that's real early from what we're used to. wonder why. i like it because we always competed for spring game prospect visitors with all the other regional schools who held their spring games on the same day.

from the dungey article:

"syracuse will start spring practice in late February, Babers said, with the final session April 2."

Definitely early, but this approach makes sense. I see two benefits:
  1. Earlier start toward getting the new systems implemented with the team
  2. More time from the beginning to the end of spring practice and in between practice sessions for the players to digest / learn / apply what is required of them

our spring game is usually around April 20. They've moved the start and end time up basically a month. 15 practices in about 36 days.

Babers specifically said it was earlier because they have to retrain the roster to playing their style of football. The sooner they start, they better. Gives the kids more time with the playbook.
 
Same as last year.

More time for players who get injured during the Spring to recover.
 
just watched the sct interview quoted

"We moved it up because we want these young men to start practicing our style of football and maybe not the style of football that they’ve been used to"

sounds good

You bite your tongue mister! - Not that you don't have a very good point.
 
Will practices be "open"? I had a tradition of going to watch on Good Friday,that ended in the paranoid era.

Apparently there isn't a playbook.
 
I'm just glad it's the weekend after Easter instead of the day before.
