Just figured I'd start this up to update with fall practice reports as they come out.
Not much on Day 1. Elam looked good and was mentioned by Bud Dupree as well as the coaches as a potential early contributor. Not much news on the QBs other than they're providing good competition.
Stoops did mention some issues with players dropping the ball today. While nobody wants to hear about the dreaded dropsies we've witnessed in the past, it wouldn't surprise me if it was due to a bulk of the WRs being injured in the spring and getting adjusted. It could also be something that gets ironed out once a QB is selected. Something to keep an eye on going forward.

Day 2 - OC Neal Brown and Notes
quote:
"I thought we were nervous day one, especially the new guys, the freshmen, and it showed," offensive coordinator Neal Brown said. "We dropped some passes. But we caught the ball really well today. I don't anticipate that being an issue at all, like it was at times last year. During team period, we may have had one drop. I don't anticipate that being a problem going forward."
Five members of UK's highly touted incoming class are wide receivers, giving UK much-needed depth at a position that severely lacked it a season ago. So far, Brown has been encouraged by the group.
"Really, really excited about some of the young freshmen wideouts," Brown said. "They're catching on quicker. The new rules in the summer obviously helped us."
Asked for detail on which of the five impressed him, Brown named Dorian Baker and Blake Bone, "the two big kids."
