The Kentucky men’s soccer team opens its season Friday against Eastern Illinois at 7:30 p.m. at the UK Soccer Complex.

A lot of the household names from the last few years are gone, including Conference USA Defender of the Year Barry Rice, Jason Griffiths and goalkeeper Dan Williams. Head coach Ian Collins is condient in the replacements he will have for the 2010 season, but said in an interview Wednesday that he could start as many as five or six freshman.

Below are video interviews with Collins, defender Brad Walker and forward Cameron Wilder briefly talking about the 2010 season. I’ll have more in a written feature Thursday or Friday.
