A long time contact of mine gave me permission to publish this. He was able to see a good chunk of spring practices. He offered these observations. I post them here verbatim:
<<
You told me about Storm Klein. He should not be this good this soon. Not with playing linebacker so little in high school. He is the worst thing that ever happened to Sabino who would continue to get a heavy does of reps. Klein will take his job.
Lamaar Thomas has the same problem that Sabino has. He was given the ball and told to make plays in high school. He is lost out there and now seems hesitant.
Zack Boren will never play here. He was moved to linebacker to get him out of the way. Youth is the one common denominator at fullback. They want to concentrate the practice time with the kids who are going to play.
If they throw the ball to Stoneburner he will make big plays. They are throwing it to him in practice but I have seen them throw to the tight end in practice for years. Dilillo is the best tight end on the roster. He is a better blocker than Stoneburner and a better receiver than Ballard.
I am right in the middle about Cordle at tackle. I hear some saying he looks good. You as well as others don't want to hear about a natural inside player playing tackle. My observation says he is going to be as good as Barton. Not great, but a major improvement over Browning.
Put Blankenships tenacity in Brownings body and you would have another Marcus Hall. I hear about Brewster being nasty, Shugarts and Boren too. Blankenship belongs in that group too.
Miller looked alot better in practice through the camp than he showed in the spring game.
