Friday Practice Notes
Posted Aug 26, 2006
Rookies who have been mentioned most often as candidates to play as true freshmen include Hakeem Nicks, Ryan Taylor, Kendric Burney, and possibly Tavares Brown and Wesley Flagg...Nicks will definitely play--and he might start. "Hakeem might be our starter," Bunting said Friday night. "We'll determine that Sunday or Monday. Brandon Tate is going to get snaps, and we want him to continue to improve, especially catching the football."
