I made it to practice on Friday. Mostly watched the offense. My thoughts are below. Please excuse any typos. Remember it's just one day in shorts and shirts and no hitting.
QB- Flowers had good velocity on his throws. Lot less air under the ball on long passes. Still seems to aim throws instead of throwing. A couple of his best decisions were pulling the ball down and running. His legs will be a weapon.
Bench- looked good in drills. Deep ball arm strength is a concern. Looked worse in 11 man. Had a near pick in 7 man by deatrick Nichols. Had a tipped ball intercepted by Zach Bullock.
RB- mack looked good and bigger. Same good vision but appeared better when D had to respect Q as a run threat.
Johnson- looked good. Plowing through people may be where he shines.
Tice- did not see him much. Did see him take a lap after a false start.
TE- Price - did not see him do much.
Pope- couple dump off catches. Looks big and strong.
Dillon- kid is huge and athletic. Could put 20+ pounds on without worries. 6'5" and dove and caught one thrown low. A catch after which the coach got on Flowers saying "How tall is he? Throw it up to him. " if he develops he will be a weapon unlike anything usf has ever had.
WR- Rodney Adams looked really good. As noted above all my comments about Bronson should have been for Adams.
Legree looked good too. Really good hands and quickness. Should be a solid opposite adams.
Stanley clerveaux has great hands. Also, he seems real smooth and somehow has space to catch even though he's not blazing. Reminds me of SJ Green.
Tyre McCants- probably the player I was most excited about in the 2014 class. He looked good. Has a brace on the left knee which may have been the acl knee. Made a couple moved in 7 man where you could see the electricity. I'm not sure how much he will contribute coming off the injury.
Evan Wilson - Runs great routes, good hands and great feet in catching in bounds. (Did I hit all the white WR cliches? ) I didn't see too much of him in the 7 or 11 man drills.
OL- Kofi amichia looked bigger and did well in the parts I saw.
Clavion Nelson- humorous note, he rolled his shorts legs and his shirt up as much as possible. Guess he was hot.
Overall- the D was getting good pressure in the 11man. Interior line struggled a bit with locating the rushers.
Defense- spent too much time on offense to have watched real closely.
Special teams- punting game will be strong. Punt returns- best were Adams and Hassan Childs.
