The Friday before spring practices start is always an interesting one as we get a lot of new information for the first time in several months. The new spring rosters come out and we can see which players have made dramatic changes in their weights over the last 6 months. For those who love such things, there are jersey number changes to monitor. There’s also always a departure or two from the program which is usually the most consequential update even if not the happiest.
On that note...
