the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection
Spring Rosters Hooray!
Filed under:
The Spring Rosters are out, hooray, hooray, the spring rosters are out, hooray! Let's totally overanalyze them and make outrageous statements! (Note: Outrageous statements are outrageous. Truly truly truly outrageous)
Early Enrollees With #s:
| No. | Name | Pos. | Ht. | Wt. | Hometown (High School) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35 | Joe Bolden | LB | 6'3 | 230 | Cincinnati, Ohio (Colerain) |
| 49 | Kaleb Ringer | LB | 6'1 | 225 | Clayton, Ohio (Northmont) |
| 22 | Jarrod Wilson | S | 6'2 | 190 | Akron, Ohio (Akron Buchtel) |
Jarrod Wilson shares a number with Michigan's last competent free safety (until last year?). This totally means: He will be Jamar Adams except fast like Ty Law.
Dudes who changed positions (you know some of these already):
| No. | Name | Old Pos | New Pos |
|---|---|---|---|
| 55 | Jibreel Black | DE | DT |
| 93 | Chris Eddins | DE | TE |
| 94 | Jordan Paskorz | LB | TE |
| 97 | Brennen Beyer | LB | DE |
This totally means: Jibreel Black isn't Brandon Graham, or maybe he is but it's what we'd do if we had Brandon Graham today. Brennan Beyer is Craig Roh. Craig Roh Woodley!
Dudes who changed numbers:
| Name | Old # | New # | Pos | Ht. | Wt. | Elig. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Russell Bellomy | 3 | 8 | QB | 6'3 | 189 | RS FR |
| Paul Gyarmati | 59 | 99 | LB | 6'1 | 216 | RS SR |
This totally means: Russell Bellomy is like Drew Henson PLUS ONE! Or...I dunno. Here's previous multi-year QBs to wear #8: Nick Sheridan, Jim Breaugh, and a guy who went to school with my brother.
Others guys who didn't return (class is what they would have been this year)
| No. | Name | Pos. | Class | Hgt. | Wgt. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 | Alex Schwab | DT | SR 5th | 6'1 | 241 |
| 28 | Matthew Cavanaugh | S | SR 5th | 5'10 | 190 |
| 35 | Jordan Barpal | WR | SR 5th | 5'10 | 166 |
| 93 | Kris Pauloski | PK | RS JR | 6'3 | 204 |
| 32 | O'Neil Swanson | RB | RS JR | 5'10 | 162 |
| 96 | Jeremy Ross | PK | RS SO | 5'5 | 150 |
| 13 | Ben Fry | QB | SO | 5'10 | 178 |
This totally means: Gibbons YOU PUT IT THRU THE UPRIGHTS BRUNETTES!
Walk-ons you never heard of before:
| No. | Name | Pos. | Ht. | Wt. | Elig. | Hometown (High School) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | Alex Swieca | QB | 6'1 | 210 | RS FR | New York, N.Y. (The Frisch School) |
| 27 | Jonathan Keizer | WR | 6'5 | 205 | RS FR | Portage, MI (Portage Northern) |
This totally means: Portage gets another shot. Hi Cat!
Baquer Sayed appears on the roster this year as well. For some reason he was on my old 2011 roster but didn't make it into the Bentley Records. Speaking of Bentley Records, WEIGHT GAIN 2012...oh. Nevermind, they haven't changed anything.
Here's Incredibly Svelt Miguel Cabrera instead.

So he's basically the dream of every one of us un-athletic types who imagines themselves getting into shape, and scraping their way onto the team after neglecting to try out in high school? Awesome.

Gyarmati
Gyarmati was wearing #99 last year. Did you mean he changed to 59 from 99 or was this a mid-season thing last year?
March 20th, 2012 at 3:02 AM |
I think it was a mid-season
I think it was a mid-season
I think it was a mid-season switch. My last update for last year's roster was sometime in early November I think. I try to catch every iteration to see if they're fuddling with a certain number.

Alex Swieca is the Real Deal
Alex Swieca is the Real Deal
It's about time the name of Alex Swieca finally gets mentioned on Mgoblog. This kid is a former wrestler, trained with the Israeli Defence Forces and received League MVP honors as quarterback of the Israel Football League championship team. I would love to see him get a few snaps in the Spring Game this year. Oh, by the way, he never played a down of high school football!

I could be wrong, but I think Bellomy switched from #3 to #8 last season, too. I don't think any of these jersey numbers have been updated except for the newcomers.

Eddins and paskorzc have to change numbers to be eligible receivers (technically, but LOL)?

Kinda liked the idea of Shallman wearing that in the backfield... Ah well.
Somethin' about the numbers game that really gets exciting, turning the page into a new season of football.

It could still happen

Shallman could still get #49 and wear it on offense. Hold tight to that dream.
How can we make wild predictions without updated weight gains/losses?
