Drake Harris playing his last year at Western Mich

I hope he has 13 good games.
February 24th, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
What about 14? Not likely, but could return to MAC Championship.
February 24th, 2018 at 2:06 PM ^
I think the good Dr. was referencing that WMU is on Michigan's schedule next year. But maybe he meant that the Flying Dutchmen play 11 games (except they don't, they have 10 games scheduled.)

They can't win 15 unless they beat us on September 8th. So, no, I don't like that idea.
February 24th, 2018 at 2:04 PM ^
MAC championship and bowl? I'm saying that I hope he does not have a good game against us.
February 24th, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
Yes. I know you were.
February 24th, 2018 at 1:24 PM ^
Good for him. Best directional school in the state right now, and that includes the Mid-Central Michigan University for Rules Violation Sciences.
February 24th, 2018 at 1:27 PM ^
CMU beat both directional schools last year.

That's distinction is so meaningful that it's the first time I've heard it.

Not that it matters, but it is interesting that they gave him an exception to play on a team on our schedule next year.

Seems like the fact that it's not a Power 5 school plus the obvious geographic ties Drake has to the area would lead most reasonable coaches to grant this release.
February 24th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
If you've graduated from your undergrad institution do you still need a release? Like, since Drake is a grad transfer and not a normal transfer, does he need permission to go to any specific school? I genuinely don't know.
February 24th, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
I don't believe so. I think that that was eliminated when the "grad program your current chool does not offer" clause was eliminated. I think grad transfers are complete free agents now.

I remember how huge of a recrutiing coupe it was when he flipped from MSU to us. This kid looked as a junior in high school like the next Randy Moss. Hurt his hamstring and never was the same.
Just goes to show you how competitive big time college football is, this was one of the best players in the Grand Rapids area ever, probably the best high school WR anyone from this side of the state ever saw. And he couldn't compete in college.

I remember reading in the physical therapy journals that they now think hamstring strains are more tendon-based than muscular, which makes for a lot more scar tissue. The likelihood of re-straining a hamstring is disproportinately higher than many other "muscle" strains.
It's not rare for Olympic sprinters (obviously more one dimensional) to take a 1-2 years to return to competition for a hamstring strain.

When I saw this news, I actually was wondering how many from those 2014 and 2015 classes actually made it to graduation or are still here. It cannot be very many, although I could be wrong, and yes, that is definitely a contributing factor to all that we've discussed on this board in the last few months, IMHO. The funny thing is that I don't know if this specific point has come up before.

Self-imposed probationary sanctions...its what happens when you blow back to back coaching hires.

On and off the field with everything. Glad he went to Michigan. Hope he stays healthy and have a feeling he will.
February 24th, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
We all wish you well. Hoping for a healthy and productive final season as you obtain a master's degree!
