Practice report, 4/19

Hey everyone. Auburn's final spring practice has ended. Here's what we learned today:
  • Coach Gene Chizik said nothing new about the quarterbacks.

  • Chizik said Auburn may make a decision at quarterback tomorrow, during the early summer months, in the middle of the summer, at the end of the summer or during two-a-days.

  • Chizik said news from the Shon Coleman front has been positive during the past 10 days. It's possible that Coleman will report with the other signees this summer.

  • Coleman's mother, DeKeishia Tunstall, posted on her Facebook page Friday that her son was back in a Memphis hospital due to low sodium levels.

  • Chizik said he has spoken occasionally with QB Tyrik Rollison. The coach said Auburn will make Rollison's intentions clear at semester's end ... but curiously didn't rule out the possibility of Rollison returning. I still consider than a 1-in-1,000 shot.

  • Chizik said the plan to move Daren Bates, who currently is out with a shoulder injury, is in tact. He's expected to play linebacker next year. I get the sense it'll be a hybrid deal ... mostly linebacker, some nickel, some safety.

  • QB Clint Moseley (left), as I wrote the other day, still feels like he's not really in the mix at No. 1 quarterback right now. Some people believe he'll transfer. He said today: "Why would I ever leave Auburn? I'm on full scholarship at an SEC school. It's my dream."

  • Assistant coach Curtis Luper said he carefully watched TB Mario Fannin this spring for signs of tentativeness considering his injury-riddled past. Luper didn't see it. "He doesn't shy away. He's a complete back. He's naturally inclined to hit 'em in the mouth."

  • DE Antoine Carter said he has taken up Mike Blanc's offer to go to Haiti. They're going next month. Blanc, if you recall, said nobody aside from Mike McNeil would make that trip. Carter said several players are going ... including Cam Newton.

  • Of the trip, Carter said: "It's going to be like a mission trip. We're going to build stuff ... build it back up."

  • Carter said he's headed to Birmingham on Friday to consult with a tattoo-removal specialist. He wants to have the "HOT BOY" tattoos removed from his face. "It was a bad childhood mistake and it's time to get it fixed," he said.

Dang it! I wanted to go for a Sonic Boom on the flip.

that's cool Cincy. i would've loved to hang with those guys for a couple hours.

i met a lot of guys during the day but chatted for several minutes with Tommy Trott & Chris Todd at Kinnucan's saturday morning. Todd tried to steal my sharpie after signing some stuff for some kids. i wouldn't let that stand. they were nice fellas. ;)

Maybe Seanzie broke the sound barrier and I was the sonic boom, so...BOOM!

By the way, although I generally operate below the sound barrier, I am quick enough to figure out where JGT's articles are located. I was just wondering why he doesn't link them anymore. I thought maybe The Man was giving him some trouble.

From listening to your Hatin' segment last Friday, what's the over/under on when there will be no more HABOTN and you move on from the Gump?

And it is 50 cent hotdog night at Plainsman Park. Which is good if you like hotdogs...

According to Evan Woodbery, the new decal on Auburn's helmet is indeed 5/8 of an inch larger than the previous decal. It is still in the testing phase and no decision has been made. Apparently the thought is it will make it easier to see on TV.

I think the new logo looks great on the newer helmets (revolution, etc), which, to me look like they have a little bigger crown.

It does look a touch out of balance on the more traditional riddell and adams helmets.

F4*, Hot Wife and I just returned from Tiger Trek. It was a good time. Got all the autographs from Chiz, Barbee and some former players (most notable IMO; Brandon Cox and Wayne Bylsma) and of course Aubie. Since F4* was with us, didn't get to hang around long enough to listen to the speechifying but it was fun. If it comes near you, you should go.

You know what's my favorite kind of hot dog? A $0.50 hot dog.

Cool beans Norm. Seeing players and coaches is always fun. Did you see any Hotties?

8:38 PM

I'm really rooting for Gerhart to do well in the NFL. I'm sure part of it is because he is a "white" running back, but I like the guy. Look at his numbers and size and what isn't to like. Plus he is a very smart guy. I think some NFL is going to get a great and productive back.

We may be getting our first BB commitment on Thursday. Langford out of Huntsville is thought to favor Auburn. He is a pretty darn good player and from Al. It would also go a long way in the recruitment of his cousin who plays for the same high school. Oh by the way his cousin is a 6'7" PG.

9:33 PM

Will not having a starting QB named affect the off season workouts? It would seem it would be better to have a starting QB that everyone knew was the man. Of course, it is possible the team already knows.

9:42 PM  
Blogger wtc said...

Steve-I would say they already know. Not by anyone telling them, but as a player, you know a coach doesn't bring in a JUCO to ride the pine, especially at QB.

That is my opinion. I guess they haven't told anyone. If they had, one of the players would have leaked it.

9:44 PM

Avs down 1-0 at the end of the first period.

:(

9:45 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

wtc, I tend to agree. I think the battle is between Caudle and Trotter for the backup spot. I have wondered if Caudle got so many throws because they wanted him to INT his way out of the QB competition.

I didn't stay up until all the hockey was over last night. Sorry about the Avs, E-Bro

Sounds great. And just in time for European skies to open back up for business. It sounds like people with current tickets will still get a preference over delayed passengers, especially on the long-haul flights.

Hopefully she gets home without too much trouble.

Yeah, I've got a feeling I may be shifting all of my hockey interests to the Preds after another couple of days or so.

Good morning all.

Nova, I agree about Gerhart. If a black RB would have been asked questions about his race it would have been all over FoxNews and CNN. Jessie Jackson would be meeting with the commissioner right now.

WTC, Jet or anyone know anything about Cothron?

6:36 AM

Kind of hate to hear that about WKU and KY, only because we play them this weekend. KY is going to be some kind of ticked off after getting the poopoo beat out of them.

From the university site on the AU - Troy game:

A crowd of 2,680 fans attended 50-cent Hot Dog Night, eating a total of 6,793 hot dogs.

Cothron would be a nice get. Has Kemp signed on yet, cause two 4 star guys over 6-8 would be huge for the program.

Finebaum predicts 12-0 for Bama. I love the build-up. I hope they hear this kind of stuff all summer.

Kemp signed last fall, but I'm not sure he's done all his academic work in order to be eligible. So he may be in doubt.

I kinda hope Penn State can do some damage to them. Unfortunately it looks like their only "tough" away games may be @ Arky and @LSU.

I wish we could lose 9 defensive starters and somebody thinks we are going 12-0? When is the last time someone repeated as NC in the BCS era?

That would be never Eddie

8:20 AM  
Blogger Eddie McCoy said...

Exactly MyTommy.

Of course, UF did go 12-0 last year would be the arguement, and my answer would be it returned almost everyone from the previous year and was still lucky to be 12-0.

8:22 AM  
Blogger wtc said...

CHB- Ditto what Jet said regarding Kemp. Would like to have him. He says he still is coming to AU. Needs to get academics in order from what i hear.

Cothron. I think he has eliminated UAt from his list. Barbee has made a huge effort to get him. Mom likes our chances on getting him.
