Cignetti: Practice 10 tomorrow. Making progress, improving, still got a long way to go. Be back at it, important week.
On the first scrimmage on Saturday…
Cignetti: Too many penalties; like every first scrimmage we’ve ever had. Too many missed assignments. There was good, there was bad, there was ugly. The effort and competition was good.

On Lebron Bond’s progress…
Cignetti: It’s really important to him – football. He has picked up where he left off [in the spring] and gotten better. Still [need to see] a little bit more consistency, but he is in the position to help us this fall.
On the running back room and Roman Hemby’s impression…
Cignetti: (Roman) Hemby’s a veteran, he’s done it for a number of years in the Big Ten Conference. He’s had a solid camp, he’s got to improve on his pass protection. Kaelon Black has had a good camp. (Lee) Beebe was back out there today. I thought (Solomon) Vanhorse really ran well in the scrimmage and pass pro’d well. Older veteran guy, interesting story on him is when we first went to JMU in ’19, he had been a walk-on the previous season, was a walk-on still. We open with West Virginia, third series of the game he’s in there, played well and he started the next six, seven games and then hurt his ankle. He then had some injury problems from that on, but I thought he ran well Saturday and Khobie Martin’s getting better. It’s good to get Beebe back, he was out there today, first practice.
On Kellan Wyatt’s help to bolster the defensive line…
Cignetti: Well, I think it’s really important because you got to have 11 good players doing their job. Outside of what it does for Mikail (Kamara) you’ve got to have two book ends when you’re in a four-down front. We’re very multiple, but Wyatt is a high effort, high energy, intelligent guy. Like Bryant (Haines) said, he’s very versatile, he could do a lot of different things, he’s had a really good camp. He’ll be a big addition for us.
