Apparently the fact that Slocum isn't qualified yet means there was "zero mutual interest" between ND and Slocum. Because I'm sure ND would have turned up its nose at a near five-star DT because he still needs to take a test. Slocum has repeatedly stated that he expects to qualify, as well.

INCH's CCHA Notebook contains a feature on Hensick and lots of other interesting items about Michigan and the CCHA. It's actually worth reading, unlike Paula Weston's incoherent ramblings on USCHO.

The official early entry list for the NFL draft is up. And Alex Ofili's on it! This is super weird. I mean, the guy had twelve career tackles.

It's possible that Michigan informed Ofili he wouldn't be asked back for a fifth year, maybe he had academic problems, maybe his family needs money. I have no idea what happened here but whatever story that comes out will be interesting. This decision is even weirder than the Shantee Orr one a couple years back.

The impact on next year's team probably won't be great. Watson, Massey, and Branch are a clear 1-2-3 at defensive tackles, and then you've got Will Johnson, Will Paul, Marques Slocum, and Terrence Taylor. The depth is fine. I wouldn't be surprised if this decision was Michigan's, not Ofili's.

Classic.

You know, as absolutely insane as the RCMB is all the time, it provides excellent comedy on a regular basis... some of it intentional, some of it not so much. The above thread is BOTH! Yow!

Zoltan the Inconcievable has acquired a third star from Rivals, which is two stars short of where he should be, but still a step in the right direction. He's now the #2 kicker in the country behind some dude going to Nebraska. Also the #6 kicker is named "Merf Trout."

Yes, Merf, your parents wanted a furry, not a son.

Is official. Sweet. Another top-100 defensive linemen and a near five-star to boot.

Carr can't close this!
