I think the starting lineup…

I think the starting lineup is better with TWill than Houstan.  His energy and defense, and shooting is probably equivalent.

Depth takes a hit, but if they can get someone in the portal for depth, they might be better off.

I'm pretty sure Baldwin can come back as well.

Brian - I love your site, your writing, and how you've built how I analyze Michigan sports.  Good luck and stay well.

For a website that posts about Michigan sports content, the writers sure make me not want to read about Michigan football.
 

I understand things aren’t great but this did not need to be written.

This guy is the worst. He wrote an article about transfers being an issue for Harbaugh, and then listed two Big Ten schools with more and other schools in the country with more.

Does this effect a redshirt for football?  Can you redshirt in one sport while playing in another?

Did anyone else notice #23 taking on a block instead of trying to tackle Mason?

Just weak on his part.

DC

I don't think he will be DC at the Pats.  Sounds like that would be Brian Flores and Schiano would have another job.

Spring Practice

Missing spring practice really hurts him.  He must not be getting much interest, or at least from schools he would be interested in.  He sat out the Bowl game so we could be at his new school.

Friday

What about Tyler Friday?  Thought UofM had a good chance with him.

Yes

Nick Baumgarder reported on twitter he will stay with the team through the Bowl game.

Aren't all official visits

Aren't all official visits the same length?  The school has so many allowable hours, etc with a recruit.

Reason for panic could be McCaffrey passing him.

Me too

Last two roundtables have not been available in iTunes.

She made a great point that Brian agreed with, and was giving her credit for it.

Makes sense.

Some help would be appreciated on how to watch.

Kugler

On the Michigan Football snapchat, they were showing the team warming up before the scrimmage today. They showed the OL and it looked like Kugler pulling from LG with the ones. The centre was Cole, Kali's RG and Magnuson RT. Couldn't figure out who the LT was but didn't look like Newsome.

I would say Newsome is out of

I would say Newsome is out of the lineup, if Bredeson starts at LT.

I'd go

I'd go Newsome-Bredson-Kugler-Onwenu-Cole

Higdon

Anything on Higdon? I haven't heard anything about him all spring. Thought he might get some run after the burned redshirt last year.

Isaac

Just throw the pass to Isaac, the defender backed up 10 yards.

It looks like Texas Tech vs

It looks like Texas Tech vs Oregon.

Inner-Outer

Inner-Outer seems to be the best solution.  In East/West, I feel the West is too weak, Penn State helps the strength of that side in the Outer division.

Scholarship Reductions

I'm not sure the kids committing have considered what the team will be like in a couple years once the scholarship reductions have started.  Even if they get 15 "5/4 star" kids, a number of them won't pan out and they will not be deep at all.  They will struggle.

With his size, would be a

With his size, would be a perfect SLB.

I would let them visit, but

I would let them visit, but know that we are already full on OL.  If someone decommits then there would be a spot available.  You don't want what happened with Stacey, and have no one you want to fill that spot.

Toronto

I live in Toronto and I doubt the Leafs would be the opponent.  This would not give NBC 2 large markets in the U.S. to have a good rating. 

It would help to fill up the Big House for the game, but it doesn't make sense for NBC.

Out of bounds

I thought he landed out of bounds, thus not a catch.  I thought that was why they were reviewing it, and I still don't see how he would have been ruled in bounds.  His shoulder landed out.

Hoke does NOT have the same

Hoke does NOT have the same policy.  He keeps the offer with the kid, just no longer considers them a commit.  A BIG difference.

Parity

I just think that there is more parity and the less talented teams use systems to help them compete.

Justin Blackmon

How is Justin Blackmon not a WR on the 1st or 2nd team???

Banged Up

I had heard he was banged up before the game, but I didn't realize he would be out.  I assumed banged up meant hurt, not injured.

With so little time left on

With so little time left on the clock it was the best play to make.  There is a much better chance of a return going all the way, then Michigan going all the way down the field with passes.  It was definitely the correct move.

Rogers Super Sports Pack

What channel in the Super sports pack is it being shown on?

Canada

Please do let us know.  I live in Canada as well, and have been trying to find a way to watch this game.

Holder

Regarding Free safety/Strong Safety, I thought it was explained in the spring that Mattison sort of reverses the roles.  Strong Safety in his system plays more like a free safety as we know it, and free safety in his systems plays more like a strong saftery; but in the end they are kind of interchangable.

Wasn't Dileo the holder last year for XP's and FG?  I thought it was interesting the Gallon is now the holder accoriding to Angelique Chengelis ..

Thanks Tom

Thank you for all the work Tom.  You will be missed.

Concussions

SteelCity, you are making this too personal about your team, and I think that is the issue for most people.

The NFL has a concussion problem and has to do something about these hits.  This issue is not going to go away and the NFL was going to have a huge issue with the government if they didn't start to at least look like they were trying to prevent it.

The concussion problem is a real issue and needs to be addressed.

Tweet from this morning

Retweeted by chengelis - According to the Columbus Dispatch, OSU has reported 375 violations to the NCAA since 2000, more than any other FBS team .

 

Brandon Graham

He reminds me of Brandon Graham, and already being 230, I could see him growing into a DE like him.  In most of the vieo he's coming off the edge and getting tackles for a loss like Graham in his last couple years.

9-3

Western Mich W

ND L

Eastern Mich W

SDSU W

Minnesota W

at NU W

at Mich State W


Purdue W

at Iowa W

at Illinois W

Nebraska L

Ohio State L

 

I'm saying 9-3 and the Notre Dame and Nebraska could be wins.

I don't think Iowa, Illinois and Little Brother will be better.

True Freshman

I know we have started a number of them the last couple of years, but we should almost be at the point where we are not counting on any to start.  Maybe 1 comes through and surprises, but we should not count on any to be starters.

Coach Rod I will miss you and

Coach Rod I will miss you and will cheer for you wherever you end up.  Great coach, great man.

Redshirt

Is it possible they could be trying to get a Redshirt for Gibbons?
