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."

Day 3 - No happy feels
Darius West is out for the year.
quote:
"Average practice today. Not good enough. Just didn't feel like we had the mentality that we needed. I don't know. Too early in camp for guys to be feeling sorry about themselves getting up early," Stoops said.
Darius West is out for the year.
quote:
On the injury front, Stoops announced after practice that true freshman safety Darius West will miss the rest of the season due to injury. West, from Central Catholic High School in Lima, Ohio, was a four-star recruit by nearly every recruiting database. "He got hurt yesterday," Stoops said. "So, it's a real shame. He's a good player. He's everything we thought he was going to be. He's a really talented football player. He came in with an injury and we thought it was healed up. But it didn't work out, so he'll be out for the year."
