Michigan IMG Open Practice Thread

Submitted by Chicken22 on March 4th, 2016 at 5:05 PM

Same kind of usual thread that there are for games, even though it is a practice. Also, updates would be apreciated because a lot of people, including myself, aren't going.

I understand. My intent was to consolidate as much of the practice video on the thread as possible, since a full practice video very well likely may not become available. Hope the MGoBoard found it helpful.

Drake johnson started 11 on 11 action with nice run up the middle that would have gone the distance
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 4, 2016

Give the line some props for nice blocking on toss sweep to johnson. Would've gone for 20 easily
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 4, 2016

Shane Morris evaded the rush nicely and found Drake johnson on a nice something out of nothing play
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 4, 2016

Shane Morris just fired a laser on a deep dig to darboh. Did nice job with the play fake to open it up
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 4, 2016

Darboh had stribling beat for 6 by 2 steps down the sideline. O'korn hung the ball giving strib the chance to catch up and break up the play
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 4, 2016

O'korn just connected with darboh on 70 yard post. Great play fake. Great deep ball touch. In stride for 6
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 4, 2016

There's mo Hurst in the backfield again almost as soon as the ball was snapped to hurry the qb
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 4, 2016

Maurice Hurst in the backfield almost as soon as the ball was hiked to blow up pass play
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 4, 2016

More Hurst AGAIN. would have sacked speight after play fake were in not for the whistle

First time poster, I've lurked for around five years. I work five miles from IMG and it took me an hour to get in. I just left and there is a line of traffic that will take them at least an hour to get in. Anyways, I ran into Dave Ablauf and he said they were expecting 10K fans. After seeing the current traffic they may eclipse that estimate.

Shane has had the best reps so far, with Speight/O'Korn looking pretty similar. Harbaugh has been quite verbal with O'Korn in particular. Also, Grant Newsome looks HUGE.

I wouldn't be surprised if 25,000 are trying to attend. The stadium and campus simply can't accommodate. I'm looking out of the stadium now and it's complete gridlock. Honestly if you are close, get out and walk the last few miles. Looks like Woodstock out there.

At practice now, there have to be 15,000 people here. Took me an hour to go the last 5 miles to the stadium. The entire town of Bradenton seems to be gridlock. Saw a few recruits and talked to a few about Ann Arbor. Also saw Dylan Moses. He looks VERY athletic.

I also saw a few groups of HS coaches attending. I believe Braden River's staff was sitting next to me. I talked to them about their team and possible recruits. Offered to mentor anyone who was a 4* or above.

Mitchell will break into top group of WRs; Furbush, McCray, Jones and Winovich with the 1s and 1.5s; Newsome looks the part at LT but needs polish on footwork; Kinnel, Pearson and Watson provide depth at DB; Wormley will be a monster this year and Taco looks great. Butt, Bunting and Wheatley are your top TE with Gentry looking a bit thin still. I'll go ahead and Raback O'Korn as your starting QB. Ty Issac looks quicker and Drake is playing fast. Quick hot takes.

We are back

March 4th, 2016 at 7:32 PM ^

My impressions so far:

1. Don't count Morris out yet, he's fighting.
2. For the most part O'Korn's deep ball is off, it might remind you of Rudock.
3.
Hurst is the real deal, he beat Cole a few times.
4. D line seems like it'll be scary good when Mone and Glasgow are back at 100pct.
5. Unlike the poster above me, Mitchell isn't ready, But he is a freshman.
6. Peppers is everywhere! We all knew that though.
7. Although Stribbling has had some hype he bites way too much.
8.Drake Johnson will be the best back on the team.
