"I'll tell you what it is," Curry said: "We've been talking for two years. We've also been working, but as one of my great leaders said, ‘Talk's cheap. Let's go play.'"
Not all good news:
The summer hasn't been the most promising. The team's performance in summer school classes wasn't to his liking; some players will be ineligible. There were some discipline issues that Curry said he had to handle over the summer.

Countdown to Fall Practice: Running Backs
We keep it on the ground with our countdown series before the first practice, with a look at each position as it relates to our team. Today, we take a look at the explosive guys coming out of the backfield, the Running Backs. This includes the Running Backs and Fullbacks. These guys are very talented and this may be a tremendous battle in the coming month for carries. Again, I hand off the analysis to DJ.
Redshirt Sophmore Rosevelt Watson - He performed well during the spring, he's physically the most developed back and has a year of college experience under his belt. Not to mention that [he] and Jackson should be a great tandem because they were one of the best QB/RB duos in Florida during their time at Lake Worth High school.
Redshirt Freshman Travis Evans - This kid is the future and is actually the best RB we have, but he still needs needs to add a little bulk but I would not be surprised if he takes over the No. 1 spot at RB by the end of the season or gets as many carries as Watson.
Freshman Cole Moon - If he doesn't redshirt, this kid will get a lot of carries in the red zone and during goal line situations.
Redshirt Freshman Sam Burkhalter - Still has sleeping issues and I don't know how much longer this can go on. I hope he can get it under control, but for now, he's No. 4 in my book.
Redshirt Sophmore Malcolm Smith - this guy should not be a walk-on. I saw him break out multiple 30+ yard runs during the first spring practice. He might move up the depth chart by the end of the year.

Countdown to Fall Practice - Wide Receivers
We are winding down our countdown series before the first practice (which means Fall practice is about to begin), with a look at each position as it relates to our team. Today, we take a look at our potent offensive weapons, the Wide Receiving corps. This includes the X, Y receivers and the slot receiver (3rd receivers in our offense). These guys are the highlight reel plays and we've got a ton of size and speed up and down the roster. The home run threats make our QBs look very good.
X Wide Receiver: UCF Transfer and Redshirt Junior Sidney Haynes is an explosive deep threat and is as solid as it gets. If you missed the Spring Game (where were you?), Haynes took a Kelton Hill bomb to the house for 54 yards. Redshirt Freshman Danny Williams has very good size and will back up "King Haynes."
Y Wide Receiver: Redshirt Freshman Jordan Giles will likely start at the Y wide out. Giles is very solid and can move the chains. Converted DB Freshman Albert Wilson is a likely back up candidate if he doesn't take a redshirt.
DJ's Analysis: The four other walk-ons are 3rd on the depth chart on either side. Giles is actually our most consistent receiver and will be the primary target, in my opinion. The kid can flat-out catch and he rarely drops a pass, even after taking a heavy hit. He's [had trouble with the playbook], but since he had a year of practice, he will be good to go come Sept. 2nd. Danny Williams will probably switch with Haynes and Giles, depending on the play and our position on the field.
The Slot Wide Receivers (with DJ's thoughts)
Parris Lee - Incredible hands and just might be the fastest guy on our team. If this kid gets a glimpse of clear space, forget about it.
Nate Anthony - Not too far behind Lee and just might give him a run for his money, no pun intended.
Darren McCray - Lightning fast and probably the best side-step of the 3 but his size (5-7) is a problem. He will also be returning the ball on special teams.
