The spring game is tentatively scheduled for April 25 at Aloha Stadium. It will be held in the afternoon, most likely, because of repairs at the stadium. That also is draft day, so hopefully David Veikune and Ryan Mouton will be picked before then. * * * Through next week, the UH coaches will be working from various parts of the lower campus while the insulation system is being repaired on the athletic complex’s third floor.
