Arkansas football coaches will go on the road Wednesday for the spring evaluation period. The Hogs were on the road twice during spring practice. Each school gets 168 evaluation days during April 15 and May 31.
Each day an assistant coach is on the road counts towards the 168. An assistant is allowed an athletic and academic evaluation of a prospect. Should he do both in a day, he's allowed to return to the school a second time for an athletic evaluation.
Head coaches are not allowed to be on the road.
Coaches can watch workouts, practices, an athletic event the recruit may take part in, but can't have any contact with an athlete while visiting the school. Schools are allowed one phone call to junior prospects during the evaluation period.
