Under Armour AA Game Draft
This year for the UA All American game, they did a draft format as opposed to previous years based on the players’ geographic location. First overall Pick was an OL commit to Tennessee, but second overall....
ZACH CHARBONNET
Congrats to one of the members of the 2019 class, setting up to be one of the best this school has had.

I think the captain for Zach's team (Kayvon Thibodeaux) happens to also be his HS teammate. Still pretty impressive that his peers think of him this highly.
November 8th, 2018 at 5:32 PM ^
Think we may have a good one on our hands... he will break the 5 star RB curse... Hopefully by remaining as a high 4 star.
November 8th, 2018 at 5:58 PM ^
So excited for this kid and getting drafted 2nd overall shows just how much he's valued
November 8th, 2018 at 6:32 PM ^
I don't know if Zach will be a 30 carry a game back his freshman year, nor am I willing to rule out a Turner jump, but I'm really confident Charbonnet is going to be in the main rotation along with Evans his freshman year. His tape is my favorite from a Michigan running back commit since Fitzgerald Toussaint
November 8th, 2018 at 6:49 PM ^
I don't think Michigan wants a 30 carry a game kind of back right now. Harbaugh has clearly expressed his preference for a RB by committee approach with a RB1 taking 60-70% of snaps and RB2 taking the rest.
That being said, Charbonnet definitely has the skill set to be a RB1 at Michigan. I don't see Evans being a RB1, so he should play a role as a change of pace/pass-catching type of back next year. Turner/Charbonnet should battle it out as the main backs, with a possibility of Samuels doing some damage. It's unlikely, but Haskins could bulk up and play a factor in there too. He's another big back that needed more time in the weight room to get more upper body strength. With Ben Herbert and a year in the system, I'm sure he'll be more than ready physically.
November 8th, 2018 at 8:11 PM ^
I believe your assessment is quite astute. But I will take Charbonnet and 25 carries a game any day of the week and twice on Sunday. This kid's talent jumps off the screen and will translate upwards..so much so that I believe this is why Gray is not sure about coming-he should come too though.
Otherwise, that OL Tennessee kid is Trente Jones' teammate...and surely Michigan is trying to flip him...and get Ike or Keegan as well. Now that would be an AL level OL class!!!
November 9th, 2018 at 1:58 PM ^
Actually, Harbaugh repeatedly said early on that he prefers to have an every down, workhorse RB. It's just that we haven't really had that, or our offense wasn't really suited to that until now. I think if Charbonnet is as good as advertised, and the rest of the offense keeps improving, we'll see what Harbaugh really wants to do. I don't think that will be RB by committee. But, that's just, like, my opinion, man.

What does Adam Biggers, aka, umbig11, have to say about this?
November 8th, 2018 at 6:45 PM ^
The two have completely different writing styles... they're not the same.
November 8th, 2018 at 6:48 PM ^
I don't think so.
Ask him if he is Adam Biggers.
umbigg11 has the same level of sports knowledge as Adam Biggers. Both wrong just as much as the other.
He is Adam Biggers
umbiggers11
He started writing on the blog at the same time as Adam Biggers started covering Michigan football.
November 8th, 2018 at 6:55 PM ^
Why does this matter so much to you?
November 8th, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
I can't believe you guys are answering him? (shakes head)
November 8th, 2018 at 7:19 PM ^
It's ok. Relax. I self reported me to the moderator Sticky. They'll block me, and you'll be safe again.
November 9th, 2018 at 10:21 AM ^
lol he is not Adam Biggers. VERRRRY different people.
November 8th, 2018 at 6:50 PM ^
You seem pretty salty about this. What does it matter if he is Adam Biggers?
November 8th, 2018 at 6:53 PM ^
It must matter, since he has been asked if he is Adam Biggers, and won't answer. That's pretty much a give away he is.
If he was not Adam Biggers he would immediately say so.
And don't lots of people on here want to know who umbig11 is? I'm sure many, if not all, want to know.
Don't you?
November 8th, 2018 at 6:56 PM ^
Do you want everyone on here to know who you are? Why don't you share your personal information with us?
November 8th, 2018 at 6:59 PM ^
Tell me you don't want to know who umbig11 is.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:03 PM ^
I 100% do not care about umbig11's identity.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
Quit being a douche
November 9th, 2018 at 2:00 PM ^
I'd rather know who you are, so I could dox you. I give zero shits who UMBig11 is in real life. It doesn't matter. Nor do you, but here we are.
