Im a little taken aback - I thought Maurice Hurst was gonna be a superstar. I know he struggled with medical issues though

You're fine, man. Some people here are a little too on edge when it comes to downvoting. This is a valid thread.

I wouldnt want to endure 4 losing seasons, but I do think Michigan has enough administrative support that that wouldnt happen

I think David Shaws Stanford is indeed the model. Retain as many coaches and culture as you can. Stick to the blueprint JH left behind.

Above all, i like that he doubled down on pro-style with usage of TEs and fullbacks post-Harbaugh. I think that michigan needs to do the same.

I don't want michigan to attempt to be the, say, 6th or 7th best spread team in college football. I'd rather us be the best pro-style school, especially with wisconsin going away from that scheme. You can bully smaller spread defenses in a way that other teams cannot.

Now to be fair, I like the idea of introducing modern elements like motion and tempo, but you get what Im saying...

Who said anything about one dimensional? We are likely going to lose games no matter what without a senior JJ.

If this was 2025 and we had more more pass catching talent, i think i wouldve wanted to roll with denegal or davis. but in 2024 I think orji is best suited to start. Let him run the Jalen Milroe offense (2 reads, then scramble)

A bruising rushing attack would paper over a lot of issues for our offense next year. Tons of read option with Orji, maybe attempt around 15 or so passes a game.

dust off some of weiss's qb run game designs. protect the D, aim to win all of our games like 24-10

as time goes on we can put more on his plate in the pass game

Design the offense almost entirely around him, loveland and mullings

I'm just going to say it - i have conerns about Ron Bellamy's development at the WR position, as well as our pass game and WR utilization.

I do not think Clemons' issue is a lack of talent.

Thanks for 20 years brian!!

Weak for OL to only get one spot on this list. Should be tackle / guard / center

indeed

Mega eye-roll...if a World War is the standard of masculinity, a lot of men from all generations would fail.

Also Iraq war (for example) wasnt that long ago.

Like you're doing the past 3-4 days?

So, that sick 2017 gameplan featuring an uncoverable chris evans out of the backfield ....lets revisit it tomorrow, shall we?

Im picking semaj "steve breaston" morgan to open the game with a end around sweep for a TD similar to Giles Jackson in 2019 and AJ Henning in 2021

God speed.

Nooooo keep corum / edwards fresh as possible for Nov 25 pls

Was a terrible locker room presence. It was clear his teammates were happy to see him go.

Life is just better with a michigan hoops team that's a threat to make a run in march

"A white-out of a different kind: While it wasn’t a white-out day, it certainly was one racially. "

Loled and spit out my coffee

Dude - that post header image (of will johnson vs the purdue WR) is beautiful!

One of the great rap intros ever, IMO.

I think you have to try hard to be offended by that second quote lol

Sanctions and vacating titles for level 3 violations?

People (in seats purchased by conor stalions) using cell phones during games (in which they appeared to point said phone at the home team's sideline the entire game)........that's what using electronic means to do in-person scouting looks like, yes

Next season:

Mullings + Hall - Thunder & more thunder

Well, there you go. Bama's idea of a "down program" would be talented enough to win almost every other league

I think Bama's problems have more to do with coaching than personnel (i.e dropping from 1st in the talent composite to something like 3rd).

apparently Tommy Rees thought shoehorning Jalen Milroe into a pocket passer role was a good idea. It was not. Constructing an offense like Lane Kiffin did for freshman year Jalen Hurts wouldve been a smarter play IMO

. Also - i sincerely doubt the Saban of old wouldve panicked & benched Milroe for 1 game after the Texas loss.

"Michigan seems to still have the same weak spots at LB that they had last year"

What? They added the best transfer LB in the country

I think he's a stevie brown situation where he might be better served moving a level closer to the ball. I think he could hack it well as a pass rushing OLB or DE.

Im surprised that DJ Waller seems to be ahead of Jyaire Hill

I think it's "Ohio vs the world" but yes, I believe Detroit vs Everybody was the original. People have swiped their own versions since

Eubanks?

(it baffles me, I thought he was a great athlete)

I wish we'd throw the ball more. +7 PA attempts a game.

We're shooting for the natty, chief

Shitty recruiting? Where on this team do you see, at worst, average recruiting or worse?

Thats awesome that he's doing that / making the best of a bad situation. Good for him

very gung ho for a 2024 season with Mullings as lead RB

In this shortened clock era - there just arent that many run opportunities available after Corum, and Mullings seems more of a pile pusher anyway. I'd just move Edwards to 50% of his snaps at slot WR.

I would say Edwards is one of our top 11 on offense, he should see the field as much as possible, even if we have to get into creative formations to do it

Michigan failed Devin Gardner- shouldve been on there as well.

I think that would be a disservice to him at this point in his career. He's an NFL draft pick at nickel / slot corner, and probably a decently high one.

Trotting him out at slot WR would probably improve blocking, but I'm not sure he brings anything else to the table Tyler Morris doesnt.

Adblock (although I know they use ads to make money. Maybe donate a few bucks, then install it)

Not a fan of the outside zone. Stay in the pin and pull, arc read, down G wheelhouse please. Also Brian - what are your thoughts on tempo? Shouldnt we be scoring in the 40s against these level of opponents instead of the 30s?

Forgot about the rabbit-chasing speed training that young athletes do in Pahokee

I didnt mind Danielson and Nessler being nostalgic. Neither has been in the big house since 2005 and were clearly happy to be back. Dont blame them for reminiscing what michigan football was like 20 years ago.

best take on the situation, I think

Deion has done/ said some stuff that annoyed me but this is just people clutching pearls.

it's football. Training camp fights happen. Have your teammates' back in all situations, and they'll have yours. When it's a fight between teammates, then have your position group's back, or unit's back.

Never expected to read this on mgo lol. I'd go but I have concerns about the level of preparation involved and the fact you cant buy anything. In theory, a trade system sounds fun, but in reality, theres always something you need to buy at a camping festival
