the beat down of Joe Montana when Michigan traveled to ND to inaugurate the modern series between the two teams. It would be a fitting conclusion for Michigan to bookend the series with another win in South Bend.

Those are my thoughts. This is a kid's life here. Make a decsion one way or the other so he can focus on what his situation is. Its one week until gameday.

Honestly, what new information could they be waiting for that they didn't have a few weeks ago. They have all the facts they need to decide.

it's a kid's eligibility we're talking about. We're not applying for sainthood. . . .

Although this falls under the "Circumstances Beyond Control" section of the waiver criteria in the NCAA Division I Handbook, you have to provide sufficient medical documentation even if it is an immediate family member's illness or condition which prompted the transfer. It's quite trifling and unnecessary - I definitely agree with the sentiment here - but that's the rule unfortunately.
Even if it were not medical, like a financial calamity in the family, they would still demand appropriate documentation such, if it came to that, a copy of the bankruptcy filing and other supporting records.

Seems highly unlikely he'll get the waiver, and Hoke seems to be acting accordingly. The kid is well beyond the waiver requirements.
August 25th, 2014 at 5:50 AM ^
to a certain extent. But I guess my thoughts that information of some things like a little more than a doctor's note should be sufficient. When I read "medicll data and reports" the post seemed like the NCAA required reems of data. . .Like how we get put on probation for not appropriately filing Cara forms for stretching too long. IMHO Ty Isaac is trying to transfer and he has a legit excuse. . . As opposed to the endless litany fo nefarious endeavors committed on a daily basis at other programs that aren't adequately policed by the same institution. . .to wit, granting a waiver and insisting on making it complicated is what the NCAA chooses to care about. . .

Granted, the amount of tape I've seen on him is small, but based on what I've seen he'd be #1. He seems to have the best combination of skills the staff wants. He's a big guy and can run with power, but he's also deceptively fast. He can block and catch the ball out of the backfield. He's not a highlight real type guy, but he seems very good with picking holes and his vision and he looks very smooth when he runs. I think he's our best back.

Need to get some class separation.

Did you see he picked UM #6 this year? Everyone gave him crap last year when he said UM would beat OSU. Granted, he was wrong, but his score was a heck of a lot closer than most who thought OSU would win by 14.

I am impressed with Drake. He is a well spoken young man and a good representative of the university. I hope he is successful both on and off the field.

Brian mentioned in the podcast that Drake doesn't have much shake and is more of a straight line speed guy
August 23rd, 2014 at 12:05 PM ^
He reminds me of Dhani Jones.
That's a very good thing to be reminded of.

Guys, do you realize in exactly one week and 48 minutes (at the time I'm typing this) we're going to be watching MICHIGAN FOOTBALL!!!!!??!!!??!!!!
August 23rd, 2014 at 11:15 AM ^
RBs and Co. have been talking a lot about the work they have done. I just hope it shows up on Saturday.

Time to do it again.

...get one of those polos?
/s
August 24th, 2014 at 12:04 AM ^
You need to earn it, by wearing this polo for a week...
August 23rd, 2014 at 2:47 PM ^
Glad Drake discovered those sciency things.
August 23rd, 2014 at 8:57 PM ^
One time this season I would like to see Drake get a crease and show the type of breakaway speed he has.
