June is when you would start to worry if you don't have most of the class you want. A lot of high school kids take visits in the summer and then commit. This time last year there were 12 players committed who ended up signing. https://michigan.rivals.com/commitments/football/2024
I was thinking Goldin as in. But that may be premature since he is probably waiting on admissions. I assumed Burnett and Howard were staying since they are still enrolled and haven't hit the portal.
This will allow the General Manager position to negotiate directly with the players and let the coaches perform their recruiting role in the process. Hope it works.
The news cycle is being fed by agents and there are so many agendas. Teams also give out false information for their agendas. I trust my eyes and JJ is going to haunt the GM's that passed on him.
I know the comparison has been made before, but I think he is the closest talent to Tom Brady, when you look at his leadership and calm approach in the big moments.
The OSU '21 game was glorious because of the physical dominance and obvious turning of the tide. But, the NATTY game has been rewatched the most by me so far.
I actually thought Arkansas already hired him. Probably just people trying to get ahead of the story. He's going to have a hard time competing now that everybody pays players. Plus the young, one and done, teams never create any continuity.
JJ has been very generous with his time but has found some revenue streams. NIL can be something that endures when you win the National Championship. His signature adds value to any item instantly.
I almost have 2000 mgo points. It's only taken me 13 years. I usually visit the site everyday at some point and love all of the content.
This season will be hard to match and that's ok, next year is a new challenge. I believe in Coach Moore and he does very well on the sidelines, in big games, at Michigan.
In the first Louisville link it takes 20 posts before someone mentions that their conference is imploding and that they don't have any idea what conference they are going to be in NEXT year.
So happy we get to keep some of that chemistry from the last 3 years. Some of these players have been waiting a long time for a chance to lead. Giovanni El Hadi comes to mind. He has been good enough to start ANYWHERE except where Zinter and Keegan played.
He was terrible in the Rose Bowl. Kenneth Grant and Mason Graham gave him issues he couldn't manage. How they were not 5 stars, based on how good they were from the start, is a mystery to me. They both have long term NFL potential and are going to be so much fun to watch this year.

Pippen will be in the guard rotation.
I think they should be looking for size with the last 3 spots. They do seem ok at the guard positions now.
That's 10 players. 3 spots left.

That's really nice for him getting to be such a big part of the future. UM Hoops has the roster updated already: https://umhoops.com/recruiting/scholarship-breakdown/
Lot's of playing time available.
I see the resemblance to his father. No need to do the dna test. I'll take any version of Scottie Pippen to build a team around.
Nice for him to be the first. He can always point to the confidence he had in the staff.

He was being passed on the depth chart by everybody..

Jim Rockford used to get in many fights in that trailer.
Todd Simon is a good young coach and he is in good hands.

Here in the south they call them buggies. Nobody here, except me, calls them a shopping cart.
That would be great for him. I was hoping we would hear of him getting opportunities. He was a big part of some past success.
I like this coach so far. We are seeing players with confidence in their coach, wanting to follow him. Nice quality to have.
no
OSU went through the first 11 games easily. They are always loaded. Not wise to underestimate them.
He is the only QB on the board that has proven he can win the big game.
Watching in South Carolina. Going to see them next week.
Love the countdown. Only you know who will be at the top, but here is my guess at top 5:
1. Mason Graham
2. Will Johnson
3. Colston Loveland
4. Kenneth Grant
5. Donovan Edwards
This is great news. He is a perfect role player for a team. Teams need to be old.

And to beat Sharty!
That was a nice goal.

He seems very professional and comes with good track record.
If he was a Center that would have cleared it up.
Don't you want to stick around and celebrate the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP on the blog?
And a player or three.
I like your theory.
Zinter was always good right from the start as a true freshman. He is going to be an anchor on the interior for many years.
Keegan in the 6th round seems like a big steal. Barner should be higher also very ready to contribute right away.
"He's loose again" - Gus calling Donovan Edwards second TD in the Natty.
I'd like to see the BIG pick Duke if they are going to 24 teams. Much like Northwestern academically and a private school.
In that scenario, we could call him Jizzo and his pal Tugger.
The arena there is very small. Not sure on why it was even considered? NCAA do you even want to survive?
...And their (Louisville) in the ACC. And certainly not at the top of the pecking order when the Big 3 conferences select ACC schools, very soon.
In the first Louisville link it takes 20 posts before someone mentions that their conference is imploding and that they don't have any idea what conference they are going to be in NEXT year.
FAU has a strong roster. Dusty can recruit. With the portal maybe the wait will be short.
He never stopped shooting.

Did the right thing.

And 10 new players.
