Some people cannot help it! Just check their posting history!!! Think Dennis Green. They are who they.......are!!!
January 11th, 2024 at 6:45 PM ^
Amazing how you guys are worried. It’s gone be fine guys. Enjoy the championship. Jesus
January 11th, 2024 at 6:45 PM ^
Dixon never appeared to be close to seeing the field on offense, the fact he has stuck around this long and is on defense now seems like only good news.
For pass catchers we've already seen good stuff from Semaj, Morris, and Loveland. That's a pretty nice floor while having no idea what anyone else on the roster can do. Add a taller Nico-like guy from the portal and we're set.

January 11th, 2024 at 6:58 PM ^
Of course Walker announces his transfer just as I post this...
Farewell.
January 11th, 2024 at 6:58 PM ^
We could be better next year from this roster
January 11th, 2024 at 7:02 PM ^
Huh? No shot.
You lose the best RB in school history. Both your starting WRs with no proven depth behind them.
Your 3 best OL. A starting DT. Both starting LBs. A starting EDGE. And this is assuming Harrell and Rod Moore come back.
January 11th, 2024 at 7:11 PM ^
Didn’t Harrell already declare for nfl?
January 11th, 2024 at 7:12 PM ^
No, McGregor did.
Harrell is still weighing his options, but I think most believe he'll leave.
January 11th, 2024 at 7:14 PM ^
Morris is proven as is Morgan. Michigan returns a ton of talented linemen, three with experience. UM returns two all world DTs, really good pass rushers at Edge,two proven Big Ten linebackers, a generational talent at CB…lots and lots to like.
Harrell is gone.
January 11th, 2024 at 7:19 PM ^
I didn't say there wasn't lots to like...I said they're not better than a team that just won an outright national championship, beating 4 top 10 teams in 6 games.
If they can find WRs and CBs, I love their chances...(assuming JJ and Donovan return).
January 11th, 2024 at 7:11 PM ^
This is super helpful. I could be wrong, but I believe Barner and Harrell accepted Senior Bowl invites and thus will not be here - but even so, this is incredibly reassuring even if several others leave.
It might be that I/we've were spoiled by this year where there were essentially no question marks going into spring camp and have memory-hole'd that it's very, very common to have a lot of unknowns less than a week after the last season ended. :)
January 11th, 2024 at 7:14 PM ^
Correct on Barner...that's my mistake.
Harrell has not accepted a senior bowl invite.
Edit: Correction, Harrell accepted an invite 6 hours ago. I will remove him from the chart above.
I've also removed Caden Kolesar, who posted his farewell today on social media.
January 11th, 2024 at 7:14 PM ^
Yes, he has.
January 11th, 2024 at 7:16 PM ^
Then he must have today. Because he's not listed.
I am mistaken...he accepted an invite 6 hours ago. I'll remove him.
January 11th, 2024 at 8:20 PM ^
There are some holes to fill but there is a ton of returning production on that list. I believe I will just watch next year with a smile because we are The Champs until someone knocks us off. Go Blue!
January 11th, 2024 at 8:23 PM ^
Man if you don't give Trente Jones his own slot, you lose all credibility. Jones should have been the starting RT all season.
January 12th, 2024 at 8:25 AM ^
lol, funny that someone would question my credibility who clearly doesn't know why Jones hasn't been a permanent starter in his career.
Might want to take a step back, smart guy.
Jones should be the outright starter. But there's a lot more to his story and it has nothing to do with the production he's shown on the field.
January 11th, 2024 at 6:51 PM ^
Can we start a rumor that Xavier Worthy has entered the portal and headed north?
January 11th, 2024 at 7:21 PM ^
he'll at least get a nice pay raise
January 11th, 2024 at 6:53 PM ^
Amorion Walker has officially entered the portal
January 11th, 2024 at 7:10 PM ^
Transfer portal is a thing.
January 11th, 2024 at 7:52 PM ^
Everyone could leave our team this year and we could lose every game all season. Nothing can take away the feeling we all have right now and the accomplishment the team made this season. I can only speak for myself, but there is nothing that I am concerned about next year. We just won a National Freaking Championship and there is no other team that can say the same in D1 College football.
January 11th, 2024 at 9:25 PM ^
could the football team field a practice/walk-on bb team that could improve our men's bball team this weekend?
Great off season conditioning opportunity...
