There are some interesting reader comments in the 247 article that the OP linked to. I can't read them all because I'm not a subscriber, but the reporter, Patrick Brown, said this:
Refuting a commenter who said Bailey 'won' spring practice: "Bailey had a better spring game than the other two but I wouldn't say he outperformed them in the 14 other practices/scrimmages."
Explaining the starting order in the O&W game: "They all got reps with the starters in the spring game, if that's what you are asking. Throughout the spring they rotated who was with who but I don't think the order to start the spring game (Hooker 1s, Maurer 2s and Bailey 3s) was pulled out of thin air."
Seems like Brown agrees with PFF's choice of Hooker. Does he tend to be a good reporter with good info? I'm not living in Knoxville now so I'm not up on which reporters have inside access or accurate assessments.
