'd hate to play chess with because he already has his next 3 moves planned and is bored waiting on you to move.
A few other receivers impressed for sure. Recruiting is going well in that area. Wish I could remember every one of them.
Don't get me wrong the DBs made some killer knock downs too. I really believe we will be better at that position this year.
RBs are the fastest I've ever seen at UCA. The holes opened up by the Oline is promising. The DLine guys though are very strong and are winning the bull in the ring competitions it looks like.
I will write more tomorrow when I am not on an iPad.
