Spring Practice No. 1

Hey everyone. I'll doll this up as the morning progresses. Here are the basics:

• Cam Newton is wearing the No. 2 jersey. Photographic evidence above.
  
  
• Daren Bates (shoulder) and Travante Stallworth (knee) didn't participate in practice.
  
  
• Eric Smith did.
  
  
• Philip Pierre-Louis was there, too!
  
  
• Quindarius Carr and Mario Fannin were the only guys fielding punts. That's a stretch, though ... Trooper Taylor had them heading the ball like soccer players. I guess that's a drill to help them align under the ball properly.
  
  
• The new offensive lineman's name is now listed as Roszell Gaydon. Note the "o". His jersey reads "Gayden." We'll have to see which version is correct.
  
  
• The wideout from Brantley is now Anthony Gulley Morgan. His jersey reads "Morgan."
  
  
• Tyrik Rollison was not out there. He's not listed on the roster. He'll remain on scholarship through the school year.
  
  
• Brandon Mosley began the first drill as the top guy at right tackle. Roszell Gaydon was the second guy there.
  
  
• The New Guy numbers: Newton (2), Gaydon (78), Mosley (75), Jessel Curry (33) and Craig Sanders (13).
