Hey guys, we are wrapping up Day 6 of spring practice and just finished up post-practice interviews. I wanted to jump in and share some of my quick takes from the day.


Quick takes:


- Isaiah Johnson moving up the depth chart

Defensive tackle Isaiah Johnson has moved up and was working with the first-team unit during Saturday's. He replaced Keanu Mailoto and joined Bill Norton on the front line.

- Jai-Ayviauynn Celestine had an up and down day


While working with the second-team defense, cornerback Jai-Ayviauynn Celestine had a pick off Noah Fifita, but also had plays where he got burned.


- Josh Oglesby was fired up


I really haven't heard offensive line coach Josh Oglesby get fired up very much in practice until Saturday. Today, Oglesby was very fired up and was on players left and right. You could hear him clearly from the stands.


We'll have more shortly, as always.

Hey guys, well wrapped up around 7 p.m. buy I had to finish some things up.

However, I wanted to jump in here and share some of my quick takes from the day.


Quick takes:


- Raymond Pulido is battling

So, I love Raymond Pulido and his talent. However, he is always battling injuries and missed most of practice today with his left ankle tapped up. Pulido is a mega talent and will make the NFL, but he is very injury prone and that is something to keep an eye on.


- Johno Price is out


The last two practices cornerback Johno Price has been out and working out with the training staff on the sidelines.

While on the field, Price has been very good and looks the part. I see why the staff brought him in and he has potential.


- Dalton Johnson has been rock solid

The secondary for the defense has been locked in and leading the way has been safety Dalton Johnson. He has looked the part of an NFL safety and has been flying to the ball.



We will have more shortly. Sorry this us up a little late, but feel free to comment with question on anything.

Hey guys, Arizona will be starting Day 5 of spring practice today around 3:45 p.m. and I wanted to jump in a share some notes that's I haven't written about yet.


Quick notes:


1. Movement

- We still don't know what the offense is going to look like exactly. And, we probably won't until near the end of spring, or the start of training camp because Dino Babers wasn't to keep that close to his vest.

However, one thing I've notices is that there is a ton of pre-snap movement from two tight ends move to the other side of the line, running backs shifting in-and-out and receiving going in motion.

This offense will have a good amount of motion.


2. Turran Willams is on campus

- One of the few recruits that stayed with the new staff was three-star DB Turran Willams and he is on campus and at practice. However, he hasn't suited up and is only with the position group with a clipboard.

I'm not 100% sure what is happening, but will find out as soon as I can.


3. Joseph Borjon isn't part of the plan


Jedd Fisch's staff like the potential of tackle Joseph Borjon, but size and footwork have always been an issues.

Well, this staff has him on the third-team offense and I just see him getting buried on the depth chart.



Also, I'm not sure I posted this in here yet, but here's my three-point stance from Tuesday's practice:

Today was the first day of full pads for Arizona in spring practice, meaning a lot more contact today.


I wanted to jump in and share my thoughts on the practice before we get started with interviews.


Quick takes:


- Quali Conley is a load


Running back Quali Conley might be smaller than most backs, but the man is really had to take down. Conley has a great ability to bounce off tacklers and find the hole.


- Roberto Miranda is a guy to watch


I know, tight end Roberto Miranda has been here for quite sometime and really hasn't shown much on the field. However, he has had a great spring and his hands have improved.


- Jai-Ayviauynn Celestine is a talker


Out of all the defensive backs Jai-Ayviauynn Celestine has been the most vocal. Celestine had a great swat against Tetairoa McMillan and let him hear all about it for two, or three plays.


We'll have more after practice, as always. But, feel free to ask any questions, or add to the conversation.
