Assuming practices are in swing. How's the health of the team looking? Erickson, Gardner, Turner, etc...

Everybody should be ready to go. (not Vann)

And how much of the early practices have been for the young kids who have been on the scout teams?

The seniors don't need a ton of practices to get ready, but good opportunity for the young kids to get reps early in the bowl preps before the regulars get into game shape.

When does the team leave for the Island (Paradise Island)?

BTW, isn't it nice to have an indoor practice facility for weeks like this one? :)

According to the game notes looks like they leave Monday, practice Tuesday and Wednesday and there is a press conference Thursday.

Leaving Monday, coming back right after game. Last couple weeks have been for the younger guys, now starting to prepare for ODU just like a regular game.

I've read that these bowls are two-phases, i.e., like spring ball for scout team players and then phase two, game preparation, like a regular season game.
