Spring Conclusion
OU officially wrapped up spring practice with a full pads workout on Tuesday. In his interview on Soonersports, it sounded like Juaquin was pretty disappointed with the offense. After their performance on Saturday, I think the receivers are the only ones that need to be disappointed. He said as much, commenting on the dropped balls and on how important it is to catch everything, no matter where it is. The videos this time only showed Sam Bradford at QB. Is that a hint? Or is it simply a coincidence?
It looked like Mossis had returned to action from his injury. I think the defense will improve tremendously when Gerald McCoy and Ryan Reynolds return from injury. It sounds from a DMN article that Brody Eldridge is going to be okay. That hit from Reed and Baker in the Red-White looked pretty bad. Apparently it caused a high-ankle sprain and a slight MCL tear. Nothing big enough to keep him from returning in the fall. The OL should be even better (if that's possible) when 'The Load' - Phil Loadholt - returns from the injury that kept him out of the Red-White. Of course, the most anticipated return from injury is Malcolm Kelly. Being that he is one of the best receivers in the country (and at times looked considerably better than everybody except Calvin Johnson last year), the offense and especially the starting QB should get a huge boost when he returns. The other receivers are good, but Malcolm is on that superstar level. When he is out there, Juaquin is more open and the whole offense just opens up. Not having him in the Fiesta Bowl was a killer.
I'm going to take a shot at picking the probable offensive depth going into fall.
Some are pretty obvious. I am going out on a limb and saying Bradford is the man at QB. I'm also going to say that Murray has moved to the top of the RB rotation. The O-Line is good from whatever angle you look at it. I didn't even know where to put Cody Cooke, but he was getting in there. Next time I'll do the D. Without further ado:
