I read it on the MSU Cats Twitter page this morning. SFA is live right now.

May was not with the QB's?

May was not with the QB's?

Not when I was watching he wasn't.

And Hill was out there with the linebackers today, so I don't think he is hurt as some mentioned on the other thread.

Couple things I've noticed so far while watching:

- Luke May is now wearing a white (defense) #16 jersey and didn't take any reps at QB. This tells me that the coaches want him on the traveling team and will likely work him in at safety or corner during practice. Will likely be a key special teams player.

- Josh Hill is practicing. He wasn't listed on the depth chart after Saturday's scrimmage but he was taking live reps with the #1 defense during team period (unless I saw a wrong number). Anyway, he doesn't appear to be injured.

- Our true freshman defensive lineman (Kyle Rygg, Travis Yates, Jaxen Hashley, Eta Leota) are not small individuals. Saw Jaxen walking around on the sideline and I just don't see how he isn't playing offensive line by the end of his career. He is just getting too damn tall for the defensive line.

- Liked how freshman linebackers Tadan Gilman, Sal Aguilar, and Jackson McCleery all moved. Crazy that we got Aguilar and McCleery as walk-ons.

- Chad Kanow was taking linebacker reps and this is likely due to the fact he may play the Will spot down the road.

- Chris Murray is throwing lasers and his delivery is much more compact/quicker.

I saw a Skyline tweet about James Campbell. Says he looked quick. Did you see him?

Murray has come a long ways. He looks like Prukop. Needs to be more focused in practice and when things are going well, but is money under pressure.

Agreed, I see him playing RT next season, maybe even cracks the 2-deep there

This may have been the trigger to move May.

Our tackles for the foreseeable future are Lewis Kidd at left tackle and Mitch Brott at right tackle. I would like it if Jaxen got acclimated to the strength program for a few years to get his legs under him. He grew a lot during his high school career so I hope the staff moves him along patiently the first few years. He can still make it as a defensive lineman at end or tackle.

Was Kidd practicing today? Got helped off on Saturday...

Did not see Lewis Kidd practice. The o-line groups were split between these two groups:

1st Team - Mahoney, McFetridge, Neale, Gillis/Tuiasosopo, Brott
2nd Team - (presumably Kidd), Wood, Redd, Gillis/Tuiasosopo, Hammock

The other group at the opposite side of the field was Wade Webster, Jake Sessions, Sean Hatten, Jarrod Asche, Denver Krone, and Brody McKnight. I'm surprised Wade Webster didn't beat out Connor Wood. When MSU recruited Wade, I loved his size but didn't like his feet. He is a redshirt junior and couldn't beat out a true freshman (Wood) and redshirt freshman (Tuiasosopo/McFetridge) at guard or push for time at right tackle behind Brott (who's primary backup is Colin Hammock - a walk-on redshirt sophomore).

regarding Webster being beat out by several younger guys....

Seems to be a fairly general theme that "Choate Recruits" are beating out "Ash Recruits"............... I do not believe this is due to choate favoring his recruits either, I think it just shows that this current coaching staff is just that much better at recruiting.

For example- I know the star ratings don't really mean crap.... but I remember it being a big deal if Ash was able to get a 3 star recruit.... It seems like every single recruit that Choate is getting is a 3 star! (not including MT kids)

Again, I don't think Coach Ash (and staff) were bad at recruiting, they did a good job..... But from what I can see, Choate and Company are at a whole different level.
