If you're a WR behind Tyler…

If you're a WR behind Tyler Morris, Semaj Morgan, and Fredrick Moore on the depth chart, there isn't much left to go around over the next two years. Even with a top-10 pick at QB in 2022 & 2023, the WR3 averaged < 300 yds / season, WR4 averaged < 150 yds / season, and the remaining receivers totaled < 100 yds / season.

Personally, it’s been tough…

Personally, it’s been tough to judge how much blame Warde deserves for Harbaugh’s departure. However, if I’m taking JUB’s Juwan reporting at face value (ie. Warde unlikely to fire Juwan on his own volition, but the decision is so obvious that Santa, regents, donors, etc will force his hand), I can absolutely draw the conclusion that Warde’s incompetence / stubbornness is a *huge* problem.

Beat me to it! Sherrone also made this mistake in his first tweet as coach.

Can we teach everyone…

Can we teach everyone involved with the program when to say “a part” vs. “apart”?

Source? I’m honestly pretty baffled. Here’s a newspaper article referencing a Stephen Adegoke 38-yard TD catch for South Gwinnett in 2009:

I was also having some difficulty figuring out how old Adegoke is. 

  • On the San Diego Mesa 2014 roster, he's listed as a freshman (~28 years old)
  • Per 247, he was class of 2014 (~28 years old)
  • Per ESPN, he was class of 2010 (~32 years old)
  • Per MaxPreps, he was on South Gwinnett HS's roster in 2007 and 2009 (absent from 2008 roster, but consistent with ESPN's designation as class of 2010)

Perhaps he's Mormon!

Rings hollow? I think…

Rings hollow? I think setting the draft record with most of the players going mid-rounds would be the perfect encapsulation of this team’s legacy.

Michigan bucked convention and won by achieving the highest success rate on player development in recent memory. 

Sam Webb warning us not to…

Sam Webb warning us not to underestimate how aggressively some of our underclassmen are being pursued, and the extent of the tampering that’s going on. 

It seemed like he was hinting at more Amorion Walker-type transfers, as opposed to established starters — somewhat reassuring but ominous nonetheless.

  • I took my best guess at who stays/goes.
  • Green = bonafide studs
  • Yellow = transfer priorities 

Who am I missing? Who am I too optimistic about?

Not sure why you reference Not sure why you reference Perry in response to which team has more talent- he’s still on the roster. Also, the Bunting mention was odd considering he wasn’t good enough to earn a 5th year on the 2018 squad. Believe It or not, the cb’s last year already did a good job replacing strib and lewis and they should come back even better. I’d give the edge to 2018, and Hopefully when we see a few players emerge that we might not have expected the answer will become even more obvious.
hoping for 2 years of shea,

hoping for 2 years of shea, then 2 years of mccaffrey

defensive player that forces defensive player that forces an intentional grounding should be awarded a sack. That would've made khaleke's statline even crazier with 3 sacks
Interesting theory on Bolden

Interesting theory on Bolden generating practice hype because he knew the offensive playbook so well.  My HS coach had a name for players like that--  "half speed All-American"

 

frippery

Brian, thank you for adding this word into my every day vocabulary

I liked all the deep shots

I liked all the deep shots downfield but Speight consistently waits too long on the deep ball and is forced to throw it out of bounds

blue pants would have looked great, but I didn't hate them.

It's unfortunate that I've It's unfortunate that I've squandered any legitimacy I could possibly have on this blog by telling a true story. You mention that I don't have very many points. Doesn't it make sense that if I have an account, even though I don't post very much, a crazy encounter like this would be something worth posting?
I took a pic of him from I took a pic of him from behind at baggage claim, but don't know how to embed. this would be a pretty elaborate and dumb lie, it's not like there is some huge secret I'm claiming he divulged.
harbaugh was on my flight

harbaugh was on my flight from detroit to DC yesterday.  i was standing next to him in line to board the flight and eavsdropping on his phone conversation.  He was talking to someone named donovan.  Maybe Peoples-Jones or Jeter?  I heard him talking about CMH and Ben Mason (both EE) and said he wanted to close out the class with Austin Jackson, Aubrey Solomon and Najee Harris.  After he hung up I introduced myself and asked if Michigan was gonna get Najee Harris.  He said "I guess I was talking too loud on the phone.  He's been admitted and we have a spot for him".  Got the vibe that he felt it was 50/50.

imagine the athleticism we

imagine the athleticism we would have at LB with Gay, Singleton and Browning..

beilein said when he has

beilein said when he has walton and simpson playing together it'll be simpson at PG and walton at SG. so maybe it will look more like:


PG: Walton- 60, Simpson- 40

SG: MAAR- 70, Walton- 20, Watson- 10

could be hard to cover -28

could be hard to cover -28 spread if the weather is as bad as it's supposed to be

A few questions about LB

A few questions about LB recruiting: What LB position does Singleton project to in Don Brown's scheme? How many LB's is the staff looking to take?  I've noticed that they have been ramping up their pursuit of some SAM linebackers (Faison-Walden, Shanon Reid, Falaniko), any reason for this? 

23-13 Mich. 
Dominant defense

23-13 Mich. 

Dominant defense and peppers returns gives Michigan good field position all game.  they are able to get into FG range on multiple drives but settle for some FGs after having trouble punching it in.

you've called Cesar Ruiz the

you've called Cesar Ruiz the most important player left on the board and I've always been a little confused by that.  Personally, I feel like Drew Singleton and DPJ are the most important.  Why do you feel that way about Ruiz ?

"Jake played out of his "Jake played out of his mind". Yup, QB's tend to outperform their talent level when coached by Harbaugh. I wonder if that was Ferentz considering he addressed Jake by his first name.

he is so stubborn about

he is so stubborn about refusing to throw his closer in a tie game on the road, it's getting ridiculous. he warmed up krod on 5 separate occasions anticipating the tigers could take the lead so he could put krod in for a save situation. finally when it was time he had been warming up on and off for the last 90 minutes and he blew it.

bummer. they showed zak irvin

bummer. they showed zak irvin wearing a navy jersey in one of the preview videos from a few days ago. all you could see was the collar but it looked promising. 

Love it. Especially the trim

Love it. Especially the trim on the sleeves of the aways.  What about basketball unis though? was pretty anxious to see those too

what the hell? he loves

what the hell? he loves michigan sports like all of us and happens to have a unique passion for michigan sports apparel.  He got to spend the night with tons of people that share that passion. He met a bunch of players (including rashan gary), saw harbaugh and desmond howard speak.. you have a serious perspective problem for not being able to recognize that different people get enjoyment from different things.

Love the 25 scholarship Love the 25 scholarship annual cap idea. How would transfers count against the limit though?
tons of football, basketball

tons of football, basketball and baseball players have been wearing jumpman for over a decade (derek jeter, charles woodson, manny machado, dez bryant, david price, terrell owens, eddie george, jalen ramsey, lamarr woodley to name a few). the logo has become synonymous with sports in general-- not just basketball
