And just like that, spring ball is around the corner. The Spring two-deep chart was released earlier today.

Some things of note: Moss, Covey, Nacua, Bernard, and Tonga will not participate in camp due to injury.
Other missing players of note: Jack Jackson, Nick Heningar, Philip Afia, and Donavon Thompson have all left the program.
Camp starts next week. Let’s get after it!

Hostile. Any guesses about what’s going on with Covey’s arm in this?!

Looks like a functional brace for a forearm fracture.Quote:

What's the story on Heningar? Every year he's the breakout star in spring ball but ihs playing time has been severely limited during the year. Is he going somewhere else to play? Thompson and Afia are tough to lose. They are backups, but they are seasoned back-ups.Quote:

Good Interview with Andy Ludwig:

Full interview with Kyle Whittingham. Interesting tidbit, he makes it sound that Afia was a injury retirement, not looking to transfer. I hadn’t heard that.

Sounds like armand Shyne is transferring.
I hate to lose a contributing player, but what I saw from Shyne last year was not impressive. But, he is our second best running back on the roster. Who fills the role?Quote:

Any updates from our insiders on the scrimmage from Saturday?
I think I heard/read that Kyle said that Bills, the recently returned missionary who was a DL is moving to OL, but he's also hurt.Quote:

So I read that Johnson missed a couple easy field goals on Saturday. We have had amazing kickers for years now, is there any worry that this may be the weak spot in the team now?
Yes, I think it is a huge concern. Hackett said that some of the problems are the result of the holders also being new. He said that the new Aussie punter is trying to learn to hold, but that it is difficult and not always smooth, which is a problem for the kickers. The ideal is for the punter to also be the holder. That way they can work together throughout practice without needing to take other players away from their normal activities.Quote:

What irony that the season when all the other parts of our team seem to be at their best is when our kicking game goes to pot. #kickerU
I think I heard somewhere that Covey would be the guy, not Huntley or Shelly.Quote:

I highly doubt that; in my experience those guys can always find something to complain about.Quote:
