BURN THE HORSE
Thanks again to UALR Coach Steve Shields and his staff for opening up Friday's first official practice to the public. A few observations:
- UALR started practice with all 17 players in uniform and on the court. That included Gus Leeper, the last of the walking wounded to get cleared.
- There are still some lingering injuries that they're dealing with, keeping at least three out of much of the action.
- Friday's practice was pretty vanilla. I'd expect the pace to really pick up over the weekend.
- Still, it was pretty typical of early-season practices. There was a little blood drawn on at least two occasions.
- The physical transformation of the returning players from last season to this season is remarkable. Credit goes to John Barron.
- Good to see former Trojans Solomon Bozeman, Courtney Jackson and Mike Smith there tonight
- Next chance to take a look is Nov. 1 at Meet The Trojans.
