1st day of ISU football practice complete. Offense looked great, especially running back Shakir Bell.

I love the confidence level. A huge change from 4 years ago when there were a bunch of wide-eyed kids lining up for their first college practice.

I went to a little of the first practice last night. We gave a very impressive looking football team. You can tell that we've upgraded our recruiting. Some if he freshman don't look like freshman. The returnees look bigger, faster, stronger. I was more down toward the offense. Especially the WR's. Hilton looked outstanding. Spencer is a specimen and Tanner really stood out. We may have a hard time redshirting Theo Bradley, Barry McCartet and Desean Prentice. Very impressive freshman receivers.
 
Hey Support......

Practice updates

Was at Sat and Sunday practices. What a big difference in past years. You can really tell the difference between freshman and the returners. In past years that difference was not so clear because we were young all over, but now its very clear. Looks like alot of redshirts to me. Saturdays practice was really good on both sides of the ball. Defense was ready to mix it up. QB's were good but Ronnie leads by abunch. Justin Hilton is well..... Justin. Great work ethic. Tanner Riley looked really good. Amazing what maturity does. Remember he came as a reciever, moved to defense last year now back as a receiver. Alot of weapons at receiver position. Bell, Harris and Cheese will be the guys. Bell and Cheese slid through some holes for good runs. Harris made some long zone runs. Both lines looked good. Some big new guys but not ready this year. Sunday practice alittle different. After three hard days legs look alittle tired. No quit as crisp. All in all good.

John Goodlet (#10) WR had a great day Sunday. He caught two balls from Fouch and Glass for long scores against #1 Defense. Mardis (#88) made a great grab too which shows our depth at TE. Spencer (big WR transfer from Mich St) is still learning the playbook and tweaked a hamstring but should contribute this year. New QB coach seems to helping QB's develop and they respect and listen to him. According to coaches, biggest concern right now (other than keeping kids healthy) are two vacancies on the O line they were not expecting going in to the year (both were starters on the depth chart and are no longer with the football program). Have a few kids competing for those jobs but it's still a set back.

Who was that?
 
Nevermind. Just looked at the roster and saw that Quincy Small and Evan Borchers are both not listed. What happened?
