This is the right answer. If you are down at #11 or thereabouts, they should have their pick of Bowers, Nabers, Odunze or their top target on the offensive line.
Plus you get an additional late 1st or early 2nd from the trade and you can take Mikey.
He is already worth hundreds of millions on the way to being a billionaire. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Ohtani's financial team (especially if the translator was part of that team) didn't catch it.
Also, him paying off the gambling debt wouldn't surprise me - again, lot of money but $4.5 million to Ohtani is like $450 for a regular person. A lot of people would fork out $500 to help a friend.
Ohtani being the better would surprise me but you never know.
I actually truly believe that both Brian and Seth should be hired as analysts by the football program. Seriously, who has a better grasp of both Michigan and their opponents than these guys?
I am sure there would be a lot of technical knowledge and vocabulary that they would need to learn - but they are both extremely smart people that could pick that up inside a few months.
I believe there is no limit to the number of analysts that a program can hire - so they wouldn't be taking spots away from other folks.
Ha! I accidentally clicked on "Save" before I was finished with my post. I kind of like how you finished it for me - perhaps better than my edit. LOL...
While it was necessary based on the collapse of the team and the players seemingly quitting at certain points late this season, I took no joy at Juwan getting fired - I really wish that it could have worked out as the promise from the first 2-3 years was so immense.
Glad Juwan took the "classy' road and didn't burn bridges on the way out. I met him a couple of times back in the day - he was a friend of a guy who lived across the hall from me on campus. Always seemed like a genuine and friendly guy.
Let's just hope that we can find a coach that can rebuild the program within 2 years and get back on the track that we were on from 2017-2022 when we made 5 straight Sweet 16s.
I am surprised that nobody else has mentioned this but Hunter tried to tell the Michigan admin and fan base that this was going to happen back in 2022 due to lack of NIL for basketball.
That is not to defend Juwan because this has pretty much gone down the route of worst case scenario. However, if we don't get admissions and NIL fixed, our ceiling will be Northwestern (middle of the pack in a bad B1G every couple of years) and that assumes we hire a coach that can function under those circumstances.
Jim Harbaugh was a personal guest of Michelle Obama at the State of the Union in one of his early years at Michigan.
He is a close friend of the Obamas and has worked with Michelle on several initiatives. So I am not sure that he is on a different side of the isle than Sherrone (or if either of them are on any particular side).
I think Harbaugh has strong views on particular subjects and doesn't care which "party" that makes happy as it doesn't fit neatly in the left-right spectrum that has been artificially crafted for the American public. As if all of us are so brain dead that politicians and other political quacks tell us what view we are supposed to have on the various issues.
I sprained my ankle right at my Achilles about three weeks ago. I would say it is about 80% better but I still feel it when I try to run or so anything explosive like jump.

I would say the opposite - maybe they told him to go prove himself and they would bring him back in as a grad transfer.
Either way, seems that he left on good terms. Yet another lesson in life about not burning bridges.
Biscotto / Biscotti also works
When we needed him? How can anyone outside of the program know that. Our coaches may have told him to transfer out to get playing time.
Not saying that is what happened just pointing out that nobody outside of the program could know one way or the other.
Don't forget Michigan State! LOL
Inquiring minds want to know this one!!!
99% of the left / public have never heard of the Koch brothers.
I would say that Musk is much more of a lightening rod (whether deserved or not).

Not that Ginger…
Mary Ann!
Not that Ginger wasn't super hot but seemed like a lot of work - LOL :)
2 players - don't forget Phat Phat Brooks has reconfirmed his commitment.
What about the Japanese soldier from Gilligan's island?
Have the Bucknuts reached that level of ridiculousness yet?
Love the TTB countdown!
Got me on a technicality :) - it was still a good opportunity to mention that Harbaugh went to a Pro Bowl.
I would imagine that a lot of FBs were taken in the 1st round pre-1990.
#3 - you are forgetting about Jim MF Harbaugh (and Jim McMahon)
How do you miss that one? He has been a member since early 2019.
The infamous Wisconsin game where Bench Mason and Jordan Glasgow both played DT was on September 21, 2019.
oh wow.
It is already on Wikipedia for what that’s worth…

Can't be - it would show Clemson and FSU in the B1G.
Andre Carter is a fringe draft prospect as well - he was primarily developed at WMU.
He must have also been the guy who developed Andre Carter as well as Ali Fayed - both good college players and fringe NFL types.
Isn't Steve Casula Italian? I assumed he was.
I haven't seen a Woody Allen movie since I saw Sleeper on Channel 50 when I was a kid.
I don't feel like my life is any poorer for this.
LFG!!!! I can't believe OSU is the best team in the country - we need to end that.
That was also true before the mass transfer era.
Would love to see Roman Wilson in Honolulu Blue next year, think he would be a perfect complement for Amon Ra, Laporta and Jamo.
Don…
They needed a fall guy.
Don’t forget where Chris Carter came from!
And he was / is a good recruiter too.

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant to say first DT picked.

Disagree on Graham - there are rumblings he would have been the first pick in 2024.
A good year will kick him into the 1st round.
Have to imagine this is the beginning of the end for the ACC.
Nope - he was a target under Beilein but committed to Juwan.
Famously, Beilein quit the day before his official visit.
To say that none of Juwan's recruits have done anything is a gross exaggeration. Hunter and Kobe were great recruits / players.
Franz was also Juwan recruit and development - albeit he was handed to Juwan on a silver platter.
Lots of other guys are Houstan, Diabate and Jett are on NBA rosters.
He was the best player in the 1994 NCAA tournament - bar none.

I would liken Julian Fleming to a shitty Cornelius Johnson.
Good call. Dusty May (FAU) and Kyle Smith are the best two candidates IMHO.
Do you think the lack of athleticism is due to his injury history or was he just a whiff by the recruiting analysts?
Mark Antony was the brains behind the operation. He should have been given the reigns after.
Augustus was a nepo baby.
kidding…
To be fair, the MSU AD was right about player safety.
The Michigan game broke their mental health.
Knowing that your rival could have beaten you 78-0 but took pity on your soul can’t be good for your football psyche.

Tim Biakabatuka and Jamie Morris might have something to say about it too.
That 1995 OSU game will always be one of my favorites...
If you watch cable news or listen to political radio - you are told over and over again what you are supposed to believe.
Unfortunately, I would guess that 70% of the general public follow the party lines hook, line and sinker.

I wonder if anyone would opt-out of the 3rd place game.

340?
