Day 3 video is still on the official site. I wonder what is going on at the official site? Last year that was usually the first site to post a practice report and gave you the best post practice videos. Now they haven't updated a story since the first practice. My guess is there is a new agreement ...

Good free article on practice 3 at WSR by Brad Allis. New info at least for me:

Josh Kern also looks like he has put on good weight. Kern will also hold on kicks and the fact that he is a former quarterback could give the Wildcats some options for trick plays.
