Scout: Lacy a better prospect than T-R/Ingram

NFL Network's Bucky Brooks said he spoke with one evaluator who ranks Alabama RB Eddie Lacy above Trent Richardson and Mark Ingram.

We can buy Ingram, but Richardson is special. Sure, there are certain traits Lacy might have over Richardson, but as a complete package we prefer the latter. Eddie Lacy has a shot at a late first-round selection, but expect a top-40 pick.

David Shaw compares Sam Darnold to Luck

Stanford HC David Shaw compared USC redshirt sophomore QB Sam Darnold to former Cardinal QB Andrew Luck.

"He’s the best college quarterback I’ve seen at anticipating since Andrew Luck," Shaw said of the star USC quarterback. Shaw would know on the Luck front, having coached him up while serving as Stanford's offensive coordinator from 2007-2010. Darnold has the chops to follow in Luck's footsteps and land as the No. 1 overall selection next spring. "When you evaluate quarterbacks who can play at the next level," Shaw said, "you’re looking for guys who can see a play before it happens and get the ball out of their hands quick. He’s the best I’ve seen in years."

UK WR Baker diagnosed w/ fractured ankle

Kentucky junior WR Dorian Baker has been diagnosed with an ankle fracture and dislocation.

Baker suffered the fracture and dislocation during the team's scrimmage on Saturday. He will be undergoing surgery on Tuesday to repair the damage. "We’re very disappointed for Dorian, as he had a good offseason and was helping lead our receivers during preseason camp," said HC Mark Stoops in a statement. Baker has not been officially ruled out for the season, but his availability for the campaign is now very much in question. Blake Bone, Tavin Richardson and Kayaune Ross are all potential candidates to see bulked up reps with Baker sidelined.

Sun Devils president want results from Graham

Arizona State president Michael Crow put HC Todd Graham on notice.

"Losing records over more than one year in any sport are unacceptable," Crow said. "You have to look at what the reasons are and the dynamics, but Coach Graham completely understands that his very successful start at ASU has got to be realized again." ASU bolted out to a 28-12 overall record in his first three seasons with the Sun Devils, but has gone just 11-14 over the past two campaigns. Said Crow, "We’re excited about this season, but losing seasons at our level of performance expectation are unacceptable."

AP Poll: Alabama enters season at No. 1 again

In the release of the AP Preseason Top-25 poll, Alabama has been ranked as the No. 1 team in the country.

Alabama sits atop once more. And it wasn't even close. The Crimson Tide received 52 first-place votes to lead in a romp, with the next three teams (Ohio State, Florida State, USC) receiving a combined nine first-place tallies. In terms of conference supremacy, the SEC led the way with six entrants in the initial top-25, while the ACC and Big 12 both put five teams into the mixer.

Mike Weber (hamstring) returns to practice

Ohio State redshirt sophomore RB Mike Weber (hamstring) returned to practice on Monday.

Weber (5'10/215) has been dealing with a balky hamstring throughout camp, but RB coach Tony Alford said late last week that the redshirt sophomore would be ready to rock 'n' roll for the season-opener against Indiana on Thursday, August 31. Sometimes camp injuries linger, but at this juncture, it looks like all systems go for Weber. He racked up 1,096 yards rushing and nine touchdowns a year ago.

Utah names QB Tyler Huntley starter for year

Utah named sophomore QB Tyler Huntley the starter for the coming season.

Huntley turned in a strong preseason camp to supplant incumbent starter Troy Williams. This definitely comes out of the blue -- not only did Williams start all 13 games for the Utes a year ago, he was named a team captain in advance of the 2017 campaign. Huntley was a three-star recruit for the 2016 cycle, ranking as Rivals' No. 23 dual-threat gunslinger in that class -- his athleticism is part of what was so intriguing to HC Kyle Whittingham and staff. In backup duty behind Williams last season, Huntley saw the field in six games, attempting seven passes in that space.

Bo Scarbrough misses practice due to illness

Alabama redshirt junior RB Bo Scarbrough has missed the past two practices due to illness.

Rest easy, Tide fans, as Scarbrough's sitting over the weekend is not related to anything more than a touch of illness. Said HC Nick Saban, "We don’t think this is a serious illness or anything like that, but it is something that we didn’t think it would be good for him not to be in a position where he could be resting." Expect Scarbrough to get back at it in practice some time later this week.

Indiana mistake nixes Fitzgerald for season

The NCAA has ruled that Indiana freshman DB Bryant Fitzgerald is a non-qualifier for the coming season.

Fitzgerald (6'0/200) will not be allowed to play or practice with the Hoosiers this year, but does remain on scholarship. It's an unfair blow for the young man, who was blameless in the situation. Instead, all of this comes about because he was incorrectly advised by the university about classes he needed to take to be eligible for the year. Compounding matters, the NCAA doubled down on the program's misstep by denying a subsequent waiver that would have allowed Fitzpatrick to play this year. Just disappointing on every front by the alleged adults in the room. Fitzgerald was a three-star recruit in the 2017 class.

Buechele potentially nearing starting status

Texas HC Tom Herman said that if there was a game tomorrow, sophomore QB Shane Buechele would be the starter.

Buechele has received a heated competition in camp from true freshman Sam Ehlinger, but looks like he might emerge victorious despite his young challenger's strong push. Buechele threw for 2,958 yards while posting a 21/11 TD/INT ratio during the past campaign. Texas kicks off against Maryland two weeks from today.

Mountaineers WR Durante transfers to FAU

West Virginia junior WR Jovon Durante transferred to FAU.

Durante (6'0/171) sat out the first two-plus weeks of camp at West Virginia due to a personal matter. He's opted to move on entirely. At FAU, the junior wideout will have to sit out the 2017 season to satisfy NCAA transfer regulations. He will have two seasons of eligibility remaining with the Owls starting in 2018. As a sophomore in Morgantown last season, Durante caught 35 passes for 331 yards and two touchdowns.

Jamie Gordinier out for season w/ knee injury

Miami redshirt sophomore LB Jamie Gordinier will miss the coming season due to a right knee injury.

Gordinier's knees just aren't holding steady for him. He missed almost the entirety of the 2016 campaign after injuring his left knee in the team's season-opener against Florida A&M. Now it is the right one which has given out on him. Gordinier is set to undergo surgery next week.
