Spring break, practice resumes 3/20.Have practices been locked down or have I missed info coming out?
Spring break, practice resumes 3/20.
Not in the spring.Does UK/Stoops allow much coverage of his practices?
No. they alternate having defensive or offensive coaches speak after practice. Stoops speaks once per week (Thursdays, IIRC). You get very, very little detail from the comments - mostly coachspeak.Does UK/Stoops allow much coverage of his practices? Kirby gives the media 8 minutes a practice and some days that is warmups, occasionally he doesn't allow any coverage, a 180 from the Richt days.

Seems to be working out okay, Grumpy.At least you get to hear from the coaches, Kirby doesn't let them or frosh speak to the media, and picks the guys who do speak and answer questions. Our spring practices starts next week and we won't hear much and see less until spring game. Fall is just as tight, quite a change from the former staff when most practice ?was open, coaches gave interviews and media got to request who they wanted to talk with.
About all we get is practice is very physical and fast paced. We have quite a few spots up for grabs this spring and fall, but not the 31 that UT and Carolina claims, but we will have 8-10 new starters come fall and won't likely know who most are until game week.
i don't understand not having some open practices at least to media! Promote your product! Surely opponents aren't gonna learn that much from what a few fans or media would see. Even if some moles got in, how much could they really learn that would help them against us next fall?

Not sure I understand that. Practice for a couple of days take a 10 day hiatus then resume. Why not wait till after spring break to start?UK hasn't practiced for 10 days and won't be practicing again until tomorrow (Monday) so there's been nothing to report.

Yep, said that above...guess some missed it.Practice resumes on Tuesday (3/20).
one is to get the no pads days out of the way,
Think they want to finish up well before end of semester.Not sure I understand that. Practice for a couple of days take a 10 day hiatus then resume. Why not wait till after spring break to start?
Agree. Would add that our coaches are closely evaluating Looney, Carter. Stoops already commented on it. Looney still has a chance to inherit the tackle position from Middleton in 2019, and both these guys could play big roles on our defense if they turn it up. But with so much new talent coming on our defensive line, both could get buried if they don’t turn it up.Spring watch on offense: WRs and QBs. What will spring ball look like w/o TEs?
Spring watch on defense: Does the unit improve? Depth and experience at every position. Questions at every position.

This may answer your question: If you will notice they only practice 3 times a week and stretch practice out over a 6 week period for maximum effect of their 15 allowed practices.

I can envision a mysterious man sitting in an average sedan, near the practice facility, 15 minutes after a practice, messaging to Knoxville on his cell phone [in code, of course].
And somewhere on the Big Orange campus, someone else sitting at a "receiver," jotting down notes as he attempts to decode the message . . . . .
He pulls the earphones from his head as the import of the missive sinks into his thick head . . . .
"Somebody fetch a Coach . . . . Kentucky has a kid named 'Shell,' and he's going to run it down our throats!"
"gimme games"? historically we don't have those!LOL, and using their stationary satellite positioned overhead for a better look of course.
Only one solution, hold Snell out of any of the spring practices, say he has a broken leg for the spring game AND the gimme games at the start of the year. The streak is the most important thing, Florida won't know what hit them.
