"Assessing Wisconsin Football's Spring Progress and Potential"

Wisconsin football has started its spring practices, with a focus on drills and 11-on-11 team sessions. The team is also actively recruiting, with a revamped department led by Pat Lambert and Max Stienecker. Meanwhile, former Wisconsin director of player personnel Saeed Khalif reportedly won't have his contract renewed at Michigan State, but this doesn't necessarily vindicate Paul Chryst's decision to go eight months without a legitimate recruiting staff after Khalif left. The addition of Luke Fickell and his coaching staff, as well as the upcoming expansion of the College Football Playoff, has increased optimism for Wisconsin's Playoff chances. The team is also adjusting to Phil Longo's offense, which gives skill-position players more freedom but requires consistent practice to master.
