- The Irish wrapped up two a days today with a couple practices in the Loftus Center due to overnight rains and then more rain throughout the day.
- The 2007 season will be the last year Weis can hand out multiple scholarships to walk-ons. This year’s walk-ons who were given a scholarship for the year are JJ Jansen, Thomas Bemenderfer, and William David Williams.
- Weis also named John Sullivan as a the fifth captain for this season.
- The order of wide receivers through the drills is still Grimes, West, Parris, Gallup, Hord, Jackson, Kamara, Tate.
- He hasn’t been talked about that much this summer, but Barry Gallup is a guy who I think could find his way on the field more than people think this year. He’s looked very quick and has been the forgotten man at the position this summer.
- Robert Hughes has had some trouble running through the gauntlet drills at times this spring because he hasn’t been bending his knees when running through.
- Armando Allen just looks a little more comfortable running through drills every day.
- Jashaad Gaines could be a very physically imposing safety with a little bit more weight. It looks like he has the frame to accommodate it as well.
- Put a #83 jersey on Robby Parris and it would be like watching Jeff Samardzija all over again.
