Who cares? I'd rather them get their work in, in the spring, uninterrupted. They aren't installing gameplans and preparing for a opponent, they are trying to decide who is going to start and play.
Maybe they're just prepping for the MAC title game...

Good news about Brown. Last year he came in and didn't seem prepared after he was granted the immediate eligibility and was never able to work himself into the rotation.
Brown, Colvin, Minns, Thomas is a big defensive front.

I guess that is my point. I would like to see how people perform in more adverse conditions. The passing game in BG is quite different indoors than in the wind and whatever else comes along, not to mention work with special teams.
If we are putting in new schemes or game planning it would make more sense to me to be indoors. Just my thoughts.
Saw a few more jersey numbers not on the roster. I'm desperate for anything football so here are my wild AZZ guesses. Hopefully the roster will be updated this week.
69 - OL, One of the Aussies, Elijah Sinapati
6 - LB/S, Eilar Hardy
11 - DL, Brian Sanders was 58
88 - DL, Malik Brown was 51
23 - DL, Terrance Bush was 61
30 - ??
33 on defense and it was not Taylor Royster
12 - WR, Deontre Delk moved back to WR

Hardy is not yet on campus. The only #6 I have noticed has been wearing orange, I'm assuming Gallon has been going through some drills.
I **think** #11 is, Izaah Lunsford. Build looks right, 6'3 300, short dreads. I don't think Brown or Sanders bulked up that much.
I won't be able to see the spring game, but I'm definitely looking forward to how Johnson plays on Saturday in his first game atmosphere in a year. Any updates from AZZ'ers at the spring game would be nice.

Has anyone had any reports on Matt Domer. He's the running back that went to Illinois out of high school but didn't qualify academically. He enrolled at BG in January.

I just heard a quote from Babers that Domer is looking good. He says we have a lot of good backs but no great backs and he said Greene is the best of the bunch.
I believe Babers sometimes speaks about his players in the same way as Curt Miller. Miller often intentionally underestimated players when speaking to the press in order to motivate the players to push themselves to their limits. Babers may be doing the same.

Might be Lunsford. I have not seen #50 since early in spring training and #11 is a big guy. I've seen #6 in both red and white. #6 white was standing next to #42, Runnoe in today's photos. #42 is listed at 6-2, 204. #6 was at lest 1-2 inches taller so perhaps he is Brian Sanders. #30 or #33 could be Griff Saunders.
Bush, Brown and Sanders were all mentioned by Babers as doing well but I have not seen any of their old jersey numbers in the photos or video. Also saw a #13 on offense at WR. Always difficult to tell who is who with all the unmentioned walk ons.
#80 Robbie Rhodes.I have looked at every video and still pics.Can not find him anywhere.Is he still with the team?Or does he have a different number?Coach never mentions him and neither does John Wagner.Was hoping for great things.

There was some mention of a few WR out with injuries. Coby, Rhodes, Gallon still not cleared to play and Lewis pulled his hammy in the scrimmage.
