Good stuff Stone. Glad to see Sprinkle have a big day. He would provide a very nice wrinkle to our offense if he can be consistent.
The FB news is beyond frustrating. I wish someone would nail it. I see they were using Sprinkle some there today as well. That would be an interesting experiment.
What are your thoughts on the receivers as a whole after today?

Extremely impressed. J Corn is an electrifying player, doesn't look like a freshman at all.
We have a lot more size at receiver now too. Kendrick Edwards is huge, and Wilson is a matchup nightmare, along with the tight ends. They worked on passing a lot today, not a ton of run plays.
Morgan and Hollister will get a lot of playing time, especially Morgan. Great route runner to go with great hands. The coaches really like him.

I'm excited to see Wilson. I feel like he is going to be a huge asset for us this year.
Has Morgan bulked up noticeably? He looked like he was in junior high during SEC play last year.

Same here. He has great hands and he's really competitive. Practices hard like he's in a real game.

I can't honestly answer that because I didn't really notice him too much last year. I will say this, he's a physical receiver and he's not afraid to sacrifice his body. His physicality stands out and he makes some good catches while getting hit.

Yeah I never noticed Morgan during the season either. I never realized how much he actually played until I went back and rewatched all of the games to do my WR charting. Once I saw how often he was in, I actually noticed how tiny he was in comparison to others on the field. He definitely needed a redshirt year to bulk up.

Other than kick return being the other back that never fielded me either.

So first the offense and defense both had bright spots. they both appeared to be clicking pretty good and were moving smooth. even my girlfriend the tennessee fan commented on how organized they were and said they appeared to already be hitting on all cylinders. I don't know about all cylinders, but they were well prepared. which bodes well for the auburn game. Stone had a better write up than I could of had because I didn't know who a lot of the players that made the plays were.
side note I got to the scrimmage 30 min late and didn't hear bielema's spill about not videoing anything. well I may or may not have took a short video with my phone before some lady behind told me I wasn't allowed to do that. good thing I wasn't wearing an auburn shirt...
glad you said who the guy was that made the one handed catch. saw him make the catch right as I got to the scrimmage. didn't know who it was but it was a play I wouldn't have seen from our receivers last year. pretty impressive, even though it was out of bounds.
yup Allen looked real good except for the occasional throw behind the receiver. that was a pretty throw and catch to sprinkle. right over sprinkles shoulder on the sideline. he made the catch right in front of where I was sitting.
the receivers caught the ball real well. I was impressed with their hands. like you said I feel much better about them compared to last year.
collins had some nice moves getting yards after contact. I could tell the added mass he put on allowed him to take more of a beating while running the ball and break some tackles.
didn't know that was liddell that almost had those two picks. those were the only times I saw where a DB had a chance to intercept a pass.
was wondering why he wasn't playing
that was really impressive. didn't realize it was jojo though. you hit the nail on the head with the joe adams comparison. he had a nasty move to make the first guy miss, break the guys ankles type move. then bobbed and weaved before diving into the endzone. he's going to be a special player
that play by jojo, corn's one handed catch, liddels two near interceptions, sprinkles catch over his shoulder, and korliss's long run at the end tells me we have playmakers. something we were sorely missing last year. aside from the playmakers on the field, the teams ability to already appear well prepared and running smoothly impressed me the most. I'm now looking forward to the season even more than I was WPS

Allen had a good day, and the crowd erupted when he completed a bomb to Sprinkle early in the scrimmage. He was accurate for the most part, but he threw a few balls that were behind his receivers. I feel much better about our receivers this year compared to 2013, the overall effort level is night and day compared to last year.

J Will did not participate today, just a precautionary measure. His hamstring should be good to go for Auburn. He dressed out but did not play.

JoJo Robinson had the best touchdown of the day, after catching a pass he bobbed and weaved all over the field and somehow got to the end zone and dove in. Reminded me a lot of something Joe Adams would do. This was also against the first team D which made it even more impressive.

Nice contributions. I'll go to the next one if its open.
My complacency is pretty strong at the moment.
