Question Is it out of the ordinary to not have a player organized practice by this time, or is that normal?

Thanks for the question.
Normal, most organized practices and workouts do not begin until after January 1. That is why missing those fifteen bowl practices is such a loss.
We are not saying the players aren't getting together, but it is not very organized right now. Some players stay around one day and then the next time they do not stay around.
Some people do not understand how much missing those fifteen practices really is especially for a team like Michigan. They are a very young team and this would have helped them to learn the system along with getting more practice time and if you truly seen the team this fall they need all the practice time they can get.
When a team makes a bowl game, they take a few weeks off after the bowl game to be healed up and just get away from the game for a little bit because it takes so much of your life and sometimes kids just need to get away.
In this case, this Michigan team has already had a long layoff and they give them a short break. Then followed up with winter conditioning that will just be filler instead of practicing for a bowl game. Then the kids get some time off for the holidays, then school starts back up and so will the second part of the winter conditioning period. This is where you will see more organized practices especially 7-7 type stuff with the players until spring practices start in the middle of March.
Got a long time till spring ball especially when your last game before Thanksgiving.
