And so it begins. There are 28 days until Fresno, and summer practice commences tomorrow. All updates about the team will be posted here, including running back reports (will Kordell start? and how is his knee holding up?), linebacker reports (is Abreu as beastly as projected?), offensive line reports (who will fill the 3 remaining voids in the line?), and much more. Stay tuned.
Well, today was check-in day. One thing to note: Blair Bines is up to 260+ lbs and will be making the move from linebacker to defensive tackle. Looks like Eric LeGrand might make the two deep at MLB now.

Not only will Bines be switched to DT, but Alex Silvestro will make the move as well. As a result, Westerman is back to end (thank goodness). Kordell Young and Damaso Munoz are both cleared for full go, which is a very good sign. Young is definitely the favorite to start if you ask me.
Bulked Up Abreu Poised To Perform Also, Kenny Britt tweaked his ankle in todays practice. Nothing more than that has been reported, so I'm assuming it's not too serious.
Some more tidbits: ^ That's true freshman Keith Stroud. Kenny Britt clone? Possibly. Look at that vert. Fellow true freshman, Eric LeGrand, will be tried at the 3 technique, but I have a hunch he'll stay at the Mike. And of course, Luicci's notebook. Highlights: True frosh, Scott Vallone, is still recovering from foot surgery; Eric LeGrand (as mentioned) is being tried at DT; Kenny Britt did not tweak his ankle, but rather he had cramps (along with Ti and Dennis Campbell); Zaire Kitchen ran with the first team at safety today (robo-safety, indeed).
