  • 2016 big man Caleb Swanigan recaps Michigan trip

    “I’m more of a back-to-the-basket type of big man that rebounds a lot,” Swanigan said on Wednesday, describing his game. “I have a Zach Randolph type of game — that’s who I base my game off of. Being physical and playing with both hands on the rim.”

  • Walton Jr. waits in wings for Michigan

    “He passes, he makes other guys better and he can score the ball as well. With that freshman adjustment, it’s all about how quickly you adjust to the speed of the game and the length of the players on the court,” Jordan said. “We know he has good vision and passing ability. Kids come in as freshmen like Trey and they don’t know what to say from a leadership standpoint, so they’re just listening and that’s where the other guys come in and show them the ropes.”

9 weeks 6 days ago Maybe I'm a jerk, too, but if

Maybe I'm a jerk, too, but if you only paid attention to Burke down the stretch, you could get the impression he's a volume shooter.  From the Indiana game through the NC, Burke averaged 17ppg on 15.4 shots, shooting at a 37% clip.

15 weeks 2 days ago Its from the German national

Its from the German national anthem, and predates Nazis by roughly a century.

18 weeks 5 days ago He's a collossal douche

He's a collossal douche because he takes a job at OSU, recruits well, and thinks that entitles him to tell all the other coaches how to recruit.

Tell him to go through a couple recruiting cycles with IU, Iowa, Minnesota, etc. and get back to us on his advice.

He's also a megadouche because he is publically denouncing the performance of the B1G.

19 weeks 2 days ago IMO, Dick Vitale is what the

IMO, Dick Vitale is what the kids call a "Tryhard".

His enthusiasm seems like an insincere addon.  Maybe it's true of Johnson and Rafferty too, but Vitale just seems to be a big screaming trademark every game.

31 weeks 2 days ago Brady wanted to celebrate

Brady wanted to celebrate with that cop so bad.  If that cop had been paying attention, he may have lost an arm in the ensuing high five.

32 weeks 23 hours ago "We didn’t have a lot of

"We didn’t have a lot of targeting issues, missed assignments and such. We’ve only had one game where I thought that was an issue, and that was Notre Dame, but since then -- you always have a couple, and everybody always has a couple. But I don’t think it was mental. I think the biggest thing we have to do a better job of is finishing our blocks. We’re getting bodies on bodies for the most part, and I’m talking more about the running game than anything else, but getting through and winning that gap. We always talk about winning gaps. You’re responsible for knocking this guy out of that gap or moving him enough so that the back can read it -- we have to win that gap. We just have to do a better job of winning those gaps, getting those plays started, and giving our tailbacks a chance to go.”

 

I really wonder what Brian thinks about this.

Mario is listed at 231lbs on the most recent roster.  He's adding weight quick.

45 weeks 2 days ago Something tells me Brian

1 year 2 weeks ago Those ratings are an absolute

Those ratings are an absolute joke.

1 year 3 weeks ago Dennis Norfleet is very

Dennis Norfleet is very different because Michigan didn't very publicly recruit four or five 5'9" scat backs before settling on Norfleet.  Norfleet was a luxury that Michigan could afford once offers at other positions fell through.

Mike McCray has fairly obviously been relegated to Meyer's fourth or fifth choice at linebacker, and he certainly deserved better.

1 year 5 weeks ago  they're still in good

 they're still in good position for VA RB Derrick Green—who was profiled this week on ESPN.com—and TN RB Jordan Wilkins

 

What are you calling good position?

1 year 9 weeks ago Gotta say that isn't really

Gotta say that isn't really strong defense of Gardner on that TD pass.  It may have landed where it was supposed to be that motion was bad.  

1 year 9 weeks ago Hoke is obviously not really

Hoke is obviously not really liking Omameh's performance this spring, and Chris Bryant isn't getting mentioned at all.  These incoming  freshmen are gonna get a real long look in the fall.

1 year 10 weeks ago What's the word on Chris

What's the word on Chris Bryant?  I haven't heard a word about him in these spring pressers.

I was expecting him to find a starting spot this year, and all I'm hearing is Elliott Miller and Joe Burzynski.

1 year 10 weeks ago I'm not sure how much

I'm not sure how much interest is there from Michigan.  I think his big offers might be to play along the line.  Not sure about that.

Kenton Gibbs out of Cass Tech would probably jump at an offer and he has been on campus, but he doesn't have any BCS offers yet.

1 year 10 weeks ago Poggi is a 3-tech/SDE, Greg

Poggi is a 3-tech/SDE, Greg Webb was being recruited at the nose.

If Crayton and Webb are out of the picture, I'm not sure who's up next at the nose.

1 year 11 weeks ago I have seen his recruiting

I have seen his recruiting updates referenced on other sites, and they seem to have gone a long way in convincing more than a few people that Ty Isaac is in the bag for the Blue.

While I don't think it warrants shutting down the updates, I can understand why RDT is afraid of the possible backlash.  Ty Isaac still seems a good deal away from a Michigan commitment, if it ever comes.  And if it doesn't come, he would be breaking some hearts.

1 year 12 weeks ago I seem to remember a recent

I seem to remember a recent Borges interview where he specifically said that the roll outs were a mistake, that teams would look for the rollouts and pin them up against the sideline, and that he was handicapping Denard by not letting him step up under the pass rush.

I find it hard to believe we will see a lot of Denard bootlegs this year.

"You can grub grub grub about will to win and finding ways to win and winning is for winners; I don't buy that stuff."

Even when dealing with a team captained by Novak and Douglass?

You've spent the last couple of months reiterating just how much this team as a whole and as individuals overachieves.  This team is remarkable for its ability to overcome deficiencies in size, athleticism, and skill to just make it work.

1 year 15 weeks ago Yeah, but you got 15 less

Yeah, but you got 15 less scholarships to work with on NCAA 2012

1 year 15 weeks ago Penn State is on a roll and

Penn State is on a roll and just landed a big time QB in Christian Hackenberg.  They are looking real good right now for Breneman.

1 year 15 weeks ago We all know how close Dymonte

We all know how close Dymonte is to his cousin, but his brother also attends OSU.  Dymonte told aquaman that he may visit OSU but it would be for family over.

So don't be shocked if pictures show up of Dymonte standing on Ohio's sideline during a game at some point during the season.
