I haven't pushed much for specific information, but what I'm hearing is that things are going very well. Guys coming off injuries last year are impressing. Everyone appears to be in great shape. The coaches worked them well the first week, but didn't push too hard. Things are expected to ramp up this week and each week until the season starts. New coaches are fitting right in and players are responding well to them. New transfer receivers look real good.

That is a great news! If Swinton and Lockett live up to their recruiting/big ten pedigree and can step into those roles that Drummond and Beydoun leave behind (big shoes I knwo) that is a massive boost to the offense. I'm hoping Swinton and Lockett are the offensive version Sparacio and Kline; two power-5 transfers that come into the same unit and take it up a notch.

The staff has a knack for finding good transfer/JUCO WR - Sergio Bailey, Arthur Jackson, Darius Lassiter - so hopefully that trend continues. They'll need someone to step up.
