Michigan possibly adding 2 WR's (Grad Transfers)?
It looks like Jimmy isn't done adding to the roster.

Michigan has now added three grad-transfers for 2015, and we hear there will likely be more. Probably a wide receiver.

It is more like two WR's according to him on Rivals.
Thank you, baby Jesus.
His name is Jim.
Cant tell you how many times Ive looked at one of those guys and wanted to kick him in the nuts.
Was that punny on purpose, or just a coiencidence?
Devin Lucien?
Was the obvious one from about a week or so ago. Any idea who the 2nd would be? After the Spring Game, we need all hands on deck!
He was a high 3 star recruit with some decent offers. He's a 6'4'' receiver that won't be coming back to USC (NTUSC).
Can you phrase that in the form of a gif?
I thought he was at Wake Forest now.

He told Mora he wanted to stay close to home. I doubt he comes to Michigan.

That was discussed in a thread on Rivals.
We're actually just annexing their campus.
The University of Michigan-Bay Area.

I dropped Engineering because that bus ride sucked so bad.

False. Tour guides / information sessions never even mentioned that there was a North Campus to an out-of-state-LSA-student-Me when I visited. Only thing I'm bitter at Michigan for.
Late August E-Mail: Welcome to your new home at Baits II!!!
Me: Awesome, a cool dorm where I get to live all by myself! Let's check it out... oh it's on this "North Campus" place. Where is that? Oh, it's only a 15 minute bus ride from campus. Add in the waiting, it's only about 30 minutes each way to commute to class. So at least an hour a day wasted sitting in the freezing cold (this was pre-bus shelters) to get on a bus to take me to my sad place.
Literally. Lived. By. Myself. My window was below ground. My room smelled of mold and sorrow. I had a 15 minute trek to Bursley 2-3x a day in sub-20 degree weather (or wait for a bus) for four months, just to eat at the 4th best caf on campus.
Oh, and I pledged. Good fucking luck getting to a line-up after buses have stopped. Or a clean up.

Sorry I couldnt resist. But its kind of the opposite "in play" so its not entirely a retread.

ordered. I knew Jimmy wanted to win fast. I think it's going to be a helluva year.
I thought WR may have been our weakest position, even worse than QB.
Not sure who negged you, or what spring game they watched, but the WRs were ROUGH. As bad as the QBs may have been, the WRs didn't help them out much at all.

When you have great hair and a great accent you could wear jean shorts and still get away with it. Damnit.
So.... you're saying I shouldn't be wearing jorts right now?
Well...let's hope these don't come back. This was never a good look for a man. (Actually both now that I think of it)
I can only hope the old guy tossed his confused son/grandson/NAMBLA partner into the void below.
I like his style :S
gotta make room for the Uggs
The fact that Hoke's staff didn't add transfers like this just speaks further to the incompetence that was displayed. These are no-brainer moves.
*Although I will give them credit for taking Isaac, but that's, like, duh.
Hoke: "Hey, do you want to come play your final year for me?"
Grad transfer: *eyeroll*
Harbaugh: "Hey, do you want to come play your final year for me?"
Grad transfer: *swoon*
I am trying to find more than one available. The only one that comes to mind is Devin Lucien from UCLA (6' , averaged less than 8 ypc last year), but I'm sure the staff knows of more. I am not sure what regulations exist on persuading a kid to transfer if he has not yet asked for the release on his own, although I'm sure regulations exist.
Lucien seems to have been well liked by UCLA fans, even though his production dipped from 2013 to 2014. He could definitely push/contribute at the slot here. I am not sure how his speed compares to Cole or Canteen, and he has to play catch up on the playbook, but he has a ton more game reps against the big boys than any slot receiver on our current roster.
Those two programs have 5th yr WR's, but I don't see either of them helping.
And it looks like Lucien wants to stay close to his mom out west. So...not sure what direction this hunt will take.
Maybe they are after a couple of JUCO's?
