It amazes me that people still fall for this. Reporters hint at things of high probabilty happening, so that when it happens they can pretend they had inside information. If they're wrong, something must've changed last minute...

Yes, sometimes there are things the team can't make public yet (all of recruiting), so they let it leak to insiders. Very doubtful that is the case here since it's from the NCAA. I don't see any reason why the NCAA would tell the team they are going to rule him eligible but haven't made it official yet.

It may be true, but this twitter account claims "breaking news" trades that are reported elsewhere and they just repeat.

Patterson is probably going to be eligible; I assume this is just a wild-ass guess based on the expected timeline.

Partly sunny, with a chance of clouds and a 50% chance of precipitation.

I have some insider information. I can't tell you where this comes from but it is a very, VERY known source to several people. The details are a little murky and I don't want to give away too much, but let's just say that Michigan is definitely going to win it's fair share of football games next year, alright? I mean... Book it.

Wasn't today Ole Miss's decision day on the paperwork filed by Michigan? Something like they had 10 days to respond to the paperwork and if they didn't make a call on it the NCAA would be the sole factor in his eligibility?

From the time that Patterson arrived/enrolled in early January, has there been anything that his not-yet-eligible status prevents him from doing?

There are no practices, of course.  Kids can look at a playbook; they can work out; they can do independent practices with other players.

Is there anything that other currently-eligible team members can do, that Shea can't?  When spring practices start on March 23, suppose there is no decision yet from the NCAA; can Shea participate in a countable practice?

Is the OL eligible? It wasn’t anywhere to be found last season.

Seriously, don’t care who is our QB next season. Fix the OL and the rest of the offense takes care of itself.
