Will Hagerup returning?
( It's not paywalled. I guess I just assumed everything on wolverinenation was)
So ESPN has these The Good, The Bad, and The Future posts about all of the position groups. The one they posted today is on the Special Teams and there is no mention of Hagerup. I used the google search function and didn't see a post regarding him not returning. Am I missing something? My understanding was that he was suspended for the 2013 season but would return for his Senior year in 2014. I think it'd be a huge boost to our special teams if he returned and Wile could just focus on kicking.

Also, are you surprised espn got something wrong?
January 20th, 2014 at 1:53 PM ^
ESPN? Something wrong? I for one am just SHOCKED! SHOCKED I tell you!!
January 20th, 2014 at 3:28 PM ^
And my understanding is that he must NOT be returning. Had he actually been returning my infallable ESPN Overlords would've told me so.

EDIT: I thought i had made that post sarcastic enough but I guess not so sadly I will add the

Because these aren't educational records. And I don't think it's HIPAA either, because they can freely discuss his status on the team without disclosing any PHI. So even if the school may be providing some sort of medical treatment, they can still answer the question if they want.
They just don't want.

I work with a lot of HIPAA stuff and it's always best to err on the side of caution. I also don't necessairly think that's true except to the extent they'd say he's under our treatment or has been treated.

This may seem funny now, but when witnessing that at our Stadium, 25 rows directly behind (at the right hand side of, to be exact) Will Hagerup, I was absolutely horrified at that very moment.
January 20th, 2014 at 6:40 PM ^
Like pretty much every other fan, I let loose a howl of despair that shook the very foundations of my psyche when this happened.
January 20th, 2014 at 2:11 PM ^
In several interviews throughout last spring and summer, Hoke was pretty clear that Will would be back in 2014 and could be with the team then. Much of that was about helping Hagerup as a person, of course - he said at Big Ten Media Days this past July that he could very well have tossed him off the team, but his position was that you coach to develop the person and this punishment was aimed at helping Hagerup develop as just that.

I've heard he's done everything he needs to do so far and is on track to return as long as he doesn't mess up by August.
January 20th, 2014 at 2:20 PM ^
as long as he doesn't go all Tate on us he is good to go, correct???
January 20th, 2014 at 2:29 PM ^
We need more Brian on the board. It's like an mgoblog easter egg.
January 20th, 2014 at 9:52 PM ^
January 20th, 2014 at 3:55 PM ^
just how did the Brian dude get sooooo many points??
Me-thinks something is fishy here.
January 20th, 2014 at 4:18 PM ^
"I've heard he's done" ...good thing I read on to the rest of your point.
January 20th, 2014 at 6:30 PM ^
Some of these guys need to figure out how we do things around here. Perhaps whoever this "Brian" guy is should read the FAQs about good post construction.
January 20th, 2014 at 2:17 PM ^
But how high are his chances?
January 20th, 2014 at 2:29 PM ^
You practice high, you punt the ball high, you get higher punt averages.

January 20th, 2014 at 2:19 PM ^
If we can't get him I want him as far south as possible, away from our rivals
January 20th, 2014 at 2:25 PM ^
This may be true or it may not be.

Just posted this in another thread, but relevant here too.
Jared Shanker at ESPN Insider has an article on Malik's FSU trip and the quotes are from Malik's father, Greg.
Greg notes that Malik was having a good visit and could see a path to getting on the field. It goes on to discuss how Narduzzi's in home visit helped dispel some rumors Greg had heard about MSU players and how serious they take their schoolwork or lack there of.
But the money quote is:
“My son likes Coach Narduzzi and the coaches at Michigan State, but it’s always been University of Michigan first with me,” Greg said.
January 20th, 2014 at 3:50 PM ^
He says that he doubts McDowell wants to go far from home. He feels it is between MSU and UM. Nice things are usually said in response to questions on visits. Even Hand didn't want to say OSU sucks.
January 20th, 2014 at 4:42 PM ^
That's one helluva logistical challenge bringing an entire university up to Michigan. They're pulling out all the stops. Hope they visited Lafayette Coney Island.

I tweeted at Chantel (the writer of this article) asking why Hagerup wasn't included and her reply was "I don't think he will make an impact". Simple as that apparently.

Wasn't he all conference in 2012? hmmmm
January 20th, 2014 at 4:28 PM ^
Sorry, but Chantel also writes some pretty stupid articles.. She has written several where she misses some key points.. I try to avoid a lot of her write ups..
January 20th, 2014 at 2:28 PM ^
January 20th, 2014 at 3:11 PM ^
That's her opinion, not mine.
I think she forgot but who knows.
January 20th, 2014 at 2:35 PM ^
Hopefully Hagerup won't let us down a third time.
January 20th, 2014 at 2:46 PM ^
Not sure why the ($) paywall sign... It isn't paywalled.

takes a pass at punter and kicker?
January 20th, 2014 at 2:58 PM ^
Easy for you to say.

or feet. Wish the best for Hagerup however his future plays out.

The real question is, "why do you have that saved on your computer?"
January 20th, 2014 at 5:25 PM ^
I saw this the other day and I really like the size of his dock.
You read that wrong. It says dOck. JK, had to google it and then save it to my computer for this post. Honest, Your Honor.
Now why The Space Emperor is posing like that is truly an enigma.

Keep in mind that the season was already over before Stonum was dismissed from the team after a similare punishment.
