Hopefully. I almost tend to trust a 17 year old that is currently playing the game as opposed to UU's rose colored monologues.

Come on man, UU was right in how the defense was just going to dominate in SEC play the past 5 years...

Cook just needs coaching. Finally getting it

It was like reading about an epic battle between two heavy weights.

Agreed. He has the athletic ability. I'm excited to see what Pittman can do with him. I really think by the end of the season that our oline will be a big strength.

Every practice there was some defensive player just blowing it up and was going to be all-SEC that year, half of them were never heard of during the season, but by God it wasn't from a lack of talent, just better talent ahead of them on the depth chart.

Great thread. Thanks for the infos.

There should be a lot of new info out tomorrow as Bielema is doing his first spring presser with the media.
Although I could just see our media focusing on why did he close practice instead of actually asking him about practice itself.

7 Minutes of practice video. Nothing too telling, but better than nothing.

I like chaney at the end "You've got to be shitting me! What is the god damn problem?"Posted on 3/15/13 at 11:07 am to ocelot4ark
Thanks for the link. I saw a couple of interesting things in there.
-In a shot of what looked to be the first team offense in the background I saw JWill, Allen, Charpentier and Hurd.
-Hatcher and Horton fielding punts.
-Alan Turner is waayyy bigger than when he first got here.
-Brandon Mitchell looks huge when standing next to Brandon Allen
- There were doing a line drill where Swanson, Boyd and Ward were all on the line together.
-Kody Walker was working out with the RB's.

Bielema says Brandon Allen and Brandon Mitchell have been "ahead of the curve" at QB. Says AJ Derby has shown ability to manage the game

Bielema: Jonathan Williams has been very impressive... Nate Holmes is one of the more explosive players I've been around.

Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema: "If there's one guy who has been a champion in every way, shape, and form... It's Kiero Small." Says Small has lost 20 pounds.

Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema: At linebacker we have the biggest amount of area to grow... We're going to start moving guys around in there.
quote:
Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema says he will almost certainly pick one QB and stick with him. Says a QB with "special skills" could get on the field elsewhere.

Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema: The only thing that's made me mad (about Arkansas) is that I got a parking ticket the other day.

Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema: I watched a little bit of film just to watch SEC play... I watched a lot of SEC vs SEC that didn't involve us.
quote:
Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema on watching film: I wanted my first impression to be the truth. I didn't want to watch film until I got a chance to work with them.

Bielema: "Myke Tavarres is by far our most athletic linebacker." Says Randy Shannon has spent a lot of time teaching Tavarres fundamentals.

Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema says he got rid of junior day in favor of smaller groups of recruits. "I believe in the personal touch in recruiting."
quote:
Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema on emerging defensive leaders: I think it's a little but early for that. I would say Byron Jones and Chris Smith jump out.
quote:
Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema on installing offense: As we move on, we'll put some nuances in... Slow it down and make it great. Don't hurry and make it average.
quote:
Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema: Everything I've seen from (incoming freshman) Books Ellis indicate he might be able to help us at linebacker.
quote:
Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema on QBs: I need to have an urgency out of them to be great.
quote:
Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema plans on having a 25-35 play practice and a 40-60 play scrimmage with officials on Saturdays.

Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema says players that commit presnap penalties in practice have to sit out a play and have "physical repercussions."
quote:
Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema: There's going to be a couple kids we talk to about position switches. It won't be anything drastic like switching sides of the ball
quote:
Bo Mattingly ?@SportsTalkwBo
Bielema: Austin Tate and Kody Walker are the only two guys limited in any shape or form.

Kinda surprises me. I was figuring it would be Peters.

Agreed. I thought that was surprising as well.
