The players know the offense and defense, and pretty much what will be expected of them, come fall. They also know that incoming freshmen will get the first shot at their spot. Can players, without actual coaching, improve their skill, strength, or speed before practices start back up? This question is assuming that the coaching staff will see to it that these guys stay focused through the summer.

i read that Berry said he was sticking around campus to keep working on his game. maybe i am remembering wrong. i am thinking more about the players that need some obvious improvement before fall.

i'd say definitely yes! Especially when you have strong leadership like e. berry. It's voluntary stuff....but you'll often hear stories of QB's throwing balls to WR's in the summer to get on the same page with routes....or other players running sprints together, etc. So I think yes...but it's up to the players. I would not be surprised to hear stories like this come out of knoxville this year.

Plus, when it's hot and humid this summer in knoxville...it's a great way to prepare for those early season games that will be hot as hell....i.e the swamp on Sept 19th!!

its all up to the players and how hard they wish to work during the summer. They all can stay on campus and talk about working out but if they jsut go through motions, coaches can tell come August. Strictly up to the players

can the S&C coach work directly with the players? Just not sure if he's truly considered a "coach"

That one is a good question. I would guess no, but I would love to hear the official answer.

If high school football teams basically require their players to do summer workouts, I am sure college football players do.

100% voluntary

I'm pretty sure the S&C is mandatory.

The other stuff is about as "voluntary" as the morning workouts prior to spring practice... You don't have to come... or play.

They almost always get together and do 7 on 7's quite a bit during the summer.

Do they have 8 hours of mandatory S&C like they did in January and February?

Do they have mandatory film sessions during the summer period?

Also, what exact date are they allowed to start practice again? And how many practices are they allowed before start of the season?

The only time off is mini term in May.

Even then about half the team stay and works out. I always took it off go home.

the team lifts and runs a LOT. 7 on 7 and OL DL drills happen 2-3 times a week as well. Those are lead by seniors and strength coaches.

We used to to Yoga as well :)
