Nice article about the next Wangler to hit campus. What does everyone expect from him while he is here?
Interesting portion of the article: He's used to people recognizing his last name and saying, "Oh, you're John's son," and got used to answering to that frequent reference.
The key quote
I would love to think that he
I would love to think that he will be the offensive version of Kovacs but I feel like that is going to be jinxed before he even hits campus given all this fanfare he's getting.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
I expect him to be a solid
I expect him to be a solid team guy who maybe sees the field to block once in a while or be tossed a bone in blowout victories. He's a walk-on for a reason. I don't think he can be a viable player at Michigan.
Jordan Kovacs was also a
Jordan Kovacs was also a walk-on and I think he made a name for himself. Don't count anyone out
I love Kovacs as much as anyone,
but do you think he sees the field if there were highly rated prospets ahead of him? I mean, part of the reason he played was that our recruited guys left, were terrible, or coached by GERG.
I have to believe he saw what was in front of him and thought "hey, if I work my ass of, I can actually start over these other guys!"
Now, WR is probably a good spot for a walk-on to work his ass of and play significantly in 3-4 years, but Michigan has recruted some ballers and there is still a class to go for Wrangler's competition in 3-4 years.

Thanks for the heads up. I
Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know Kovacs was a walk-on.
This changes everything.
I guess this means every walk
I guess this means every walk on will be all conference caliber.

Seriously, I don't know about Wangler, but Michigan's had serious preferred walk-on talent in the past. As a preferred, isn't he likely to get a scholarship eventually?
It doesn't really matter to
It doesn't really matter to me whether he's a walk-on or he was the first kid to be offered a full ride in the class. He's still not an impressive athlete.
The words "next wangler to

I expect him to be an All B1G player while here. Seriously. Just so we can rub it in Magnus' face.

I know you do, that's why I like you. You may not always say the most flattering things about these kids, but I know that you want to see each and everyone of them become successful.

I will wish the same thing that I do for every former player's
son. By the time he leaves, I hope he has changed John's name to "you know, Jack's dad".
May you have a strong foundation

I see him growing into a role like Drew Dileo. Sure hands, not great speed, but dependable. Im OK with that.

Dileo isn't the fastest guy
Dileo isn't the fastest guy around, but I'm guessing he would dust Wangler in a race and in agility drills.
If you have
To compare him to a white WR how about Yale Van Dyne.
He will
Play sparingly as an underclassman (after a redshirt year) in his junior season he will be the number two receiver and then he will wear the newest michigan legends jersey, the number 1, and be all big ten.

Nick Sheridan
I think Wangler is a lot closer to being Nick Sheridan than being his dad. I think he'll be a solid practice guy who comes to realize how great it is getting a sideline pass for every game. Then again, you never know: he could find a niche as a third down guy.
Expect him to
enjoy his time in AA and be a great team player.
He doesn't have the physical skills to see playing time on a top 10 team, but he at least gets a shot to play every day in practice with the big boys.
