Okay, who leaked this?  WE…

Okay, who leaked this?  WE NEED ANSWERS.

Add Bennett or someone as…

Add Bennett or someone as the 4th CB and you've got exactly a 2 deep.  I don't see that as a lot of bodies, if the rotation is anything like last year every single one of those guys is going to play quite a bit.  Also, this way they can withstand an injury or two without having to go to inexperienced depth.  This is a defense built to win now.

Edit:  Harris, CB.  Got my Keshaun/Kechauns reversed.  My bad.

If Walker commits does that…

If Walker commits does that close the door on Mangham?  I thought I read yesterday that he moved up his visit, I wonder if they only take one and if Walker commits first they're done at safety.

Weird, I read both stories…

Weird, I read both stories and neither one mentioned how many stars he had as a recruit.

How am I supposed to be effectively outraged if I can't verify that he was a three star (or less) croot?  COME ON I WANNA RABBLE.  FIRE EVERYBODY.

 

(on a slightly more serious note, welcome Aamir, glad to have moar CB options)

I know multiple people named Rolf.  They've been known to make me rofl.

I have heard the term rolfing but can't say that I knew what it was until now.  Thanks for the informative OP!

It's incredible that Detroit…

It's incredible that Detroit had roughly 3 times as many people living there in 1950.  Plenty of opportunity for growth if it can be run competently and has a supportive business community.

Dusty May is our lord and Xavior.

One directional Michigan…

One directional Michigan (plus Toledo or maybe Bowling Green) game a year seems right.  Add in a mediocre P5 opponent home game and a premium game and you've got a solid mix in the non-conference.

That is, as others have said, as long as there is a non-conference.

I may well be in the…

I may well be in the minority but I love it.  Sure, it's not likely to be a competitive game, but:

It's exposure.

It's showing recruits you will play in big games.  Games against the best.

It's combining those things and letting Olson, Swords and the rest of the newcomers show what they've got.

There will be a lot more fan interest than there would be if they were playing Southeast Missouri State.

Don't fear hard things.  Embrace the challenge, accept that sometimes you'll get your head bashed in, get better.  KBA deserves a lot of slack after what she has done to build this program up, even if a lot players have departed this offseason.  

I pulled out my Nostradamus…

I pulled out my Nostradamus hat and I can predict with THE KNOWLEDGE levels of certainty that this is a national championship-caliber roster, 100%.

YES

It is so.

You don't even need a human,…

You don't even need a human, just train AI on Keith's broadcasts and you'd get something better than most current commentators.

That's Goffsome!Hopefully he…

That's Goffsome!

Hopefully he earns every penny of it and then some. 

 

If Michigan got a commitment…

If Michigan got a commitment from every single recruit and portal player who is reported or rumored to be interested how large would the roster size have to be to accommodate all of them?  How much money would be needed to fund the NIL?  Would we still lose the offseason championship to Ohio State?

I wonder if this guy will…

I wonder if this guy will work out better than Matt Alfred did

That's great news.  That…

That's great news.  That means he'll be that much more ready when he decides to bail on Purdue for greener pastures after a year or two.

I wonder if it was a hard…

I wonder if it was a hard decision for the kid.  "On one hand, I get a lil' bag and a starting job in the B1G ... on the other hand I have to play for Bert and in games that won't mean anything." 

Both pitchers had thrown a…

Both pitchers had thrown a lot of pitches in the tournament and were clearly fatigued, but both put on an amazing display of grit.

Some exceptional baserunning, especially by Indiana Langford, and one errant throw by the Indiana relief pitcher made all the difference.  

Bring on the NCAAs!

YASSS

Way to go ladies!

That Tholl HR was a bomb. WOW!

Quite a few other balls hit to the wall, Wisky OFs had a tough night chasing them.

Solid win even if it was never comfortable, let’s finish it off ladies.

