Price's first day
DT Brian Price did not disappoint in his first practice since returning from a six-week NCAA-mandated hiatus while he made it through the clearinghouse. He was quick off the ball, showed excellent stamina and strength. I think he had the chance to be in at least 20 plays, and possibly more if he does well.
Both coach Karl Dorrell and defensive coordinator DeWyane Walker both raved about him.
"The team welcomed me back pretty good, and I just came out here and worked hard,'' Price said. "Brigham (Harwell) and Chase (Moline) both were helping me out, and I really appreciate that. They were telling me what to do."
Price said he didn't have trouble with any of the plays, and he was going to be involved in cram sessions to catch up on what he missed while he was out.

It's good to see a difference-maker able to get play time as a freshman. I have the feeling KD's feelings about who plays will change for the balance of this season. He can't afford to bank on guys purely out of consideration for their time in the program any longer.
