Post-Practice Update: Prince Back in Black
* UCLA sophomore quarterback Kevin Prince returned to practice on Monday, though he did little throwing. Prince labeled himself "80 percent," and said there is only pain when he throws. Video up soon.
* The big news of the day: Rick Neuheisel saidKai Maiava might be back this season, and even said late-October is the goal.
* Not much to report from practice, which was just in shorts and helmets.
* One play of note: Prince ran a nice play up the middle - again, no contact - and looks much, much quicker than last year. I wouldn't be surprised if he does become a running threat this year. He's not on Locker's level, but he looked pretty good.
* In other injury news, freshman running back Malcolm Jones is in a walking boot with what he described as a minor ankle sprain. He said he only expects to miss a couple days. Fellow freshman Jordon James is expected to return shortly, as well.
*Junior linebacker Glenn Love was in a red jersey after he suffered a stinger in the scrimmage, but he'll be back soon, as well.
* Sophomore offensive lineman Stanley Hasiak has rejoined the team and was at practice, and Neuheisel said he'd rejoin the scout team soon. "We have to get him going," Neuheisel said. "It's certainly an indiciation that he's on the right path."
* With Maiava out and Eddie Williams a couple days from returning from his concussion, freshman Chris Ward got reps with the first team at right guard. Neuheisel said he expects Williams to return to right guard and Darius Savage at left.
maybe we should go the non-contact route the next 2 weeks so we can take some healthy bodies to K-St. Geezz
LOL @ "and said there is only pain when he throws" WTF??? Thats what a QB does!!!
If anyone is interested, my ankle only hurts when I run...
909 - I thought the same, exact thing... Looks like Brehaut is the guy for K-state.
Also, if we are not tackling in practice, we can anticipate defense returning to form like in the Toledo days. 550+ yards surrendered per game. You can't practice one way and try to play another. Its football. Guys are going to get injured. I think your second stringers who are tackling would do better than 1st stringers who haven't tackled in practice.
There is only pain when I think.
Dumb question: Can Hasiak play this year, or only practice? As I recall, he's academically ineligible for the fall, correct?
Thanks.
FWIW, I imagine Prince is full strength by thursday and starting at KSU. Albeit just a hunch, but I wouldn't worry too much yet.
Thats funny I also only experience pain when Malcolm Lee shoots, passes and dribbles.
VB, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent postings were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
If Prince is making most of the throws on the passing tree by the end of the week, then he'll be good to go. If not, there will be a curtailed playbook at K-State for either a physically limited Prince or Brehaut whose mastery of the offense has improved but not quite up to Prince's level just yet.
IMO, I'd rather have Prince 100% ready to go for Stanford than push it against K-State. A season opening win in Manhattan would be nice, but a win in the home opener that is also the Pac 10 conference opener is an absolute must.
Hey 909Bruin, you know QBs ALSO drop back, scramble AND handoff not just stand there and throw the ball.
So not sure how that statement doesnt make sense
A quarterback who can't throw is like:
1. A lawyer who stutters
2. A doctor who hates the sight of blood
3. A prostitute who refuses to take money
4. A rabbi, priest, or minister who doubts God
5. A pet groomer who is allergic to dogs and cats
6. A model with an acne problem
7. A student who can't get up before noon
8. A president who can't make up his mind
9. A pro-baseballer who can't hit the curve
10 God, who takes Sundays off
I experienced pain every time Nikola Dragovic put on a UCLA uniform.
