Quick thoughts/observations:
Good format and lots of snaps with lots of reps for a ton of guys. Was very entertaining to watch live and I'm hoping to go back and watch the TV broadcast.

1st team defense looked solid. Very active up front and they just make it tough with the different looks they give you and how reactive the back 8 are after the snap. They squeeze the seams and close ground incredibly fast.

Very impressed with Denis Jaquez and Jatius Geer. Both of those guys are going to be players. Jaquez has a great first step and seemed to set the edge with ease. Most of his reps were against Enrique Cruz, who I thought also looked really good, just tended to set a little too far outside which led to him getting beat once badly where Jaquez ended up with a sack.

WR group looks bigger and more physical than any in recent history. Gadsden and Hatcher really stand out with how fluid they are in and out of their breaks and I thought they both caught the ball very well. Kendall Long also impressed me with his route running. I was disappointed that he wasn't targeted. Surprise of the night was Donovan Brown. He looked terrible in warm ups, seemed like he misjudged the ball a lot and ended up short on a lot of his routes. In live action I thought he was impressive given that he just got on campus. He's got size and speed and caught the ball fairly well. Biggest surprise was how instinctive he was after the catch, usually picking up extra yards by fighting through contact and finding space.

We are stacked at running back. Price and Allen both looked really good.

I don't want to wish the summer away, but August can't get here soon enough.
