Moore talked about early spring practice, breakout players, Scruggs, the staff, NIL and the portal, position battles, experience returning, and expectations for the team. Mentions DJ Waller, Jyaire Hill, TJ Guy, and Enow Etta as early standouts which all guys listed gives good confidence to positions of question (dline depth, cornerback depth). I’m so hyped for the season and what Moore has in store for Michigan.

I know that next season has to happen, but I am perfectly fine with the status quo. Still hard to think about a new season when the championship glow hasn't died down yet.

As I commented on the Diary post, I've almost posted incorrectly too.

It is a little confusing that the two parts of the main page are Diaries and Message Board but "Create Content" refers to "Diaries" and "Forum." 

[EDIT: Mods, why IS there a difference?]

I’m hoping to hear more about DT depth. I think Graham and Grant could both go pro after this year, and while I think Benny can take one of those spots in 2025, I’d like to hear about two others that could rotate at DT next year.

So happy we get to keep some of that chemistry from the last 3 years.  Some of these players have been waiting a long time for a chance to lead.  Giovanni El Hadi comes to mind.  He has been good enough to start ANYWHERE except where Zinter and Keegan played.

Breathe and relax. It's better to miss being the first to post something than to make mistakes when try to rush being the first one while using your smartphone. It makes you look bad.

Wow! Extremely impressed with coach Moore. His answers were phenomenal. It’s like the Harbaugh mentality without the quirkiness or awkwardness. I would imagine the kids just love him and believe in him. Michigan was smart and fortunate to hire him and have him on staff. 

Very excited to see what he can do. I was worried they might just enjoy last year but nope. They all have something to prove. Get a QB and lookout!

Nice. So those are the guys that are not close to being ready but they see potential and want to encourage them to step up by hyping them. Got it.

Impressive interview.  His answer on Mike Hart was the shortest, so I'm guessing that was the strangest situation Sherrone has faced so far as HC.  Good to hear that the players are taking to Wink Martindale.  Also cool how informative Coach Moore is whereas Coach Harbaugh speaks more in metaphors and just trying to name-drop everybody.

We've seen that Coach Moore can build an offensive line and a gameplan, but it remains to be seen how he architects an entire program.  I am really hoping he succeeds and I think he's got a good shot.
