Hello there Canes fam! 2018 Canes Camp is in full swing, with the first 2 days of practice having taken place over the weekend. I wasn’t in full blogging mode then, so you’re getting a combo recap for both those days! LUCKY YOU!
These first two practices were the NCAA-mandated acclimation period, meaning the team could practice with helmets and no other padding. But, players and coaches were on the field getting work done, so even without pads, the march towards the 2018 season has begun.
Day 1 Recap
It was a day of practice and there were interviews. So, here goes, starting with
Head Coach Mark Richt
Senior S Jaquan Johnson
Junior WR Ahmmon Richards
Junior LB Shaquille Quarterman
Senior OL Tyree St. Louis
An opening day recap by Christy Chirinos of The South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Consider it a work in progress on two fronts: As construction continues on the Carol Soffer Indoor Practice Facility, the Canes took to Greentree for the first time in 2018.

Ok. That’s it. 2 days worth of recaps and videos for the price of one.
The Canes return to the practice field — their time in pads — on Monday morning.
Less than a month until the opener.
