Yep, I can see the Long Island kid winding up closer to home in Syracuse. I hope he crushes it as a starter there. Good luck to you, young man!

I know Villari needed to transfer if he ever wanted to see meaningful snaps, but Syracuse is getting a good one, their gain is our loss.
Looking forward to seeing a Syracuse game or two on TV in the next couple years to watch him in action.

Wasn't he originally committed to Syracuse before we grabbed him last minute? What a deal for Cuse to get him after two years here and he still has 4 years left he can play. I wonder if the cards will line up for him to start right away or if he'll need a year or two to ascend.

Unless he was committed to Syracuse in a different sport, no. He didn’t even have an offer from Syracuse football. He was committed to Fordham until late November. Michigan swooped in just before early signing day and got the commit.
His best offers after Michigan were Buffalo and UMass.

He'll ascend up The Hill for classes, if nothing else. Good news for my hometown team and second alma mater.
January 11th, 2022 at 9:37 PM ^
Good luck to them both. I do wonder if DGW finds his footing at Nevada; he's not the fastest corner but he played good competition in CA coming out of HS and could still be successful. Also, I'd have been disappointed if Villari hadn't wound up in Syracuse.

Dan’s podcast was great. To bad it needed so soon.
January 12th, 2022 at 8:53 AM ^
Syracuse makes sense for Dan for two reasons.
1. He gets a chance to play FBS football closer to home.
2. Syracuse has a highly regarded journalism program.
He'll be able to hone his on-field and on-air skills there.
January 11th, 2022 at 9:57 PM ^
Nevada will be a great spot for Green-Warren, Oregon's old co-DC is the new head coach there and he'll be lining up against the MWC passing attacks. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out.
Although as a Nevada Native the hashtag on his announcement should have been #HomemeansNevada for the state song.
January 11th, 2022 at 11:47 PM ^
He'll learn soon enough. Interested to see if Wilson's results are closer to Polian or Norvell.
January 11th, 2022 at 10:13 PM ^
Syracuse: watching bad weather football in shorts & t-shirts.
Go, Fighting Door Hinge!
Nevada: make your bets in person.
Go, the Bettor Team!

Thanks -- I didn't have the energy to click on the embedded links. I knew that if I scrolled down far enough SOMEONE would tell me that Dan Villari is going to Syracuse and DGW is going to UNLV. I think.
January 11th, 2022 at 10:37 PM ^
Good luck to both young men. Really appreciate their contribution to Michigan football and wish them the best.
January 11th, 2022 at 10:44 PM ^
Sounds like the right level for them, good luck guys.
January 11th, 2022 at 10:51 PM ^
Best of luck to both of them, hopefully their moves pay off and the lessons they learned from the staff help them going forward.
January 11th, 2022 at 11:16 PM ^
Dan Villari is going to set records at Syracuse. Just y’all wait.
January 12th, 2022 at 12:58 AM ^
We all hope he does!

Darion Green-Warren following Harbaugh huh?
Ducks for cover.
January 12th, 2022 at 8:06 AM ^
Harbaugh going to manage the Reno Aces?
January 12th, 2022 at 8:08 AM ^
::loads up some steel shot for waterfowl::
January 11th, 2022 at 11:57 PM ^
Go do your thing boys. Congrats
January 12th, 2022 at 1:14 AM ^
Good luck, lads! Hopefully they make some special memories on the field.
January 12th, 2022 at 8:15 AM ^
I think they've both found their level and wish them success! They'll bring some awesome stories and leadership potential to their new teams from the top level coaching they had at Michigan. Even as depth players, they got time with really talented coaches and teammates.
I know for a fact Harbaugh worked with Villari during the 4th qtr at Maryland because I saw it. He was going through throwing mechanics on the sideline - and then coaches called pass plays so Villari could work on what was just taught!
Garbage time in a serious road blowout and Jim MF'in Harbaugh was personally coaching 4th string bench players. Does Kirby Smart do that? Frames Janklin? Nick Satan? B1G CoY Mel Tucker?
Good luck boys, I'm looking forward to hearing your names again!
January 12th, 2022 at 8:54 AM ^
AWESOME!!

Pretty good for Villari to land with a Power 5 school. Either Harbaugh found something in him that no one else did while he was in high school, or coached him up to the point where he can be viable as an ACC QB. Either way, it is a positive indication for Harbaugh (and the rest of the coaching staff). To do it in a year when he had two other high-caliber QBs to manage is even more impressive.
