On today's CanesInSight Podcast, Pete and I broke down the three players we were most excited to watch tomorrow at the spring game. A transcript of that discussion is below:

DMoney: “Pete, I wanted to go through three players we’re excited to see tomorrow — guys who have been flashing so we want everybody else to get their eyes on them, and also guys we want to see respond to the bright lights.

“To me, the first one that jumps to mind is Javian Mallory. Running back is such a...

Love the shout out to Mack. He was the guy we all thought would be the breakout player from that class, then his injury knocked him out and OJ never looked back. So happy he's getting his shot now.

I have no idea how our staff are going to keep all those DBs happy. **** are we deep in talent across the backfield.
 
It's tough with Spring because there are so many guys and they won't all get a ton of snaps. I'm most interested in seeing the progress of:

Scroggins
Both DT portal guys
Bonner
Wiley
Mack
Edwards
Slime
Hussey
Dunnigan

Nickel
Lyle
Every TE
Rodriguez
McCoy at T
Wingo
Jacobs and Vaughn
 
Nickel the QB and the position

Also really need to see who steps up at the guard spots. Having Cooper for the last 4 years has made life easier and we still had some trouble finding consistency at the other guard spot
 
I mean what are we supposed to be seeing tomorrow? Here is my take from Mario's mouth, their will be a half of practice, a quarter of thud and a quarter of live football. You guys understand it has to be vanilla. Besides every player being held out, everyone will play.

Now this will be a great pre game event to meet players (Canesfest). It will be great to socialize with the other Canes there. What are we supposed to look for in a quarter of live vanilla play? I assume every player will see the field in this quarter of live football. I am honestly not complaining, but come on, we can't break down any one player with that. That is obviously the point.

JJ Dunnigan
Ryan Mack
Kellen Wiley
Herbert Scroggins
Josh Moore
Ben Congdon
Booker Pickett
Jordan Lyle
Jaden Wilkerson
Javian Mallory
Elija Lofton
Chris Ewald
 
Mallory vision/footwork/processing screams off his hs tape. He’s a super polished rb for his age, I almost tiered him at a star or starter but idk about the athletic traits

I also said before but i really think our guard play can be better this year, Samson/Buchannan are two of the most talented players on the team imo

My 3 would be:
Wilson
Mccoy
Luke gilbert
HM: whoever’s at nickel
 
Keep Mensah, Mali, Fletcher, Barkate, OJ, Brown, Moten, Lucas, annd scott all in bubble wrap. I assume the real scrimmage was last week, so let the younger guys get most of the snaps today.