Already not paying for the…

Already not paying for the Cock, ESPN+ or Sunday Ticket, so it won't be a big deal to add this one to the list and skip a couple more games.  One little step closer to just ditching paid TV altogether as not worth the money.

So first his lawyer takes a…

So first his lawyer takes a big chunk, then his wife gets half of the balance in the divorce.  Poor Mel will hardly be able to feed his family.  And that's IF he wins or extracts a settlement!

Nothing new to see here …

Nothing new to see here (THANK YOU LORD).

Watching Sparties melt down…

Watching Sparties melt down on twitter is even more enjoyable than watching them cope on message boards.  If Mangham does more than just visit it's going to be Defcon 1.

Minnesota is very similar…

Minnesota is very similar and led by Player of the Year Jess Oakland, their shortstop, who is also up for National Player of the Year. The Gophers beat Illinois yesterday, 10-7, in nine innings.

Illinois tried a bold strategy, cotton:  They walked Oakland six times.

Let's see how it turned out for them .... ohhh.

A "former Michigan grad"? …

A "former Michigan grad"?  Maaaaan you can't leave the family that easily.  Once you're a made woman (or man) there is only one way out.

also known as a reverse Maryland.  Their lines consisting entirely of guard-shaped dudes were quite something.

I too claimed 90 pancakes when I was a HS junior.  Mine, however, involved butter and maple syrup.

Shhhh.  Wrong.  James…

Shhhh. 

James Franklin is an ELITE coach and an ELITE developer of talent.  He is clearly only ever ONE piece away from being in contention for the National Championship and he should be Penn State's coach FOREVER.

Counterpoint:  They have an…

Counterpoint:  They have an absolutely rabid fanbase, some of whom have money.  NIL cash overcomes geography often enough that it won't matter where the school is located.

Nebraska will be back.

We should all applaud Ohio…

We should all applaud Ohio State for being the champions of the offseason.  Let them puff out their chests and tout the huge stacks of other people's money flooding into their program to buy and retain players.  They should take massive amounts of pride in that and they can set on-field expectations at national championship or bust.  There is no possibility of anything else, they need to have total confidence that THIS is their year.

If and when they lose when the games are actually played it just makes it that much sweeter.

I look forward to Gaching…

I look forward to Gaching opposing defenses.  Smash!

Nailed it.  It's…

Nailed it.  It's entertainment, not sport.  Which is great.  There is a place for both.

Sims committed to Arizona State, not that Michigan was ever going to kick the tires on him.

I haven't verified it, but I…

I haven't verified it, but I believe that the student body is larger at GVSU and at Wayne State (both D2 schools) than it is at WMU, CMU or EMU. 

That is an incredible list…

That is an incredible list for a D2 uptransfer.

Congratulations to the young…

Congratulations to the young man.  Like Dale Chesson and others he may never see the field, but he can still make a contribution to the program.  In the era of effectively limitless roster size (thanks NIL!) it never hurts to add another body to a room that's short on them.

Happy Uno de Mayo to all.

Happy Uno de Mayo to all.

Definitely worth celebrating Dusty May Day.

Yeah, it was a bummer when…

Yeah, it was a bummer when FSD dropped off YTV, but I got used to it.  Turns out that life goes on without the Tigers, Pistons and Red Wings.

Now if the networks would just move more college football and basketball to the Cock and its equivalents that I refuse to pay for I'll finally be free from paying for TV.

What's weird about it? …

What's weird about it?  Lambert-Smith needed a fat bag.  He got one, it just wasn't from Michigan.

I want a Trabant.  Not to drive, just to annoy the HOA.

I don't remember reading anything during his recruitment about Michigan being interested, but never say never.  

According to twitter UM…

According to twitter UM offered a WR from Youngstown State, but I think he's only 6'0" so not that big.

Bias in the recruiting rankings?  Unpossible!  S-E-C!  S-E-C!

Kicking competency is a good thing.  Hail Portal!

Impressive what a slow 40 time at the combine will do to your draft prospects if you're DB.
