Cabana goes Blue!
Video here. MichiganInsider didn't carry it livestream, like they planned to. This is from his aunt's facebook. Not great sound quality:

Welcome to the Good Guys!
February 5th, 2022 at 3:08 PM ^
Yes welcome Cole!!
But an important question is will the stadium PA play "At the Copa Cabana" when he scores a TD?
February 5th, 2022 at 7:34 PM ^
4 Star and #8 running back according to Rivals
February 5th, 2022 at 2:25 PM ^
Welcome Cole, way to GoBlue!
February 5th, 2022 at 2:29 PM ^
Yes, that's better quality. He starts at 9:34
February 5th, 2022 at 2:25 PM ^
Grats, Cole! Welcome to Michigan!
Go Blue!
February 5th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
Can't wait for all the McGuffy/Gerhart comparisons
February 5th, 2022 at 2:36 PM ^
I was thinking Christian McCaffrey. Maybe Larry Bird.
February 5th, 2022 at 2:38 PM ^
Wes Welker; real gym rat, gritty, tough.
February 5th, 2022 at 4:38 PM ^
Do people compare cooper kupp to jordy Nelson or is Kupp in a league of his own?
February 5th, 2022 at 5:38 PM ^
Larry Bird...lol. Why not John Stockton or even Hunter Dickinson....
February 5th, 2022 at 2:42 PM ^
Hunter Renfrew... but FAST!
February 5th, 2022 at 2:48 PM ^
Deceptively.
February 5th, 2022 at 6:01 PM ^
I was thinking Woody Harrelson.
And according to Bill Murray, Larry is clear.

4.3 40? Can't have too many of those. Here's hoping that the cabana jokes on MGoBlog won't be the peak of his UMich experience.
February 5th, 2022 at 2:42 PM ^
Can he return kicks?
February 5th, 2022 at 2:30 PM ^
I can remember when I thought I looked like that.
February 5th, 2022 at 2:30 PM ^
Can’t be right. Lots of smart guys who definitely know what they’re talking about kept saying that Harbaugh’s interest in the NFL would tank recruiting going forward. Thoroughly confused how such a knowledgable group could be so wrong . . .
February 5th, 2022 at 2:35 PM ^
I think this past 2 weeks is going to solidify the team even more. Jim Harbaugh wants a National Championship. They can all throw in with him!
February 5th, 2022 at 2:42 PM ^
To be fair, Jim wanted a Super Bowl and would have left if offered a job.
February 5th, 2022 at 2:56 PM ^
I read something different from people that know him.
February 5th, 2022 at 3:21 PM ^
Does it matter? Jim has been 100% the entire way. And we know he will do this job with Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind regardless.
Those are two things I deeply appreciate about Harbaugh. He's very weird, but from all accounts (1) he's honest and (2) all in on the job he was hired to do.
February 5th, 2022 at 3:36 PM ^
He really does seem to value honesty.
I'm not worried at all about the effect on players and recruits. How they played this past season will say more about him than the NFL interview. A national Championship this upcoming season is a possibility. Will it be very hard in the playoffs? Yes. But if the D Line is drastically improved over last season, it is possible.
I'm looking for even better play from Cade McNamara, since he has one year starting experience under his belt. I'm thinking 13-0 is going to happen (barring injuries). What happens in the playoffs..... better than last season, that I can say.
I'm believing. I'm supporting Coach Harbaugh.
February 5th, 2022 at 3:44 PM ^
"If the D line is drastically improved over last season"
You do realize that Michigan had the two best edge defenders in the country right? One is most likely going #1 overall and the other in the top 20. The d line is going to take a step back regardless of whoever is coaching the unit. That type of production does not just get replaced. If the team is wanting to make it back to the playoff for this year then it is going to be done by scoring a lot more points.
February 5th, 2022 at 3:55 PM ^
Yeah, I neglected to put the word "interior" on it.
February 5th, 2022 at 5:35 PM ^
Cade McNamara, the back-up QB?
February 5th, 2022 at 9:44 PM ^
I support Harbaugh as well. I hope for nothing but one amazing season in 2022, but if the 2022 season doesn't meet expectations, his pursuit of the NFL may come back to bite him. That is just reality.
February 5th, 2022 at 9:57 PM ^
Yeah, that could happen. I just don't think it will. There's too many good people involved in the coaching staff now. There's too many good minds involved for things to shipwreck.
But then again, stranger things have happened.
I'm thinking the team is going to hit the ground running. Colorado St, Hawaii, UConn and Maryland might have some very bad things happen to them.

It matters to assholes.
February 5th, 2022 at 5:12 PM ^
you have been shown to be flatly wrong, again and again.
you still persist with this crap.
February 5th, 2022 at 5:47 PM ^
I imagine every single 5 star recruit is on board w that thinking. Its the pinnacle of the sport and unlike 99. 9999% of those involved he was right on the cusp of his lunar landing moment. Few have any idea what that's like, not Urban, Saban, Day, Carr, Bo...none of them...to get sooo close...
I don't blame him one bit...and frankly wouldn't if he repeats or improves upon 2021....win championships, have everyone talking, go get your super bowl....but hopefully w a clear, groomed successor.
February 5th, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
I don't disagree with your post. What I am saying is 100% factual. Jim Harbaugh is at Michigan currently solely because his #1 choice (going to an NFL team) fell through. That isn't my opinion. That is a fact. Michigan may be were he "wants" to be currently, because his preferred option fell through.
February 5th, 2022 at 2:36 PM ^
you've never lived in silicon valley, have you
February 5th, 2022 at 3:03 PM ^
Yeah, I really don't think Harbaugh's flirtation will have much impact at all in recruiting.
Cabana is a very solid player, think maybe best in slot. To be fair, Michigan was his clear current best offer (MSU was keeping him at arm's length).
February 5th, 2022 at 5:26 PM ^
Hahahahaha I’m amazed this is the guy you chose to pull that statement out on
February 5th, 2022 at 5:43 PM ^
And like a moth to a flame, one of those smart guys comes to bitch more about recruiting, knock a new commitment, complain about Harbaugh’s ‘disloyalty’ (or whatever you want to clutch pearls about this time) and generally act like a whiny, entitled child.
February 6th, 2022 at 1:24 AM ^
Uh a bit of an overreaction there buddy. I mean, it's great having speed. Seems like a good prospect. But he is a local 3-star and exactly the kind of guy you'd expect Michigan to get even in a down year in recruiting.
February 6th, 2022 at 10:31 AM ^
Sure because getting a 3 star in state recruit everyone said we would get really disproves that point. Let’s see how this recruiting class and upcoming season finish out.
February 5th, 2022 at 2:35 PM ^
But what about his adopted Brazilian brother, Copa?
February 5th, 2022 at 2:44 PM ^
Does he like yellow ribbons?
February 5th, 2022 at 2:56 PM ^
Welcome! AA is, after all, the hottest spot north of Havana!
I'll show myself out now...
And you can thank me later for planting that ear-worm, if you're old enough to know the reference.
February 5th, 2022 at 5:07 PM ^
Lol 85. You must not follow the board much. Yours is AT BEST the 20th reference to the Copacabana.
February 5th, 2022 at 7:37 PM ^
I'm pretty sure I made the first one.
February 5th, 2022 at 2:57 PM ^
We will take the Maize and Blue Cabana by the pool and send over some Funky Cole Cabanas please!
February 5th, 2022 at 2:59 PM ^
Looks like from his foot position in that picture that he might be able to benefit from a speed coach.
February 5th, 2022 at 3:15 PM ^
Yeah. Serious pronation going on there… says the guy that couldn’t run half as fast.
