Sorry I didn't even see this thread. Things I've heard seen thus far...
OL seems about set, left to right cam rob, Lester, Ross p, Kennedy or Bozeman, j Williams.
Defense needs no explanations it looks good Evans like I said is at ILB, DL got a bolster with Davis and King.
QB, bottom line Cornwallis is about done he just can't keep up.
All three have a legit shot at this. Bateman has looked good. Obviously two glaring issues, extreme deep ball, confidence when the lights are on. I think his confidence is better.
Barnett, has improved, still alittle wild with the ball and some weird passes so far. But all in all much better. Pay attention to this, players in his class have fully bought in to him and he wants to be better.
Hurts, Very football smart, true DT, strong arm. As my source put it" cool as a cucumber with defense baring down on him". Not a talker, he likes to show not talk.
Summary: if a gun was to my head I'd pick Bateman, however each qb will get the same number of reps with 1st team and that absolved will decide it. It's wide open. Once they pick a guy and he doesn't fall apart he gets the reps from there out. This process can go into the season btw.
Only other thing to iron out is the Fitz move or stay nickel or outside. They will decide if someone else or him stays dedicated outside DB.
Edit: OJ Howard has looked amazing. Very physical he smells the $$$&

I'll trust the QB that gets the nod but I would love to see Hurts with Kiffin's playcalling.

Not many people watching practice.
One guy from the AJC, says about 67 people there.

How can Bateman still be this bad? Just start Barnett and deal with the growing pains.

I agree, if it's close, then go with the younger guy.

— Blake Barnett looked good and comfortable in an early 7-on-7. All of them were short-to-intermediate throws, but he was 5 of 5 or 6 of 6 during that session. —
A couple off-target throws from Cooper Bateman in 7-on-7. A deep comeback bounced at the feet of the intended receiver. A short throw over the middle was then low and off-target. —
Tony Brown is at free safety.

Kiffin the renegade with the red shoes! Lol! This QB stuff is BS. If Bateman can't handle the pressure of practice, man, I don't want to see him when the Trojans take the field in September. Cut your losses and move on to the two young guns.

Bateman is all over the place, from what I've read.

Judging by those pictures on the scan bar, if we have to play in the rain this season we are going to be in trouble.

Sounds like Barnett is going to be the guy. #TheTruth
