Here’s a few news and notes from the Howl on Wheels stop in Little Rock
Jeff Purinton said that they are working on some facility upgrades and mentioned baseball, something fans have been asking about. He mentioned that they are working on trying to put turf down during the offseason, but there are other facility upgrades that they are planning for, and they are preparing to release a master plan soon.
Bryan Hodgson said that the Sun Belt Conference wants all conference schools to have more home games, with 13 mandatory home games this season and moving to 14 next year.
He said scheduling has been harder this year due to the success they had this past season. Some of the P5 schools that were happy to schedule the team last year are not so willing to do so this year.
Hodgson said he expects Terrance Ford to come right in and fill in for Caleb Fields. He mentioned that taking the year to learn how to run things helped him tremendously.
Butch Jones said the football team will report on Monday night for summer workouts. He’s excited about the competition at QB this summer and heading into fall camp, but he’s also excited about the grown Jaylen Raynor has shown.
He also mentioned this is becoming more of a player led team versus a coach led team, and they’re excited about the upcoming season.
I’ll have more later!
