CrimWalCoug All-American in practice
Things I'll be watching for in the first week of fall camp
1. Weight gains by OL and DE: many of our backup OL are severely undersized (Austin Hoyt - 282 lbs, JJ Nwigwe - 278 lbs, Addison Pulsipher - 268 lbs, Thomas Shoaf - 265 lbs) and have hopefully spent the offseason getting bigger (and uglier); Sae Tautu (245 lbs) and Sione Takitaki (240 lbs) have reportedly moved from LB to DE and hopefully added 15 to 20 pounds of good weight (come on coconut butt!)

2. Health of those who were injured last year: Taysom Hill is the obvious one to watch but how is the health of Scott Huntsman, Troy Hinds, Rhett Sandlin, Kai Nacua, Travis Tuiloma, Kyle Johnson, Nick Kurtz, Mitch Juergens, and Talon Shumway among others? there's always a couple of projected starters who don't end up starting due to injury - who is it this season?

3. Position changes: this staff seems to be showing the willingness to move guys around, who's next? Troy Hinds and Scott Huntsman to TE is intriguing; what side of the ball does Akile Davis end up on? does Troy Warner take meaningful snaps on offense? is there some other change that no CBer has even thought of yet?

4. Can any newcomers not named Squally (WSU transfer), Jonah (Snow transfer), Handsome (Snow transfer), Keyan Norman (SUU transfer), or Andrew Eide (other SUU transfer) make the two-deep this year? with walk-ons, RMs, recent high school graduates, and transfers there are plenty of possibilities; with the severe lack of depth on the interior d-line I am hopeful one of the many recent Poly RMs steps up and grabs a spot there
