The Good:

Michael Taylor looked excellent.
On one play he accidentally whipped Riggs down with his legs while making a tackle and Riggs had to leave the field.
Corey Miller was raved about although we did not get to see him play much.

No matter how nicely they tried to spin it, Urban Meyer's weird leaving and not leaving loomed large in a negative way on Florida's players. They said they expect him back by August. That will be nice, he can fake a heart attack at halftime of the Gators beat down in Knoxville.

The Bad:

Da'Rick Rogers is a grown man. He looks like Julio Jones, or Dez Bryant level talent. I wish he was not headed to Athen.

The Ugly:

Dietrich Riley was probably the worst looking player in the secondary. He is a safety who was trying to play corner man, but he was burned badly every time.

Joshua Shaw on the other hand looked like the best corner out there aside from Lamarcus Joyner. He was very impressive. I hate that he is headed to Gainesville. He also talks to Urban Meyer every day he said. You really believe all those calls are initiated by him?

Corey Nelson looked good but all the guys who cover for them for the Big 12 made it sound like he would end up in Texas.

TN came up only after they focused on the "NCAA investigation" that is centered around the hostesses. They repeated that they expect Brandon Willis to decommit.

6 of the ESPN top 10 teams are in the SEC. Pretty absurd.

Id say it was Nick Dew a VT commit, he got burned like every play, but they said he never played corner that he's always played SS so he had an excuse!

No it was odd that Chaz Green and JuWuan James made the written reports, but were not discussed at all in the practice show. I am guessing that those OL will be covered in the second practice tomorrow but I do not know if I can stomach another 2 hours plus with the remote.

Taylor-made LB
11:03 a.m. ET -- During shedding drills White team LB Michael Taylor is showing his trademark power and explosiveness for a smaller LB (6-0, 193).

I think Michael Taylor is the most underrated player we have coming in next year and will end up being one of the best...His Highlight tape looks great with the way he runs full speed and makes big plays and tackles...
