The start to spring football practice for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish is now less than a week away, and there is all sorts of stuff for Marcus Freeman and his staff to figure out for the 2023 season. Fortunately for everyone involved, the spring period isn’t the last word or last chance. It’s a beginning — which can be all sorts of things.
Rather than go through a long-winded preview of the position groups, I thought it would be more constructive to just offer up some of my thoughts. Of the 14 scheduled practices this spring, only one is going to allow the media to watch the entire practice — so if you honestly think you’re going to get a ton of real insight this spring, you haven’t been paying attention for the last decade.
