Will Johnson's family says he's staying
The Will Johnson to Alabama rumors are "ALL CAP," per the family. He is staying at Michigan

We can have can nice things!
February 21st, 2024 at 3:43 PM ^
Wouldn't make any damn sense to leave. Not like he would improve his draft stock there or something. Already gonna be a top 10 pick.
February 21st, 2024 at 3:49 PM ^
To be fair, if the NIL at Bama is so much better he could make more $$ this year while still being a top 10 pick.
February 21st, 2024 at 4:23 PM ^
I also feel like part of Will's NIL and direct source revenue is based on his legacy status and being from the D. If he transferred, it's likely some of that would take a hit.
February 21st, 2024 at 3:48 PM ^
Thank goodness!
February 21st, 2024 at 3:50 PM ^
Does “all cap” mean all crap?
February 21st, 2024 at 3:58 PM ^
Some people just like to make shit up and think they are Adam Schefter and have ten cell phones...
February 21st, 2024 at 3:58 PM ^
How about the Caleb Downs rumors going around? Let's make that happen.
February 21st, 2024 at 4:08 PM ^
I like the Milroe rumors to M better. What happened to those?
February 21st, 2024 at 4:17 PM ^
I'm for any rumor where a player spurns OSU (after they already joined up) to come to Michigan though. Milroe is good to though.
February 21st, 2024 at 4:06 PM ^
I didn't realize there was a chance he'd leave?
February 21st, 2024 at 4:14 PM ^

The 1st man to walk on the moon was 1969.
The 1st black football player to play for Alabama was 1971.

Looks like 'no cap' comes from a 2017 song in which they meant 'no limit' but dumbasses these days like to misunderstand or mishear things and turn it into slang so somehow people thought it meant 'no lies' and ran with it. I blame our shitty schools and society's current lack of shame and the ability to backtrack anything. File it adjacent to the death of 'begs the question' and 'impacted' and too many more.
February 21st, 2024 at 7:41 PM ^
You blame schools for young people using slang you don't understand?
February 21st, 2024 at 7:49 PM ^
Seriously. Language is constantly changing and that’s good. Otherwise, we’d still speak like Bill Shakespeare. Jive?
February 22nd, 2024 at 1:54 AM ^
I blame schools for people not knowing what cap means and thinking 'no cap' means 'no lie' when they meant 'no limit' and turning it into a slang, yeah. Should 'bone apple tea' be the real term for bon appetit too? When I wrote 'for all intensive purposes' in a paper as a kid and got corrected to 'for all intents and purposes' did I double down on stupid and try to make it a thing? No I corrected myself.
February 22nd, 2024 at 12:02 PM ^
Ah, now we get to the heart of this--as always, it's about childhood trauma. Just let it out. Speak your truth. The MGoPsychiatrist is in.
February 22nd, 2024 at 6:25 PM ^
It wasn't traumatic, it's education. No clue why I didnt just ask my parents. Internet search engines were probably too primitive back then.
February 21st, 2024 at 4:16 PM ^
I don’t trust Michigan “insiders” so I’ll just let this play out
February 21st, 2024 at 4:18 PM ^
Please don't be from an insider. Please don't be from an insider.
February 21st, 2024 at 4:21 PM ^
So he's gone then. Fuck.
February 21st, 2024 at 5:25 PM ^
Honestly, Mike Sainristil took a bit of the shine from Will Johnson last year just simply due to huge plays in critical moments. However, I'm convinced Will Johnson has the potential to be Charles Woodson 2.0. He's a beast & a player.
Go Blue!
February 21st, 2024 at 9:48 PM ^
He already is
February 21st, 2024 at 5:30 PM ^
CAP? Man, I am old. I can't even begin to unpack how that means "it's not real"
February 21st, 2024 at 10:47 PM ^
The 2018 Stanley Cup was a fraud..
February 21st, 2024 at 11:35 PM ^
Cap Cup cap?
February 21st, 2024 at 5:35 PM ^
Of course Will Johnson is staying. He’s been a Michigan Man since he was a Michigan boy. He was pretty much a lock to attend the University of Michigan since middle school. He never wavered in his commitment and has always been a great student, leader, and a great football player. If there were more kids like him I think a lot of coaches wouldn’t be trying their hardest to get out college football. Will Johnson is a great kid and a perfect example of what you want in a football player. He is a guy that does everything for the benefit of the team. Will Johnson will go down as one of the best players on the best team Michigan has put on the field since’97.You could definitely make an argument for Peppers but to me he was just more of a pure athlete that could play anywhere on the field. If Johnson is lucky enough to stay healthy, he definitely has the talent to wear a gold jacket and have a bust one day in Canton. Will Johnson is probably one of the top 3 CB’s I’ve seen put on the winged helmet in my life, with the other two being Charles Woodson and Ty Law. When they talk about guys being “Michigan Men” Will Johnson is the exact type of guy they are referring to.
February 21st, 2024 at 5:55 PM ^
Fuck Alabama
February 21st, 2024 at 5:58 PM ^
For our older readers,
”CAP” = obvious untruth, patently inaccurate
February 22nd, 2024 at 2:50 PM ^
You don’t notice your connection to the Zeitgeist vaporizing until you wake up one day and you realize you have no idea what the youngsters are getting on about.
February 21st, 2024 at 6:40 PM ^
Where did these rumors come up anyways? Haven't heard about them.
February 21st, 2024 at 7:15 PM ^
Surely not using M to increase Bama's offer!
February 21st, 2024 at 8:48 PM ^
We now the need to see the per Graham and Grant families to rest easy. (Among others )
February 22nd, 2024 at 12:00 AM ^
Whatever court said unlimited transfers is a joke. Totally on board for 1 when things dont work out - either you dont belong on a P5 top 25 team and it would benefit you to go to a G5 team you can play minutes and/or you way out played your ranking and do belong on a big time team vs playing @ a joke program like Louisville lafayette or Alberta Southern or MSU (3 trash programs) but this bullshit free agency every 20 seconds and OSU guys with 2 inch weiners buying everyone is nonsense.
February 22nd, 2024 at 12:45 AM ^
Michigan Man! And will represent the University when he joins the League. GO BLUE!!
February 22nd, 2024 at 7:49 AM ^
After seeing my portal value, I too, will remain on this board.
February 22nd, 2024 at 7:53 AM ^
Jive turkeys are going to jive turkey
February 22nd, 2024 at 9:31 AM ^
I didn’t know there were rumors that Will was headed to Bama…
February 22nd, 2024 at 11:07 AM ^
It's amazing how this story caught traction based off a few OSU and Bama fans just making shit up on Twitter
February 22nd, 2024 at 12:54 PM ^
A happy Friday Eve to all!!
