Damn, had this up 2 minutes ago but denied by 503 error.
Anyhow, 1 week in FL - Harbaugh ain't playin...
Harbaugh: plan to have first week of spring practice in Florida, during Michigan's Spring Break.

Saban has the SEC commissioner on the phone as we talk to figure out how they can deem this illegal.
Harbaugh: you're allowed to cross state borders.

Jim sleeping in his car next to the football field for a week and climbing one of the goal posts.

That's an awesome idea. Get the kids outdoors, enjoy the weather, plenty of practice, also time to relax and enjoy break. All on Michigan's dime. I lived in Bradenton 3 years, and that's a great time of year.

and most important allow 50+ of the best recruits in the nation to get to your practice within a few hour drive. Oh and a handful that just so happen to practice on that field every day in fall.

Current count of ESPN 300 commits:
B1G East - 41
B1G West - 4

We've thrown it around a few times on the board, but when you look at historic average recruit (not recruiting) rankings, I think 4 out of the top 5 in the Big Ten in terms of average over the last dozen years or so are currently in the Big Ten East - Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan State. Nebraska is the only other Big Ten program that average something around or above 3.00 out of 5 stars for a recruit - everyone else is considerably below that.
The disparity is not shocking at all.

That's the best time of year to be in Florida, before the summer heat.

I don't believe it has yet been officially announced, but does anyone know - or best guess - the date of this year's Spring Game?
Thanks.

I'm really hoping the submarine doesn't go underwater until fall camp. I'm totally fine with operational security before the start of the season, but spring ball is the time of year when I really start jonesing for some football content, any content, even if it's pore-O-vision practice clips.

Who are the top 2017 prospects at IMG?
February 3rd, 2016 at 3:26 PM ^
#1 overall player in country Dylan Moses is there but I keep reading we are not interested in him? Not a premium member so maybe someone can share why if they know.
Joshua Kaindoh is there. Jordan Anthony, Will Ignont., Jhahom Ausbon, Kellen Mond.
And I'm sure they have some nice 2018s and 2019s even though of course Harbaugh hates recruiting and will be in the NFL by then.
More important than 1 player is getting a foothold established there.

Coach Harbaugh is always innovating and trying to find ways to get better. Seems like a great idea and another innovation to help the team get better.

Why would it be? Pretty damn rare for Michigan.
February 3rd, 2016 at 4:33 PM ^
Damn IMG is loaded - and OSU already snagged two of their 2017s! This is war!

played a Big 12 schedule, how many games would they win?
I suspect they could possibly get close to .500.
