I've overheard in passing that they will be scrimmaging at Michigan either Saturday or Sunday.

I was at practice today for about an hour and a half before KSU's football press conference.
Rashad Woods and Brandon Parks stood out in the first hour. They were both playing very hard. Several others appeared to be a bit flat ... until they switched to a 4-on-5 scramble drill. That drill has four players on defense trying to scramble to stop five playing offense. They did that for 20 minutes or so, and that's when the intensity really switched on. Honestly, I think fans of college basketball would have enjoyed watching that as much as they would going to a real game.
Guys played really hard. Singletary, Sullinger, Woods, Parks, Mincy and Fisher in particular really stood out. With lots of kamikaze yelling by Sullinger in that stretch, lots of fist pumping and high fives with every stop by guys like Parks, Singletary and Woods, you could tell they were having a lot of fun, too.
It turned into one of the better practices I've seen in a while.

The team scrimmaged on Sunday. I wasn't there, but I've heard very good reports about Simpson and Evans from that one. Green is also winning an opportunity to get minutes as a freshman.
