Minter or Harbaugh or both ? 

Or Miami money?

See Carroll, Pete ; if a team / billionaire owner really wants him this will have no impact...

Can mostly adjust for that using yards per run; but still way too early for any type of YoY comps

His brother is also top 250 as well but we are not in on him right ? Still appears to be 5-7 top250 uncommitted with leans or outright predictions to Michigan

I mean with NIL could be that anyone is a take now if it would normally just be a roster spot issue - Flynn commits you give him some NIL to pay for the degree / first year , unless he really wants that "scholarship" tag 

USC has a much higher…

USC has a much higher ceiling than PSU - zero chance Warde keeps his job if we don’t get UCLA, OSU has no real in state rival 

No doubt the turn around has…

No doubt the turn around has been great but do we really think that within the first minutes of the game / first 5 set plays in the game that Juwan really called those two plays back to back (and that Wisconsin noticed and adjusted too reactively) to open that opportunity ? Just seems a bit too much credit for playing 5D chess and that Wisco would adjust that quick but i admittedly have 0 experience as a basketball coach :) 

The brutality of some of…

The brutality of some of this is quite sadistic - the type of person you would have to be...

If these were unspoken secrets, I have to wonder why anyone would decide to play in these leagues in what is almost an equal pedastal to the NHL with College Hockey and have to believe this only swings things further towards NCAA.

Haven't we already seen a…

Haven't we already seen a dramatic increase in transfers from those classes though (including one from Neb)? I dont have anything beyond anecdotal evidence but it seems the restrictions are loosening from that perspective 

Would be interesting to see…

Would be interesting to see SEC minus UGA and Bama - suspect even with Tenn Fla and others it is pretty lopsided with those two. Transfer portal could end up really benefitting us in the end here with NIL and paying for actual college performance being much easier to fund and Michigan having a lot of funds looking for rational use 

this actually may not be…

this actually may not be that farfetched after Schliss-dog and his antics. Is weiss unmarried? does he have skills to actually hack?

"I would love to be here…

"I would love to be here with an Pres and AD that wants to get the most out of our athletics but dont think the AD wants the same thing at this point; act accordingly if you support this"

Why doesnt Warde? and actually much more likely 

Couldnt we just hire a bunch…

Couldnt we just hire a bunch of "new" employees in the AD and pay them as like a consultant or advisor that they could then pay into whatever NIL pools we prioritize? Seems like it could be one way to somehow funnel TV dollars in a semi-legal way cause technically all the tv money is from the players image and likeness being broadcase all over the US

Looks like Morris sitting,…

Looks like Morris sitting, any other confirmed resting?

Wonder if the new contract…

Wonder if the new contract paired with finally getting over this hump will be helpful to dispell the Harbuagh back to NFL (AGAIN) rumors

Not that his actions last year did any favors....

Unfortunately if you look at…

Unfortunately if you look at the top future players on our team right now you do see how much recruiting still matters.

Will Johnson will be the core of our secondary, JJ the core of our offense, and Donovan (who i thought was 5 but guess just highly rated 4) all will be the most talented players on our team by a mile. No coincidence that this is basically a 100% hit rate on 5-stars being starters so lets hope this is just the beginning of that uptick with getting more national (and definitely Ohio) players

Hell even Okie is flashing as one of the most important D Line pieces next year

Extremely short-sighted, if…

Extremely short-sighted, if he wanted to put the recruiting impact that the Vikings dalliance had (no matter the size) fully in the rearview he would be signing a contract with a very large buyout - and maybe lots of guaranteed money to throw him a bone. Completely put to rest any NFL teams coming after him for the foreseeable future like he said when he didnt get the job

Until that happens we will see an impact on recruiting as Ryan Day can just say to anyone on the fence "Harbaugh isn't committed to you but I am, I dont have NFL aspirations, etc. etc."

 

I bet you he was saying that…

I bet you he was saying that for recruiting purposes which is smart given he went to OSU. Its not like he said anything really damning of his character, just that he works people too hard and why would you want to be a player under someone who is just going to grind you down - including in college

Haha good call

Haha good call

What if Raiders (or whoever…

What if Raiders (or whoever offer) doesnt come through? He's now getting to coach at Michigan...

Sounds like pretty good outcome either way. Not that hard.

See above. Would rather go…

See above. Would rather go to the NFL as part of brand new, highly desired staff with a probably decent roster to build or be a position piece in a random carousel at any possible organization?

Again, not saying this is likely but anyone that says no chance just doesn't understand a win-win scenario

Pretty simple, no NFL offer…

Pretty simple, no NFL offer that is appealing, get to stay and coach at your alma matter - and JH is getting to dent a major regional rival. Get a Raiders offer and keys to the entire management office - you go into the NFL with a coach who has a winning track record and at least 2-3 years to implement his system and make playoff runs.

Not saying it's likely but if I played at Michigan and had NFL aspirations as a coach its basically a win-win. And if UM fans get pissy about it, pretty easy to spin the - likely true - story of NIL / Michigan not wanting to do what it takes to keep up with SEC / OSU so no point in staying.

Unless NFL is the plan and Harbaugh wants to take him with...

He also shared a not so smart opinion on the whole Dr. Anderson situation, that whole AMA must have been a nightmare for ESPN / Disney after the fact. No idea who greenlit the questions he was able to answer / if anyone

I would agree with this…

I would agree with this statement if the NFL playoff and coaching picture were finalized. So maybe at the end of the day. But certainly still a lot of cards left to fall...

Awesome looking forward to it!

Personally, I think I had class with maybe 3 athletes before starting at Ross and to say that the athletes (FB and BB) were contributors in discussion or group projects would be a very very generous statement. I'm pretty sure they went to less than half the classes anyways

Always the best part of every bowl trip, the further away from Walmarts the more Michigan fans there are and conversely less opposing fans 

I dont think we can read…

I dont think we can read anything into the Indiana game since you know it was spent trying to practice or put things on film for our game but lets hope that how Nebraska played can translate for us. I don't see why our D line can't be just as dominant agains this OL

I ran through the Arb…

I ran through the Arb yesterday and was amazed at how many groups there were sitting all over the place not even social distancing. Maybe they were all roommates but based on the numbers highly unlikely. The groups were somewhat distanced from each other but I'm guessing the Arb and other public places will soon be closed because of this.

I can also see this order at least helping with situations like this because it gives law enforcement the ability to enforce with meaningful consequences.

Hope everything works out for you.

Do we actually know definitively how long someone can be spreading COVID while they have it? It sounds like each day you are around your wife your 14 day quarantine clock would restart if we don't know as you are potentially getting re-exposed to it. I haven't seen the 3 day guidance anywhere for being in the clear, could you link that?
