Football teams under a bowl ban with scholarship limitations aren't supposed to be able to recruit at a high level. Hell, they aren't supposed to be able to recruit at all. That is what conventional wisdom says. James Franklin and his staff have taken conventional wisdom and curb stomped it.
The football team opened up its spring practice schedule this afternoon at Holuba Hall, giving Franklin and his staff their first chance to see the players in action outside of the film room. While addressing the media on Monday afternoon, Franklin expressed excitement for the coming months, looking forward to implementing his system and working with the roster.
