College football truly never sleeps with its annual calendar.
We're now beginning the "lull" between spring practices and summer official visits, but the Wisconsin Badgers are out recruiting during a contact period that runs April 15-May 24.
Those who religiously cover the program have digested and disseminated what transpired in the 15 spring practices that wrapped up April 24.
Hope springs eternal during every offseason, and the Locked On Badgers podcast welcomed Wisconsin Badgers on SI this week to talk about what's the truth and what's just hype with where Wisconsin is heading in Year 3 of the Luke Fickell era.
