Drake Harris tweet
saw some people wondering if Drake Harris is the other guy who is going to take a medical hardship and it appears it won't be him. i saw this tweet from his account a few days ago.
@michganfan I feel great, ran a 4.44 today in our testing and thanks I appreciate it!

Hopefully he added some bulk in the weight room and still has that speed. Also, hopefully he has a plan to manage his hamstrings now too so they're not a continuing issue.
A poster on Scout said in a recent photo of Drake, he is ripped.
Also, Drake's twitter profile picture supports this.
That's def good news. We need him badly this year if he's a go health-wise.
Congrats on being the first to use Harbaugh's "4 seconds" photo as your profile picture. Instant classic.
Drake might be ripped, but I hate his music.
I'll wait until he does it against good competition.. Playing in gr the teams are garbage. Still don't think this kid will finish his career here. I'll be shocked if he plays injury free ever
Word on the street is he is up to 185, look out for Drake Harris this fall.
Regardless of what did or didnt happen to Pipkins, we need options at WR. A fast Drake Harris helps our offense.
Thought it was Larry David, especially the ending.
You weren't the only one.
Me Too!
If Drake Harris is finally healthy then that is a very good thing for UM. Based off of his skillset, WR's on the team, and numbers when healthy, Harris could make an impact right away.
Thats great news. Wide Reciever is a big question mark.
I do think that he is the other player that Pipkins is referring to in that article. I think they approached him for a medical (this has been mentioned by multiple outlets) and he told them he thinks he can get his health sorted out. They're allowing him the chance to be healthy by July 1st. He could be a difference maker for us this fall if he's healthy and can STAY healthy.
Where are these rumors coming from that it's Chris Fox?
One comment down bruh
There have been Fox rumors for over a year now.
that Drake doesn't have a history of concussions AFAIK. I think that was a big factor in Pip's case.
I think Pipkin's arthritis in his knees also played a role.
It's a hammy, that thing could pop any second. Those things never seem to heal quite right. Here's hoping all the time off has gotten him 100% though. My own experience with hammys is comical: I once severely pulled both hammys on consecutive snaps rushing the QB in a corporate league flag football game. Pulled up lame when my right hammy popped, but had to stay in because we had no subs. I stayed in the game as a hobbled, super slow pash rusher just attempting to bat the ball down at the line (I'm 6'4). Literally the next snap my left one goes. So embarrassing..could barely walk away from the game.
I pulled both of mine right after college and would occassionally pull them for years. Took like 10 years before I felt like they were solid. I'm sure UofM's medical staff can get Drake right faster than that, but I think it is one of those things that just needs time.
I thought Chris Fox was the assumed medical?

He has been injured his entire time at Michigan
He's going to be a difference maker this season!
It's all ESPN trying to hurt Harbaugh's image. The man is giving nightmares to the SEC and we know how much ESPN kidding their ass. It will not effect anything. Just bad publicity, I'll give it 12 hours before we get another commit. Hello Mr. Bush

Hopefully we can say Hello Rashan Gary as well.
Stop with the conspiracy theories.
ESPN has been giving Michigan tons of publicity this off-season. I suspect that they probably have an SEC bias in large part due to them being the dominant conference in the 21st century (thus far), but a former 5* recruit saying he is being pressure into a medical by the most talked about coach in the country is big news.
Whether Harbaugh is doing Pipkins wrong or not, it's frontpage news on a day when the only other things going on are NBA Draft reviews, NFL Training Camp Previews, and Misc Baseball games.
it's not too much but I notice it big-time on their scroll whenever a recruit verbals or player transfers. Watch when it says "recruit" or it's a UM player transferring in an "NCAAF/B". They always downplay it or add unnecessary wording to transfer news. With Battle, half the scroll about it was emphasizing how little time he'd been committed to UM. When Countess left they used a bunch of unnecessary stuff about how many had left since Harbaugh was hired, his accolades, etc. They made it sound like a bad breakup. I don't see all the extra B.S. with other school's circumstances unless it's truly scandalous.
You also don't pay much attention to other schools' news. Neither do any of us.
Also, fact of psychology: We tend to notice things that confirm what we already believe and interpret events the same way. It's called confirmation bias.
In fact, it's not that at all.
any and all playmakers. Hopefully Drake can help provide us some speed on the outside and some big plays.
has Johnson been fully cleared?
Drake Johnson is too good. He may be the starting RB this season.
He was the only reason Michigan was even competitive in the final game of 2014. We saw what happened once he went down.
for injury. It seems like it just a matter of time before they end of permanantly injure themselves. I know Drake is a good player however he has problems in both knees which is bad.
best running back at all points when (1) he was on the field and (2) his ACLs were cooperating.
I have absolutely loved to watch this guy tote the rock--his acceleration and decisiveness turned an otherwise stagnant running game into a tremendous strength. I think the Ohio State game would have gone differently had his ACL hung in there for all 4 quarters.
I confess I, too, feared that Pipkins was speaking of Drake Johnson.
Bring it, Drake!
Except for his two major knee injuries.
Drake is all 170lbs. I don't see him contributing much. He's a bust and he needs to be gone too. He can't stay healthy and this is big time football, we've been honorable and what's it got us? Behind the times and our butts kicked. We neet to get aboard with some of these decisions or get use to being a bad team with a high moral compass.
Let's just see what he does this fall before making any judgements. Especially judgements without very complete information.
You stink.
Dummmb duh dumb dumb DUMMMMMBBBB
"needs to be gone too"?? What a terrible thing to say about a talented young man who done nothing but work hard, overcome injuries and stay academically eligible at our fine institution. I would tell you to "Go fuck yourself" but that's not proper etiquette for this board. So have a nice day.
Is, "I would tell you to go fuck yourself." The equivalent to, "with all due respect"? If so, I'm going to start using it all the time. Thanks.
It's a great way to slip pejoratives and ad hominem attacks past troglodytes and half-wits. It also has the effect of disarming slower PC disciples.
I fully condone its use in public discourse.
Is mgoblog
I love you.
He could easily be 200lbs by junior year and be a complete stud. Yes he is too skinny, but that doesn't mean he is a bust especially since he is still a FRESHMAN. Give him time.
have been skinny guys but were also wiry, guys like that are a lot stronger than they look, we just need Drake Harris to have a chance at finally being healthy to see what he could really do on the field.
I'm still cheering for him to have a spectacular career for the good guys!!!
