Some practice observations:
-Bo Nix looks about the same. I noticed a LOT of one-on-one coaching with Harsin when Nix wasn't in on a drill.
-Davis looks a little short.
-Never heard Loy's name mentioned, but lots of Trey Lindsey.
-First three WRs were generally Hudson, Canion, Ja'Varrius Johnson.
-Pegues and Frazier seemed to get a lot of reps with the 1s. They were often in together on 2 TE sets. Also saw Pegues as a fullback.
-Jaren Handy is loving life. Very energetic and vocal.
-I did see a lot of 3-4 from the defense.
-I-formation!
-Neat trick play where Nix gave to Tank, who threw it back to Nix, then Nix threw downfield to a receiver.
-You knew where Mason was immediately. His voice carries.

Thanks for the updates. Nix will take time. What will be telling is how he looks at end of spring and if he has made any significant strides.
How was the crowd?
I really like the WR group of it holds. Good mix of size, speed, and quickness. Lots of options can be run between those three

Nix won't get better overnight it will take time.

Some things that I noticed in practice.
First of all, I’ll say that I didn’t stay the whole time. I was there a little over an hour but dang it was fun to be back in JHS!
-Larrando seems like he is going to bring a lot of energy to the program.
-Several players looked visibly stronger and/or in better shape than last year.
-The coaches that I spent time watching (Eason, Caddy, Friend, CWill, and Mason) are all high energy and very focused on technique.
-Harsin also seemed high energy and was constantly rotating around and getting involved, he threw a lot of passes with the TEs and he got in there and worked with the WRs some too.
-in individuals, Devan Barrett was getting a good bit of 1-on-1 work with Caddy and Shivers is looking stout and has definitely gotten bigger.
-installs- a lot of plays from under center and quite a bit of 2 TE sets. In 2 TE, the starters seemed to be Pegues and Frazier. In wider sets the TE starters seem to be Pegues and Fromm. HBs were Pegues and Deal. WRs were Canion, Malcolm Johnson, and Ja’varrius Johnson.
-in QB drills, a lot of focus on fundamentals, footwork and getting shoulders pointed towards the target. Bo was getting pointers and work in on the side with Harsin and maybe Bobo.
-some other random things I noticed: Moultry got a lot of time with the starters and looked the part, Jaren Handy was super high energy and was hyping up other guys, Derick Hall looked really good and like a difference maker, Jeremiah Wright (#76) got a lot of time with the starters- he looked big and moved well, Tyler Fromm also got a good bit of time with the 1s and he didn’t seem out of place, Ja’varrius Johnson looks small out there, but he ran good routes, is very quick and showed good hands.
War Eagle!

Considering the weight gain of the DT’s noted in the player-measurement thread, this doesn’t surprise me.
