Corey Campbell Leaving

We missed this earlier, but there you have it. Consensus Freshman All-SEC, 4 picks as a sophomore, named team's most improved player heading into his junior year, pleaded guilty to shoplifting as a junior, transfers before senior year. Nice trajectory.

Spring Practice Begins

And no one much cares because Knox is Pearl-crazy. As are we. God bless Bruce Pearl. And his blazer. The WWF move at Rupp is the greatest thing we've heard in a very long time.

But on to rock ball. We are officially back from hiatus. Or being lazy. What did we miss? Pretty weak recruiting class (#23 nationally, #7 in SEC) that missed out on the top in-state talent for the second year running. A slight re-shuffling of the coaching ranks. Reggie getting inducted into the Pro Hall of Fame (Bible-themed video montage with some strong hits here). And Fat Ass implementing long-awaited and hopefully sweeping changes (including "where we're going to stay when we travel"). Great start.

Actual coverage of spring practice and whatnot to come.