November 8th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
Not particularly. I only care if his information is solid. And mostly it has been. I wasn't a huge fan of his emo/bashing everything Michigan phase in the beginning of the season, but he's a fan and he has a right to be mad about Michigan as much as the rest of us. And even then his information has been good.
Also the point of us having usernames is so that we don't have to put our real names out here. I mean I don't want people knowing i'm actually Putin.
November 8th, 2018 at 6:59 PM ^
Er, ignore that last part. I am average Joe American.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
lol, that's funny.
Honestly, I don't know how, and why, you have stayed so long at this blog. You are so very much unlike most commenters here. How have you been able to navigate through all the negativity for so long?
November 8th, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
What if you're Adam Biggers? What if I'm Adam Biggers? Would it make some kind of difference if he were Adam Biggers? Who is Adam Biggers anyways? Is this all some kind of ploy to get people to search for Adam Biggers so that he gets more traffic or something?
November 8th, 2018 at 10:21 PM ^
I’m Ron Burgandy?
November 9th, 2018 at 6:06 AM ^
Thank you for giving me a good laugh. Perfect reply.
November 8th, 2018 at 10:51 PM ^
I'm Rutgres.
November 9th, 2018 at 12:33 AM ^
I'm Batman!
November 8th, 2018 at 8:50 PM ^
Im fairly certain I know who umbig11 is and it surely isnt Adam Biggers. Over the summer there was a GoFundMe for umbig11s daughter, which included her name. I'm not going to drop his identity here because I'm not an ass, but it also isn't terribly hard to figure out.
November 8th, 2018 at 10:24 PM ^
I am Spartacus.
November 8th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
And to answer your question: if it was confirmed by him that he is Adam Biggers it would explain why his "insider" information is wrong so much, as Adam Biggers is only a reporter, and not an insider. I know he tries to give the impression he is an insider. But he is not. How many times has he said, "Let's wait and see"? Or, "There's information coming out soon about this or that"? While never saying what it is. He reads stuff from other guys, and repeats it here, without the full knowledge of those he reads or talk to, know. He even copies and pastes things of other people.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
umbig11 is an alumnus, a booster, and about 100x more articulate via writing than Adam Biggers. I also think he’s a lot older than Adam. He said his daughter was in a very serious accident in the off-season, she is already of college age. Isn’t Adam biggers way too young to have a daughter that old? I don’t think he has a daughter at all.
What the fuck is wrong with you and why in the world are you so obsessed with this topic?
November 8th, 2018 at 7:22 PM ^
I asked him directly if he is Adam Biggers, and instead of answering, he went on about some music on the sidelines after the Penn St game. Odd that he did that. Made me thinks he's Adam Biggers, avoiding to answer.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:28 PM ^
Maybe he didn't answer because engaging with crazy obsessed people is not everyone's idea of a good time? Sounds crazy I know.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:51 PM ^
He did answer me. But he didn't answer what I asked. He talked about music on the sidelines near the end of the Penn St game. He was talking about what the team was doing near the end of the game. I replied, asking him if he was Adam Biggers. He then replied what they songs wer eon the sidelines.
That's all. It was an odd answer.
If he is not Adam Biggers, I do apologize.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
Why don't you have the balls to use your main account for this garbage? You need help man
November 8th, 2018 at 7:48 PM ^
How many accounts do you have?
November 8th, 2018 at 10:43 PM ^
Dude this blog is not for you. Let it go.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:50 PM ^
Dude you’re making multiple accounts and repeatedly accusing him of being someone he clearly isn’t.
what is the big deal? Just quit it
November 8th, 2018 at 7:52 PM ^
If I'm wrong. I apologize.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:25 PM ^
To add to this one of the posters on this board said he met him in real life and his history was interesting. I haven't heard of Biggers until now and looking him up... I'm going to say his life has not been that interesting thus far (maybe a bad assumption but I'm fine with it).
November 8th, 2018 at 7:52 PM ^
If I'm wrong, I do apologize.
November 8th, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
You are a moron.
November 8th, 2018 at 8:50 PM ^
Your obsession with him is fucking creepy.
November 8th, 2018 at 8:47 PM ^
I am Adam Biggers
November 8th, 2018 at 9:19 PM ^
On this day we are all Adam Biggers.
November 9th, 2018 at 11:31 AM ^
In Project Mayhem we have no names but when Napkin Flavoring accuses someone for being Adam Biggers, we are all Adam Biggers... Our name is Adam Biggers... Our name is Adam Biggers
November 9th, 2018 at 11:50 AM ^
I am adam biggers and so's my wife.
November 8th, 2018 at 9:43 PM ^
Umbig11 isn’t Adam Biggers. So please shut the hell up and stop asking on every post.
