Spring Practice 1 observations

[Sebastian Font]

Spring practice is upon us which means we get our first look at the 2026 Hurricanes who will aim to go one step further than last year’s squad who fell just short in the national championship.

lol someone on Twitter who is supposedly at practice said Barkate doesn’t look good and probably the 7th best WR. Hahahaha I hate our fan base man.

I’m sure it’s somewhere on the board, but are we having a spring game or just scrimmages?

I do like him to have a much better year this season.

Seems to be a recurring theme after the 2001 season…

Thanks for the update

Won't be hard for him to top last season's performance or the year before.

Michael Irvin II might have a better season

Remember how down people were on Bain after he had a poor sophomore season dealing with some injuries and being a touch out of shape. Pepperidge Farms remembers. I look at Lofton similarly.

our offense is becoming more explosive. the speed kids like Spafford, jacbobs, Pringle, briggs, and mueller bring has been missing from their respective position groups.

Except bain had a great freshman year and wasn’t poor in his sophomore year..Lofton situation isn’t similar

If that's true (unlikely) then we have a tremendous WR room.

We still have to wait 64 days just to get to the 100 day countdown.
