Wallace will be drafted and if by chance he isnt he will be a priority FA. His PFF score was great and he showed out pretty well against the 3 best WR units we faced.
Also he was ranked the 2nd best defender PFF ranked on our 2023 defense.
He will get touches if Williams gets hurt but I dont see a 50/50 share at all. Hoping Blake gets touches but I wanted him to go to a place he could be the primary back.
That sucks for Blake, Kyren is a stud RB so I dont see him getting many touches unless Kyren gets hurt. But also depends on what some people think significant touches is? To me 15 a game is in the range. I am hoping Blake becomes the #1 back though.
Nubin considered best safety will or should be gone as well as Cooper and Newton. Also we have no 3rd or 4th rd pick. Jones in the 3rd round WTF? He is looked at as a 6th rd at earliest or a UDFA. Bro no offense I admire the effort but do some research on where we pick and where most guys are expected to go
We dont need a QB, we have Hendon Hooker, also Safety pick will be fir depth as our Secondary is set foe the starters. Dont waste a pick on a kicker unless it is the best in the draft but still that is iffy imo. They are UDFA.
I am sure he is going to get the best people possible which might lead to someone leaving but he isnt going to force a player out. Sure he has spoken with Jace about becoming a walkon.
That is an absurd comment about them not being on the team. First of May wouldnt do that and 2nd if any coach did that you know how shitty that would look and how bad that would hurt us in the long run with recruits or transfers.
First off when you enter the portal you dont lose your scholarship and can return to school anytime. Now it may not be good for some players as certain coaches might hold a grudge and football is a little different when it comes to walk ons. Also last I knew scholarships are based off conference rules. Big18 is when you sign as a freshman you get 4 years of play and 5 years if you redshirt, transfers get what ever they come in as to graduate or 1 extra year if they choose to have a redshirt year. If they come in as a Junior they get 2 years. Grads get one year or however many playable years they have left, depending if they have had injuries. SEC which could have changed was on a year to year basis. Might have changed but that was a couple years ago last I knew.
Tre, Gayle and Jones are going to be playing 30 minutes a night on most nights. Phat Phat will most likely redshirt along with Cason. Pippen will be the freshman to get the most minutes due to his high upside. Also Jones will play PG quite a bit like he did for North Texas but this offense isnt going to use its pg like Dug was used.
Walters is? As far as I been told, no formal practice or depth chart has been made up. So far only 3 starting positions are locked up. Tre, Gayle and VG.
Will T. will get some run as long as he shoots it like last year and has improvement everywhere else. He isnt some scrub like many on here are acting like he is. In case u havent been following Will has been the leader of the few that were left and a person Dusty already trusts. Not sure if you been around campus or the team but those are the whispers coming out of the BBall program. Most likely he will be one of the captians of the team this fall
If that is the reason why wouldn't he have transferred when they all left or much sooner instead of after the spring game? To me it was some team saw him play in the spring game and liked what they saw, sees the potential and offered him $$$$$$$$.
He gets a new car and $25000 in cash from the new school
Ben Wallace went from a small school to the NBA and turned out to be a pretty good rebounder. Rebounding is one of the easiest skill to predict on all levels. Jaren Jackson is athletic and block shots yet he is a shitty rebounder.
From everything said Wolf is not going to be playing PF. Unless May changes up what he had always done. If other lineups play 2 seven footers then May may go with Goldin and Wolf but most likely Wolf will be mainly backing up the 5. Especially now we have a 6 foot 10 power forward. Will if he shoots like last year will get about 15-20 mins a game. May likes to play smaller but in the Big Ten he might have to go a little bigger depending on matchups. Will is the captain of the team also.
Bell is 6 feet 3 they say and we do have the freshman coming in. But yes 1 big WR would be great but getting more then 1 WR in the portal will be tough unless they are young. Grad transfers come for playing time and they are looking for NIL so getting more then 1 is unrealistic.
Don't think a 4th lb on our depth chart would be getting any NIL money to come here. He went to Charlotte to get playing time and if he wants NIL money then he needs a lot smaller football program. Indiana would be a school that would come to mind unless non power 4 schools can pay some NIL.
We need players no matter what they arent either or players. Plus Pippen is right out of high school and his brother was a 4 year star at Vandy if I am not mistaken.
As for the little guy WR do we really need another K.Raymond on the roster? To me Kaliff is good and we don't need to replace him yet. Would rather get a bigger WR as we dont have much in the way of big WRs
Lions did need a RB last year they had only one guy DM, and CR. Saying Swift was there is not true he was not going to be on the roster. LB WAS A BIG NEED. AA WAS NOT A starting level LB and imo still isnt and that is the reason JC was drafted. Edge is a big need as we could not get pressure when it mattered in the playoffs. Hutch is a stud and could have so much more of an impact if we have another edge teams are worried about. CB is a big need this year also.
U are correct but also people think 40 times make a QB less sackable which isnt true. The way the manipulate the pocket, how dast they can read and get throws off and can they sense the rush coming and a few other things. Brady is one guy I keep coming back to I know he is the GOAT but probably the slowest 40 of any QB with his skill.
It is good he decided to come back. He wasn't given a chance to do anything last year. He has hops and was known as a good id not great a shooter coming out of HS. His FT% suggests he can shoot well and improve upon his 3 point shooting. Most expect Burnett back, so as of now we have Phat Phat, GW3, NB, WT, and JH. 5 guys. Plus after this weekend we are going to have up to some more guys committed, up to 3 we are thinking.
Brugler I think is way wrong about BM. BM I think is going to be a steal he has all the tools and the further away from his major injuries the better he is getting. Before he got injured in HS BM was close to top 50 or so player. Maybe I am just Michigan biased as a grad and born a Michigan fan but to me he is going to be a steal if he goes 5th rd or later.
As for Jones he should have stayed another year and so should have Barnhart but maybe KB is what he is to this point. Also Henderson should have stayed as his stocked dropped from being inconsistent this year If he stayed and improved he could have gotten back to that 3rd Rd status he was prior to coming to Michigan.
I think many are underestimating Josh Wallace. His PFF numbers were dam good. If he was 2 inches taller and ran a 4.4 40 he would be 3rd-4th Rd guy. He was thrown at quite a bit because they didn't throw WJ way and JW held up well, especially against the best WR crew in college in Washington and played dam well vs. Bama. IMO JW is not being talked about enough to be a definite late rd pick.
Need to learn how scholarships are used in basketball first off. Second pretty sure he redshirted one year and was a walk on. Some conferences are a year by year in honoring them and some honor all 4 years or until graduation. Most places once you graduate, schollys are a year by year or even semester by semester basis. If we fill all 13 scholarships with players other then Jace I am aure he will still be on the team not using up a scholarship as they are know like in football no limit to them. Sanderson also stuck up for Jace because of how hard Juwan was on Jace. Yea the kid made a mistake and said something and as far as I know that was the only time he ever stepped out of line. Maybe he did it more then once but I haven't heard of anything
Of course ever QB would love to have a great line but your comment made it sound like JJ doesn't have elite athletism for the QB position. JJ the minute he steps into the NFL becomes a top 5-10 QB in athletic traits and I would even say IQ. He doesn't need an elite line to be good but he also probably needs a decent line to succeed. Also elite athletism is an overrated attribute for QBs. Tom Brady is one example but throw elite athletism for Brady and we are talking about the GOAT of GOATs.
But also 40 times arent always a great indicator of pocket success. It is how you move in the pocket with great feet movement and also having that sense of where pressure is coming from. You have to have that mental awareness of what is going on around you and process it faster then others.
Are you being sarcastic about his speed and athleticism? I hope you are because if you arent then you haven't watched a game of Michigan football or know anything about it.
He is basketball 6 foot 1. No one is ever listed there actual height. But your comments about him were way off and uninformed. Have you watched him play in Germany or for Oak Hill in person? Highly doubt it. I have sent him in person this year at his new school
Have you seen this kid play? No I don't think you have. He is now 6 foot 1 and can shoot 30 ft 3s and make them consistently. He is going to be a big loss. If you are going to rip on the kid get your facts right please. That is all that asked. Untrue things no matter how many times you say them will never be true.

