I took some pictures and will post them either tonight when I get home or tomorrow, but I was out there for about an hour and a half.

Quick notes:

-There was a lot of energy. The players were very encouraging and supportive. Woody was very vocal and made it a point to acknowledge his teammates.

-Nathan Tune has bulked up from last year.

-Meager threw the ball the best and looked the most comfortable, Woody was surprisingly good too.

-Evan Fentriss was out there wearing #4 and he looked sharp. He was the best route runner.

-Fitzgerald and Jackson were extremely impressive, Fitzgerald looked very fast and Jackson pulled down everything thrown in his direction.

-Isiah Smith was diving for balls and hustled the whole time. He made a few of the defenders miss during the live drills.

-#84 (Charlie Brown??) and #17 also looked sharp, they both ran some good deep routes, #48 did well on the shorter routes

-Dodge had a drill called "crawfish" which was a bubble screen drill (Fentriss looked the best and the bigger TE types struggled)

-#77 (Santiago??) is a beast at DT (he was big and could move), he and Burress were dominating during the Off/Def drills.

-The DBs looked ok. Warren made some big plays. Green was by far the most physical corner and made some big plays.

-The LBs looked a little slower and had trouble in coverage. Holman looked like he has been living in the weight room.

-I didn't see much of the RBs.

-The whole Dodge family was out there. Riley and some SLC guys showed up and were there the whole time. Mrs. Dodge was very social and seemed very friendly. Molly just stood by herself for most of the afternoon.

-I don't know what Kyle Russo looks like, but there was a kid there that fit his build and his dad was wearing a SLC shirt.

-James Mitchell was out there, I didn't see any other former players

-The coaches were a lot more hands on then the past regime and they kept yelling "Oklahoma"

-Dodge worked with the QBs in a drill where he was on a knee and the QB walked away from him and whenever they turned aroung he threw a blocking pad at them after a second or two of the QB bouncing around he yelled out a number which indicated where to throw the ball

Overall the team looked good and I am excited about 2007. I will post the pics soon.

I am not expecting it by any means, but it would not shock me at all if Riley changed his decision to go to UT.

Great reports! Thanks for the photo's--anyway you could make notes on the players

in each photo, names/numbers? My understanding is that offensive players are in

white and defensive players in green-correct?

You mentioned Santiago was on the defense--I thought he was moved to OT. If he

is at DT, great! I would like to see DT #77 Santiago against OG #78 Foster-wow

I bet that is a war! #17 Brain Nelson at WR that is interesting. Davenport is playing

at what position?

Did you get a roster that you could post?

Thanks

I think that I have a better chance of winning the lottery than for Riley to change his commitment to UT. However, if after a couple of years he either gets disgruntled over lack of playing time, or the position that he is playing, and if his dad is still at North Texas, then he might consider finishing out his career at UNT.
