Arkansas practice notes

Newcomer practice was at 3 and the returning guys practiced at 6. Some newcomers that are thought to play this year didn't practice with the rest of the incoming class but instead went to the vets practice only. Those guys were Cook, Smothers, Danenhauer, Small, Wade, Highsmith and Peacock.

I obviously didn't attend practice but these are some of the things I picked up while checking out the different sites.

-Brey Cook is cross training and Tackle and Gaurd. In the scrimmage portion of practice he mainly lined up at Guard.

-The first team o-line in the scrimmage was Freeman and Peacock at the Tackles, B. Cook and Bailey at Guard and Swanson at Center.

-Freeman, Peacock and Smothers were rotating at the Tackle spots.

-The play of the day was a deep pass from Wilson to Marquel Wade who made a spectacular one handed catch on the ball.

-Knile is visibly the fastest player on the field.

-DJ looks healthy and no hesitation from his injury.

-Wilson was staring down his primary receiver too much. Lots of dump downs because of this.

-First team defense was blitzing a ton which is unusual on day one.

-Bequette lived in the backfield all day.

-Jerry Franklin is even bigger than last year. How that is possible, I do not know.

-Madison and Winston are finally working as first team CB's. Jerry Mitchell is now second team. One guy thinks Tevin Mitchell will push for a lot of playing time. Based off shorts workout so who knows how reliable that is.

-Ugly Uncle thinks Tank Wright looks like a Greek God.

-Petrino said after practice that Childs is slow coming out of his cuts and they need to figure out what the problem is.

-Lots of running

-Brey Cook and Chris Smith took the brunt of the yelling today.

-One of the coaches thinks that Small will be the suprise of the class. Allegedly he is a work out warrior and loves to hit. Sounds like a good replacement for Stumon if thats the truth.

That's all I have for now, feel free to add more as you hear/see it.