Pretty good call there Thad I have agree on that except maybe Barnhart due to him being able to play all 5 positions.
He was coming off major knee surgery and was never 100% the whole season. So of course he didn't look like the previous season.
He will get touches if Williams gets hurt but I dont see a 50/50 share at all. Hoping Blake gets touches but I wanted him to go to a place he could be the primary back.

Lions do not have a 3rd or 4th rd pick.
They have Craig Reynolds as a 3rd RB. RB can be had as an UDFA. Plus they only have a 2 rd pick and then they dont pick until the 5th rd.
I bet Penix gets drafted in 1st rd, maybe Atlanta at 8.
I am sure he is going to get the best people possible which might lead to someone leaving but he isnt going to force a player out. Sure he has spoken with Jace about becoming a walkon.

Does not mean Burnett is gone. Pretty sure he isnt going to add his name to the transfer pool this late in. Stoj is going to be only a sophomore.
We still have room and like in football with NIL scholarships are not set in stone.

Thumbs up great comment some others just dont seem to understand the game of Bball

All Big Ten his senior year is my prediction!!!
Bro, doesnt mean we still arent going to get the FAU guys. We need 9 or 10 guys.
Doesn't matter if you start what matters is are you on the court in crunch time!
Michigan has offered Kent State DT CJ West.
Not sure if I seen it on here.
Was wondering when he was going to jump the ship. Should jump to one of the Michigan MAC schools so he can try to play WR.
Thought for sure he was going to KSU with Dug. Fire those guys who reported that. JK
All about the benjamins baby!!

I agree, i haven't seen Rooths play but I think that is premature. Burnett will start this year to good of a player.
Manek was like 6 foot 8 and played both forward positions. The fact they are both white is about it.

It looks like 5 coaches are needed as that is what the rules allow.
Catlin Clark from IOWA the #1 pick says what?
Traitor
Joking settle down it went over some of your heads.

Another uninformed take. Wish people who knew basketball would talk not people who think they know it. Gets old ready very bad comments or opinions.
