Also in the Advocate this morning, Skyler said he's 'almost 100%', and that he hasn't felt any pain in his ankle since right after the surgery in June (which was caused by the incision sutchers) http://www.2theadvocate.com/stories/080705/lsu_tigers001.shtml
Some notes on Sundays practice Today the upperclassmen practiced in helmets and shorts. A few of the upperclassmen like XC and Keron Gordon were going to practice this evening with the feshmen since there are so few of them. That will probably give them more reps. Skyler ran very good today with no noticeable limp. Livings looks to be in the best shape of all the big guys again. Flynn and Russell both looked good with JR being the more accurate of the 2 on touch passes. Surprised he would show up with so many LSU fans hating him, he's living danegerously.
Would you care to post the link or it is considered misinfo my friend. <<Originally Posted by philter I'm sure there will be some good stories, most of the info above is of that nature...just not much to scrape together at the moment. One positive bit to take away from this is that in 2004, 30 players failed the conditioning tests...this year, two. Says a lot about how the players responded to Miles and the leadership the upper classmen are giving and the team's commitment to excellence this year. Of the two that failed, one is a chronic case and the other was due to surgery. That's pretty amazing imo.>> I dont record such posting by LSUsports.net
I was wondering the same thing. Haven't hear about the strength test or the ten 40 yard dashes this year.
i just got off of the phone with rp, and he confirmed all of what you said... He said that all but two of the players passed the tests... and he said that one was indeed a starting lineman, but that he didnt know who, because they weren't in the same group... He told me he was very pleased with the play of all the QBs, and that he is very challenged, and is very excited about the season... He said the strength of the team is hands down WR and RB... he said that he is predicting a huge scoring output this year... When i asked about Miles' practice, he said that he was very tough, and very hard, but in a fatherly way, not in a mean way... He also told me to thank you ppl... the fans... b/c he does read the site often, and he appreciates the support...
But look at his photos on Rivals (if you have membership)... He's NOT fat. At 6-5, 250 lbs. just looks "average" on someone that tall. I mean, any less and he would look like a toothpick. Remember, Culpepper was 260+ when he was at UCF.
