Rutgers didn’t have an open practice Thursday, but there was plenty of other news around the league to fill your morning.

Bill Koch tells us about Cincinnati’s camp site, the only one in the league off-campus.

UConn DE Lindsey Witten is already the little brother of an NFL player, but Neil Ostrout gets coach Randy Edsall to say he just might be comparing himself to Michael Strahan.

Like Rutgers, UConn’s started its in-season maneuverings. Which means no open practice and Desmond Conner breaking down the opening UConn-Ohio match-up .

Louisville’s offensive line lost some of its profile; C.L. Brown says it might not have lost any of its punch.

Meanwhile, on the court - not that I think this will lift any of the attention off Rick Pitino – former UofL forward Luke Whitehead was arrested on drug charges.

Paul Zeise says Pitt has some serious depth on defense and, in a mailbag, he opines on the defensive backs specifically.

Kevin Gorman, meanwhile, is worried about Pitt’s punt return team. Who can forget DB Aaron Berry’s fumble against Rutgers?

A day after news broke that Jim Leavitt put his own South Florida Bulls at no. 18 in the coaches poll, columnist Martin Fennelly says this new plan to keep coaches ballots secret is silly. He’s got an interesting tidbit, btw, on how Leavitt’s ballot came out.

Dave Rahme gives us a neat feature on safety Mike Holmes.

Dave Hickman writes that West Virginia’s preseason camp is officially over.

Bob Hertzel talks to West Virginia center Joey Madsen. You might want to turn the sound down on that ad on the right.
