Michigan freshmen football players told to report on June 15th, according to Detroit Free Press
Sounds like they are bringing at least football students in on June 15th, probably related to the stay at home order getting looser recently in Michigan. Another good sign football may be happening this year. Let's hope everyone stays safe.
‘Social distancing guidelines are still in effect, which means any players who don't live together must stay 6 feet apart at all times.” - I can see how this works for condItioning, but a bit complicated for much else.
Good thing we run a spread offense.
For this comment alone, you should receive enough points to break even.
Well done.
Speed and at least Six Feet of Space!
Just have the whole team live in one large room. Problem solved.
Kentucky luxury B-Ball dorms were ahead of the curve.
I'm really interested to see if schools can properly handle COVID-19 once all of these kids come back and start working out, but they might as well start earlier rather than later if the end goal is football in the fall.
that's assuming there's anything to handle
You think the current uptick in confirmed cases is going anywhere?
Speaking of freshman football players, shouldn't the recruiting features be happening (starting soon) on this site? I've always found those useful because I don't spend much time reading in depth on recruits during the recruiting process. Sure, I follow on a broad overview type view but there are so many nuances now with player evaluations and rankings. It's helpful summer reading so I have a better understanding who these guys are in the fall.
Giggity, giggity!!
LFG!
Weird feeling to be hopeful that football happens but also not wanting any of our coaches, players, support staff or their families to pay a price for it. Guess all we can do is take it a day at a time, but this does seem like good news for sure.
Full contact sport so I hope other Universities are as prepared.

This is correct. The process is basically:
1. Report/Get tested
2. Quarantine in room for 2-3 days until results of test
3. Training starts in groups of 20. 5 athletes per coach.
4. Showering in the locker room is permitted, but trying to put an emphasis on getting in and out quickly.
5. No cafeteria, it's all ready made food to grab and go.
18-19 year old men are some of the lowest risk people. None of our coaches are high risk category. Take their temps, after 2 weeks isolated on campus it's game on.
I'll be diablo's advocate... just because they clear after two weeks doesn't mean they don't come into contact with surfaces that have been touched by staffers at the University. Hell they could be out grabbing food or something...
Hopefully the rest of the team is returning to workouts now that the stay at home order is lifted as Ohio State is returning June 8th.
Totally irresponsible.
Yes, how dare consenting and willing adults voluntarily decide to head back to campus to pursue their dream. Despicable if you ask me.
Poor attempt at sarcasm i guess. I'm happy to get back to some normalcy. This country is losing it's mind.
Some people. Not all.
I didn’t realize going to college and playing football was mandatory?
So.... cancel college because some are afraid to go? Seriously what is the logical conclusion of your argument?
it also says voluntary workouts in the freep article...I would guess with Harbaugh if a kid says 'I don't feel comfortable taking a risk of covid infection', they simply don't report.
It's their life and their family. Stop projecting if you don't like the risks.
Toe meets leather at 1:05. If you want to be there, fine. If you don’t, that’s fine too.
Progress as expected
Slight correction. They can't be told...it's 100% voluntary.
And it's not like the wink wink voluntary either. Coaches can't have contact and some kids around the country won't report because their home situation is better and they have what they need at home.
It's really for the kids who need to get back on campus, get proper nutrition and workout equipment, etc. - most will return because who wants to be home with their parents? But this isn't even like capitans practice or your normal voluntary workouts.
C'mon bruh... stop with the flowery language... you gotta connect the dots for these people.
In other words.......
Those that have the initiative and want to better themselves, will return voluntarily.
god damn right
We should have more statistics that follow the opening of states. Best hope is there will be little uptick. It is relieving to my eyes just reading the news.
Bringing them on campus might also be a tactic to get them here, get them in classes, so they are more or less "committed" or "stuck" here in case football doesn't happen. If all of the recruits stayed home, it would very easy for them to look to go else where when football does resume.
LOL... ya know, despite my recent dislike of Harbaugh because well...SCOREBOARD...
I've gained a little respect for him today!
