No surprise there.
Best of luck!
U of M doesn't seem to do well with RoJos.
Michigan did very well with RoJo. People keep trying to replace the original - pure karma.
Edit: Ugh, sounds bad. This is not a slam at any of the young men who have committed and been named Ron Johnson, only the people that insist on using RoJo if said player has been within 50 miles of Ann Arbor. 51 years later this record stands - this is RoJo, RIP.
Kinda expected. Best of luck to him.
Walk-on RB Julian Garrett is also in the portal. That happened about a week or so ago. He was the third string RB in the spring game.
Tells you a greet deal about the depth of the RB position that I am a little freaked out by a walk-on I've never heard of leaving. Need bodies there badly.
Actually, if a walk-on is looking to transfer, doesn't that tell you the opposite of what you are suggesting. I know that with injuries keeping a lot of guys out of spring practice, depth isn't where we'd like it to be, but if it were that bad, he wouldn't need to seek transfer to get an opportunity to play..
I absolutely hope you are correct!
Username checks out
Lol, that's funny. ?
Air it out baby!
I never realized walk-ons needed to be in the portal. I don't understand the logic there. Education isn't being paid for, why would they need to go through any process? Just change schools and walk on to the new school's team.
You go into the portal to invite other schools to contact you. That's a boon for walk-ons who might not get noticed easily.
Walk-ons at Michigan can get offered scholarships by other schools when they transfer. I don't think Andrew Dakich was the only one.
So...being a walk-on is kind of like being on an NFL practice squad? Without the scholarship, can they transfer without sitting out a year? What if they had PT the previous year?
Yes, beginning with the 2019 season, walk-ons who transfer have immediate eligibility.
Is it over yet? You asked over under on 3 a few weeks ago.
so we've got Turner, Wilson, Charbonnet and then....crickets? Any updates on Evans or still same as it was in the winter? Not that there's anything wrong with those guys - Turner has a lot of promise, Wilson's a great pass protector and smart runner, and TBD on Charbonnet but he looks terrific. That said, sounds like we're an injury away from a 2 RB rotation.
My guess is either/or of Van Sumeren or Mason would get some run at RB. Van Sumeren probably will anyways as a short yardage back.
And Haskins. He may be the only one, but Isaiah Hole at WolverinesWire has been pushing Haskins as the most natural/talented RB on the roster. (I think this was from his insider before ZC was on the roster fwiw)
Isn't he practicing at Viper?
was garrett the one who ran up ruiz/owenu's rear end on the goal-line RPO when all he had to do was slide right and have lots of room to get into the end zone.
Third and goal, it sure was. Stuffed pretty bad on that play.
i think this is the play, RPO with a TE wham block. as he gets to the line he only has to shuffle right and have a running start into a safety trying to fill a 6 yd wide gap. instead, he runs into owenu's hind end and the play ends.
Is there any chance that Chris Evans can get reinstated before the Fall?
Yes. He will be. Source = me ??♂️
believe me if u want, but yes he’ll be back this fall.
In my opinion of course ;)

You might as well suspend your account now. :)
interesting that mineral king starts posting right about exactly the time that 1201 gets tubed....
coincidence?
Wait! 1201 is Shea???
You nailed it. Multiple accounts and personalities.
This portal is really turning into a win-win-win. A player who doesn’t work out for whatever reason but still wants to play gets a chance to try elsewhere. A team needing players at one position or another has one stop shopping. And the team that originally recruited the guy clears his scholarship for a new recruit while minimizing hard feelings. When everyone seemingly benefits, it is surprising it took this long to establish it.
I think in this case, there will be no freed up scholarship. He was entering his fourth year and most likely wasn't going to get the 5th year from Harbaugh.
It's a freed up scholarship if Michigan is looking at taking a transfer. Or it could guarantee a scholarship to a walk-on who has earned one.
Yeah, I thought I was super smart once I posted that comment, but quickly realized that it could go to a transfer or current walk-on. I was hoping no one would catch that.
Thanks, jerk!!!
No kidding. Aren't there any running backs in there for us to pick up in the express checkout lane?
Did you ever do the bare-chested Putin?
Yeah, you would think that some good RB would want to port themselves to Michigan, given they may get some playing time.
I agree re: the portal benefiting all parties so far. It should improve parity somewhat if guys are using it primarily to find playing time. I do have concerns about how quickly it would be abused if transfers no longer have to sit out a year. Teams loaded with talent would have incentive to "cull" the bottom third or so of their roster into the portal every year so they have more darts to throw at.... landing more elite talent.
"When everyone seemingly benefits, it is surprising it took this long to establish it." Quite to the contrary, I'm surprised it happened at all since it doesn't solely benefit the NCAA.
No surprise, was he ever a threat to get snaps here?
Quote from his recruiting profile back in the 2016 class:
In 2018 and beyond he could be anything from a ghost to Clark 2.0. Your guess will suffice.
Never liked Ron Johnson. That slick stereo salesman got to nail Stacy before me. Good riddance...
Yeah, well you got to knock her up.
Not sure what you were thinking Mike, but you should have knocked up Stacy's friend Linda instead.
YES!!!!

Anyone on this site under the age of 30 is probably wondering what the hell we are talking about... haha I love it.
Every time I see Phoebe get out of the pool like that, Moving in Stereo runs through my head...
Lol, me too...sadly
He thought about it....no wait, that was Brad.......Brad thought about it.
Jesus, doesn't anybody ever fucking knock anymore?
