If anyone hears anything about how individual players are doing in Spring ball please let the board know. 7 practices left before Spring game and no reporting on how players are looking? That is very disappointing.

With media only getting access to the first 30 minutes of practice, and the public closed off, it's tough to see enough to be able to provide practice reports like we used to. Stretching and warm-ups don't provide much perspective. I'm surprised that the TU website doesn't have anything though since their staff has full access to all the practices.If anyone hears anything about how individual players are doing in Spring ball please let the board know. 7 practices left before Spring game and no reporting on how players are looking?

Anybody have any idea whether this is a legit transfer? Twitter is negative, I heard he loved campus, and his girlfriend is the best looking young woman to go to TU in twenty or so years. Doesn’t add up.Reed Martin had no business at TU with the runninng backs we have.
As I mentioned in my Spring Roster Analysis, he's not on the spring roster, and TU confirmed to me that he plans to transfer.Anybody have any idea whether this is a legit transfer?
Norris, Pugh, Wyatt, Welch and Fitzwater all played last season, but most were minor contributors. Flanary and Muhammad would have made an impact in 2019, so stinks to lose them.Alot of those guys that left aren't really going to cause anything negative not having them, Reed Martin had no business at TU with the runninng backs we have . Will Hefley would not have been competing anyway so that was just a wasted scholarship. Who knows on the others
@Larry Lewis will be covering the spring game, and he usually tries to jot down who is running 1st and 2nd team if possible.Chris is right. It's Monty that's restricting access to practices. And why?? All those able to go to Spring Game....take notes! And I suppose that the TW will have a wrap-up the day after. We might have an idea of who's doing what to whom at that time.
We're missing Chris Paul this Spring. It'll be good to have him back in the fall. Yes, interesting to see how Couch is doing @ center & Gadlin especially at right tackle, both with the1's.It will be interesting to see how deep we are at OL with the second group going against this experienced DL
Chris Ivy is solid at left tackle with Gerard Wheeler behind him. Gadlin and Hartin are competing on the right side.@Chris Harmon how are we doing at left and right tackle
It's between Smith and Boomer at the moment...both have looked good in the limited time I've seen them.@Chris Harmon how's the QB battle?
Yes, Brin has been impressive. Smith definitely has an NFL arm.Apparently Brin is impressing the staff too. I like how quick his motion is. Smith has a very strong arm. Both Smith and Brin throw a ball that spins very fast. A ball like that is easier to catch, and stays on target better, especially in the wind.
But is he NFL accurate with NFL discipline to get the feet right and the bail delivered into the window on time? That’s the question. The quickness of his release is absurd. But throwing takes more than an arm. Feet, core, vision, concentration. Lots of unknowns with him after so much time off and ups and down when he was actually playing.Yes, Brin has been impressive. Smith definitely has an NFL arm.
Interesting how we didn’t hear a peep about Brin until they announced Skipper wasn’t practicing. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? He doesn’t look like he put on much weight though.Apparently Brin is impressing the staff too. I like how quick his motion is. Smith has a very strong arm.

I was happy to hear Marquardt mentioned too. I really thought he might sneak up the depth chart over a period of years. Would love to see him play in the same situations you mention, down 40 etc. Or on the other end of the spectrum, in a game that is well in hand in the 4th quarter with an FCS team, for that matter.Interesting how we didn’t hear a peep about Brin until they announced Skipper wasn’t practicing.

It is good that they are mentioning Marquardt. He was a heck of a high school player. His tape is absurd. Just undersized. At one point he was what, QB6 or QB7, and not even on the roster? But he stuck with it. And his parents are super nice and even drive up for games they know he won’t play in. I have a hard time believing he has fewer qualifications to be on the field than Hefley and maybe even Boomer. If we are 1-6 and down 40 points to a team we used to pummel, it would be nice to see what he can do.
I still think he's a pretty talented kid. But he's also a pretty intellectual kid and sometimes that need to think things through and analyze things actually slows down that process of making a decision. I would bet he's a heck of a chess player and I don't mean that as a knock. My son is a GK in soccer and his biggest struggle is just reacting as he always tries to read the play and know where a kid is shooting instead of just reacting at times. You can visibly see him working through the situation at times.Wish him the best. I think he saw the writing on the wall.
I don't believe it's injury related. From what I understand, he's pursuing another sport. I'll post some details in Hurricane Alley.I hope Luke stays in school and finishes his degree at TU. My understanding is he is a pretty bright kid. His back injury must have been pretty serious.
