Andy Staples thinks Walter Nolen is coming to Michigan
Yes, I know he is not a recruiting insider, but he is one of the smartest national reporters and does seem to be truly neutral in his coverage. He has been very fair to Michigan during all the scandal nonsense, and he does seem plugged in to lots of programs around the country.
He doesn't think it's a lock for Nolan, he thinks Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia are still in the mix, but for what it's worth, he's leaning Michigan. My only other thought about his analysis is that he needs to be reminded that Mason Graham is a thing, and we have more than Kenneth Grant coming back.
Who knows what will happen, but if we had Nolen next year on our line, Michigan would be a frightening defense.

I've heard this before - Waltern Nolen is a lean to Michigan but Tennessee is in the mix.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:17 AM ^
Tennessee plays defense?
December 8th, 2023 at 10:28 AM ^
More like Tennessee pays defense.
December 8th, 2023 at 12:27 PM ^
They're not getting their money's worth...
December 8th, 2023 at 10:17 AM ^
Fuck Michigan.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:23 AM ^
You are getting downvotes but I enjoyed the Aubrey Solomon reference
December 8th, 2023 at 12:15 PM ^
Hopefully, for the kid, he ends up nothing like Aubrey Solomon
December 8th, 2023 at 10:30 AM ^
Clearly recency bias with the downvotes. Love the reference as well.
December 8th, 2023 at 11:25 AM ^
Yeah, gotta admit. Aubrey Solomon is the first name that popped into my head too.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:57 AM ^
Whoever downvotes this is just showing that they are not a true MGoNerd!
December 8th, 2023 at 11:54 AM ^
...and they don't have a fuck lion either!

Aubrey Solomon will always be the guy who did the thing he was never going to do until he did that thing and then he undid the thing anyway.
December 8th, 2023 at 11:13 AM ^
I heard Solomon is playing professionally in Italy.
December 8th, 2023 at 12:28 PM ^
He's playing futbol in Italy? Dude's more athletic than I thought...
December 8th, 2023 at 11:18 AM ^
he even gave Michigan a second chance, after they misspelled his name on a note, thanking him and his mom for attending the BBQ (that they didn't attend)...
It will forever be known as the "The Aubrey Solomon affair"
December 8th, 2023 at 3:10 PM ^
Better outcome than the “Xavier Worthy Affair”.
December 8th, 2023 at 4:21 PM ^
Well that def depends on who's outcome we are speaking of..
December 8th, 2023 at 11:23 AM ^
Fuck Michigan.
This should be the verification question/answer for all new MGOBLOG accounts.
December 8th, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
Leads to thinking we should amass a top 10 MGoBlog generated memes along with Counter Strike insiders and Shea Patterson's account, and others.

Worth noting, it's the 1 of 5 predictions he makes that he says he actually has no idea and is guessing.
Also while he correctly identifies Kenneth Grant as a rising talent on the D-Line at UM, he never mentions Mason Graham, so I wouldn't take this seriously.
December 8th, 2023 at 11:02 AM ^
Don't forget about Alabama's engineering program....

If you look at the “Portal Primer” post from a few days ago you’ll see that I hinted at this possibility. Obviously this solidifies my status as an “insider.” So I’ve got that going for me.
December 8th, 2023 at 2:39 PM ^
He was originally planning to sign with Michigan but Jimbo offered him a Rolls Royce:
December 8th, 2023 at 2:41 PM ^
I read somewhere Nolan can play edge? I always thought he was a DT.
That would be sick if he could play either considering the pieces we already have.
December 9th, 2023 at 1:41 AM ^
Just don’t misspell his name as Walter “Nolan” and we’re a lock. [or is it “Nolon”?]
December 8th, 2023 at 10:16 AM ^
This could be a new model for UM football. Recruit guys so they see what we can do for them. Send them to another place for 1-2 years to get their $$$... then come here to prep for the league, and boom. Win win... Win!
December 8th, 2023 at 10:39 AM ^
Problem is, at that age, 1-2 years is a lot of development time lost. A lot of bad habits can be ingrained during that time too.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:52 AM ^
Just means they are more likely to stay for their senior/5th year as they see how much improvement they gain year-over-year.
