Welcome to another podcast by Inside Carolina.com, the independent voice of UNC Sports,

your home for Tar Heel football, basketball, and recruiting.

I'm your host, Tommy Ashley, joined by Greg Barnes and Ross Martin, Day 2, or Opportunity 2

for Inside Carolina and other media to

view practice and get some comments from the players and coaches after practice. Ross, I'll start

with you first. Sort of the big takeaway that you had from today out in Keenden Stadium.

Yeah, I mean, we asked, obviously we saw 30 minutes of practice, but afterwards, I asked

a whole player about, you know, what is kind of different from this camp, kind of thinking about the fact that Bubba Cunningham and Coach Medora had talked about, you know, really reflecting on what they can change to recovery wise and rest wise and just do what they can to limit the injuries this year.

And it seemed like a couple of the senior leaders, Thomas Jackson, Anthropatham,

I know he's a junior, but they discussed a lot more rest, a little bit less intensity

in terms of just running them into the ground, getting them back to the hotel earlier

so they can have more time to

relax and get more sleep. And just a little bit, maybe relax may not be the right word,

but it seems like there's just a more intent focus on getting these players healthy, making

sure they're resting just as much as they are working out to prepare for that grind because if you run

these guys into the ground in August, they're not going to be ready to go in September and

October. So I think that was kind of critical to see that change. It seems like it's been something

the staff and the training staff have talked about and there have been some changes implemented into how camp works.

And I thought that was kind of interesting as kind of a broader takeaway as we stand now on Thursday,

the sixth practice of camp.

Greg, that's a big deal.

I think, you know, it's not like Fedora to ease off at all.
