I'm anxiously awaiting the spring roster Wanted to bump this - Spring ball is 10 days away and all practices are open for our wonderful fans who'd like to go and report back their observations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDMac Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 3 days!! @LZIp - Just for clarification, the image tweeted above list only the practices that are open to the public. They will have several more than that throughout the Spring practice period. I'm shooting to be there for the 3/22 practice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) U of A Football: Spring practice begins with Kato Nelson in a lead role, several positions up for grabs “Kato is clearly No. 1, but one of the most impressive players in our offseason program has been Alex Ramart.” This is the competition I am most interested in. I'd be surprised if Kato doesn't begin next season as the starter... but I'm really excited to see what Alex brings to the table. I'm looking forward to @CDMac keeping us in the know! According to the article Suggs won't be in the mix this spring because of a legal issue. :/ Edited March 18, 2018 by Blue & Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Not a bad article by GT, to be honest. Bowden singling out the #2 QB (and a R. Freshman at that) as the having the most impressive offseason is a really good thing to read. Seems we will be set no matter what ends up happening at that position. I don't like hearing the Suggs news at all. @94zipgradI can't help but think you just dropped us another "hint". I like to be a little more direct - Is Robbie Kelley no longer on the team and/or did Johns leave/continue with the change of position?

I have a buddy of a buddy so what i hear i truly never know if details are accurate & they don’t disclose injuries & they definitely don’t say what the injury is so i stay vague but i believe Johns is staying at TE/Hback, & Kelley has a season ending injury & should be back next year but again i’m NO insider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Prospectus shows 3 vacancies on the coaching staff. One left by Coach Amato; one left by Coach Hickson; and a 10th spot which the NCAA opened up recently. Anyone have any inside scoop on who's going to fill those spots? I'm assuming the coach from STVM is going to be working behind the scenes and won't count toward the "coach" numbers.

I heard St. V Coach is doing linebackers, one of the offensive grad asst. from last year is doing the TE/H back since Boykin went to RB not announcing. DC makes you think a little, i thought they would give to Stroud & let Thompson the video guy do DL as he works with them now, maybe Stroud, just a guess doesn’t feel comfortable taking for health reasons, be interested in seeing what we do, any old Bowden connections out there ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 IDK where else to put this...but I thought it was odd. I don't think I've heard of an eligibility situation like this before. Good luck LaVonne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Weird that he can be out of D-I eligibility but can get another year playing at a lower division. Really doesn't help our OL situation at all. Best of luck to him where ever he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
