Media Day open thread
Some big notes coming out in the first couple minutes including:
Tamani Carter has left the team
Fitz and Frank Clark will begin practicing monday, but paying a heavy price and will continue to do so. (Availability for Bama still undecided)
Roundtree had arthroscopic knee surgery and will be out ~2 weeks
edit:
Roy Roundtree injured knee Wednesday, had surgery Friday. Hecklinski said best case scenario is he doesn't miss Alabama.

will give the coaches a great look at the Frosh WR's and they'll get a lot of reps, so that is a positive. Downside-they will almost certainly have to play and play well against BAMA.

It wasn't one thing that happened, he just needed to get it cleaned up. I would link it, but it was a $ article on Rivals.

WHAT??????
Oh this is not good. This is not good. The receivers will be Gallon, Dileo and.......?

If it really is 2 weeks he will be back for Bama. We dont need people freaking out yet. It is not like he tore his ACL. These types of surgeries are minimally invasive these days and he will be fine. As others have mentioned, this means more reps for the guys who need them
August 12th, 2012 at 1:29 PM ^
So you really still think Roundtree is going to get #1? Even though this is his senior year, and he isn't wearing it?

Sounds like Q-Wash, and Richard Ash are getting a decent amount of praise. Yes? Maybe? Puhleez have a Dline. (Tremendous)
Also Bolden is getting praise despite Hoke not mentioning freshmen but "he doesn't really count" (Chantel Jennings)
August 12th, 2012 at 11:51 AM ^
I hope QWash is actually having a good camp, which would be opposite of the video yesterday. He struggled a little bit from what I could see. Obviously it is only one clip, so I'm not putting a lot of stock in it. I hope this isn't just a motivational tool by Hoke for them to pick it up!

Marshall Faulk once had his knee scoped in the middle of a season, and only missed one week. Its possible.

The number 5s are now hooked at the middle terminal, like Iowa's if you're not sure what I mean. Confirmed it by looking at Mealer's sleeve digits as well. Maybe it's something only the designers or typography junkies can appreciate or care about, but that's no minor aesthetic change AFAIC. And no, I for one don't necessarily care for it.

Hard to even notice when pads are on
August 12th, 2012 at 1:06 PM ^
I've thought this for about a week or so, but does anyone else get the feeling that F. Clark and F. Touissant are going to play this Alabama game? This is based on nothing, just a personal opinion/hunch. I'm thinking mayyyybe they don't start but they see significant playing time (i.e. enough PT to vie for a win).
How does/would the many board members feel about this situation if played out in the way I "suspect"?
August 12th, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
This hasn't been beaten to death enough for you? How we feel about it is irrelavent, anyway.
August 12th, 2012 at 1:09 PM ^
I could see Touissant playing, but Clark seems like it would be very un hoke like unless its a situation where the charges don't fit the crime

Do you know what section for qb's? parents are there trying for grandson and are confused lol
August 12th, 2012 at 1:40 PM ^
August 12th, 2012 at 1:47 PM ^
Fastest line for fastest player I guess. Just hope most of these autographs go to kids or people who put them up in their house not ebay.
August 12th, 2012 at 1:22 PM ^
Dendard is in 36...told parents that and they didn't listen and missed out for a fourth straight year. Sucks that I am likely going to have to buy a Denard autograph for my son but oh well.
August 12th, 2012 at 1:48 PM ^
August 12th, 2012 at 1:55 PM ^
Guess that adds to the poster who said he would be WR full-time by B1G season
August 12th, 2012 at 2:50 PM ^
but I get the vibe that Hoke is handling this like a Lloyd Carr-Adrian Arrington situation. First mistake= learn from it and suffer some consequences of the physical variety to prove that you are committed to the University of Michigan and THE TEAM.
August 13th, 2012 at 3:22 AM ^
Glad I don't have to worry about how this is being handled with Coach Hoke in charge.
