21 hours 32 min ago	Yeah	He'd be stupid not to do this.  As long as he doesn't sign with an agent, he gets feedback from the NBA on his draft stock and what he needs to improve.
2 days 14 hours ago	Covering crossing routes	OSU kept going to the crossing routes against UM and had success just about every time. As you mentioned the personnel questions are minimal. The defense is loaded and should be fun to watch.
2 days 15 hours ago	Evans	I get what you're saying but I was pretty impressed with Evans against OSU last year. He had some really nice moves and I thought he ran with a lot of toughness. Thought there were a number of plays where he picked up extra yards when it appeared the play was over.
2 days 23 hours ago	Yeah	I can't wait to see the defense this fall.
5 days 19 hours ago	With the world cup this summer	I'm guessing all the big name players will be sitting out these exhibitions.
6 days 23 hours ago	I remember that storm	I was in elementary school in Ohio. School was closed for a few weeks. We'd drive to school to drop off homework assignments and pick up the next round of homework assignments to do at home.
1 week 23 hours ago	I think	Harbaugh did.
1 week 3 days ago	Like I said above	you are talking gross average not net average. Do you understand the difference between gross punting average and net punting average?  Gross is from the line of scrimmage to where the returner catches it.  Net is from the line of scrimmage to where the returner is tackled - ie, the line of scrimmage where UM is punting from to the new line of scrimmage where the opponent will start on offense. IBelow is the link to the NCAA stats on how teams did last year on net punting.   https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/98/p3 There are a number of factors that can affect the net:  poor punt coverage by the punting team, poor gross punting average by the punter, not much hang time on the punt which usually means the return team isn't close to the returner when he catches it, etc.
1 week 3 days ago	That's gross average	Michigan as a team averaged 35.73 net yards per punt, which was 113th out of 129 teams. That's terrible.
1 week 3 days ago	Any chance you've asked	About the punting game? It was woeful last year. It'd be nice to hear some good things on that front.
1 week 3 days ago	He should	The NBA and NCAA have it set up so as long as a player doesn't sign an agent, it's to the players benefit to attend, if invited, and get feedback from the NBA.
2 weeks 3 days ago	Yup	Other then Brunson and Spellman their entire roster is from PA or a state on the eastern coast.
2 weeks 3 days ago	What's a one of kind team?	They won the title in 2016 too.  Some of the players on this years team were also on the 2016 team, but the main cogs of the 2016 team were not on the 2018 team.
2 weeks 4 days ago	Villanova	Gets all their pub because of their offense but their defense is extremely good too. On Kenpom UM has the 3rd ranked defense and Nova has the 11th ranked defense.
2 weeks 5 days ago	Agree on Teske	Asking him to play defense 20 feet from the basket on someone who can shoot the three or drive to the hole seems like a big ask.  It will be interesting to see how minutes get allocated tonight, but I see Pool or Livers getting more time then usual and Teske getting less time then usual.
2 weeks 6 days ago	Need someone other	then Mathews and Moe to step up.
3 weeks 13 hours ago	I hope you're not expecting	Jake Long/Jon Jansen type offensive tackle.  After the disaster last year, I'm just hoping we get a couple of average guys there.  Anything else is a bonus.
3 weeks 1 day ago	Yeah	It's probably going to be tough to get a beat on the oline since they are going up against UM's dline.  Probably won't really know where they stand until they start playing on Saturdays in the fall.
3 weeks 1 day ago	You'll just be hearing	Come August you'll just be hearing how overrated MSU and PSU are.
3 weeks 1 day ago	How do you reseed after the first round?	You would need to have all 16 teams in a regional at the same location if you reseed after the first round.
3 weeks 2 days ago	Connections to Ohio	Louisville is only 80 miles southeast of Cincy.  His Ohio connections aren't going to dry up at Louisville.
3 weeks 2 days ago	Yeah	but how much money does the Xavier athletic department make?  They have 16 sports and the only one which is probably a money maker is men's basketball.  While the Big East isn't a mid major when it comes to the quality of the basketball they play, it's probably a mid major in terms of athletic department revenues.  The power 5 conference schools make their money from the football TV contracts.  The Big East doesn't have D1 football. Looking at the list in the link below, he was one of the highest paid coaches not in a power 5 conference. http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/mens-basketball/coach/
3 weeks 2 days ago	Yeah	Agree.  The defense returns everyone but Hurst and McCray.  It's not like this is going to be a young, inexperienced team that needs an elder statesman.  Like you said, it's not diminishing what McCray provided last year in that regard, it's just there's a lot of people who can step into that role.
3 weeks 3 days ago	He was also	the MVC player of the year.
3 weeks 3 days ago	Yeah	All someone needs to do is seemingly make a negative story about anything UM and the masses fall for it hook, line and sinker.
3 weeks 4 days ago	With special teams	I'm way more interested in the punter.  The punting game last year was bad.
3 weeks 4 days ago	I don't think it's the shooting of 3s	It's the fact that Beilein has 4s and 5s who shoot threes where he was ahead of the curve.  Teams have utlilized the 3 pointer for years.  it's just that at most schools the 3 point shooters have been the guards and smaller wingman.
4 weeks 2 days ago	I think part of the problem	was the oline was sieve when it came to pass protection.  If you're running 4 wr's out there with a QB and a running back, you're pretty much leaving your oline on island all by themselves with pass blocking.
4 weeks 2 days ago	Question	Forgive me for maybe a stupid question, but then are these RPO's primarily out of the shotgun?  It'd be pretty tough to ask the QB to be under center and move backwards for the handoff while at the same time keeping his head looking downfield at a defender, no?
4 weeks 3 days ago	I think it's more of pre-snap read	depending on what the QB sees when they line up for the play.
