Gotta feel great for JM. He's an in-state kid who came to Michigan at a time when MSU was still the top program in the state and used to beat us on the reg. He never got an offer or even so much as a look from Izzo. It has to feel great to him to be a part of Michigan surpassing MSU. He'll finish his career with a 6-8 record against Izzo, two championship rings, a final four ring, and a trip to the finals. Plus a degree from a prestigious engineering program.
Why are the major detroit media outlets avoiding this story? This is a huge deal considering these two clowns are still on the team and were never punished.
Has anyone watched film on ricky doyle lately? He's basically Mitch McGary but with a 3-point game. Very excited for what this kid is going to bring to this team.
Speaking of Appling and Payne, students are apparently planning to shout "no means no" at them during the game at Crisler in February. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand it does seem rather shady the way that whole thing got swept under the rug despite campus police concluding that they should have been charged with rape. Even if there wasn't enough evidence to convict, there still seems to be more than enough for the school or Izzo to have disciplined them in some way, and that never happened. On the other hand we don't know the whole story and I would hate for them to have to endure that type of torment at our arena if they are in fact just the victims of a girl creating a false rape story. What are everyone's thoughts?
Iowa showing the blueprint for beating sparty. You cant run on them becase they always rush 6 or leave 7 in the box, but it leaves them vulnerable in the secondary.

Agree. That said, I Don't think the drop off from Devin to Shane will be that dramatic in terms of scrambling ability. Shane may not be listed as a dual threat quarterback, but he is more athletic than the average bear.
Campbell wasn't offered because he's not a top target, plain and simple. We have limited room in the 2015 class. If at some point Borges and Hoke decide we have room for Campbell (presumably after a top QB target commits), they will offer and he'd switch his commitment faster than you can say Drake Harris. But I've seen nothing on Campbell's film to indicate that he's the on the level of Morris and Speight. He seems a lot closer to Chance Stewart despite CT's success last year resulting in early offers from Bama and Notre Dame.
Plus Braylon was kind of a cock to Hoke and his staff about not offering his little brother, and Braylon still weilds some control over who gets the jersey with his donation to the athletic department. I dont want a guy like Braylon meddling too much in our coaching staff's decision making.
I think Hoke is trying to eliminate the #1 jersey, which I support. It draws too much attention from the defense is nowhere as cool or unique as the legends jersey thing.
Kinda cool how everyone did everything right on that play. ND lined up perfectly against the pkay we wanted to run, Hoke tried to call timeout, Devin called the audible, Fitz and Butt (albeit with some direction from Devin and Fitz) adjusted to the changed play, and Devin and the O-line executed and got the TD.
Devin will run for more TDs. Compare Devin's 5 games last year to Braxton's over the same stretch. It isn't close. Braxton will get more yards but Devin will have more overall yards, more TDs both passing and rushing, and a better completion percentage..
Thx for tje updates. Anyone else not buyin the Drake Johnson hype? I know he set state records while at Pioneer, and I'd love to be wrong, but when I watch his film I'm definitely not surprised that EMU was his only other offer.
This is so cool. Especially happy for Kerridge, since judging by his comments, it sounds like he wasn't getting much if any family support with his tuition and was taking on the financial burden all on his own.
I think Shane is a very talented kid and will be a solid QB for Michigan, but he doesn't strike me as a generational talent, so I don't understand the concern about keeping him around for a 5th year. Between Speight and the 2 other QBs we'll recuit in the next 2 years, I don't think its a foregone conclusion that Shane will be the best of the group.

I dunno about that. College athletics is still instructional. Coaches gotta coach
Err, 6-2 'gainst Izzo

I was highly entertained. Palladi network has been showing it on cable revently

who cares? Just win the conference then proceed to kick much ass in the tourney.

The incompletion made it 3rd down. She was saying if Iowa stops them on the next play, they may want to use a TO.
95% of it will still be the same for you old timers. Give us the other 5% and let's see what we can do with it.
^hasn't seen Damien Harris play : D

You mean other than the fact that its a major market in the staye and theres lots of michigan fans in the state capital?

How exactly did it backfire? Because a bunch of butthurt Georgia fans sent him an email because they were pissed about losing Tunsil?
I'm pretty sure that didn't actually happen breh.

Wilson looks legit but Furman was awful
What does a gig like that pay these days?

Also, I have pre-2008 arrogance once again going into the MSU game. First time in a while I'm not worried about that game.
Devin will post better overall stats this year than Braxton. Braxton will still be heralded as the top skill position player in the conference.
The only midwest teams they want to play are cupcakes
Why didnt Dantonio or Rich Rod offer Norfleet? He was hardly an unknown and he certainly passes the eyeball test.
anywheres I can watch video of the pist-game press conference?
For all the crap they've talked about our QB depth, I'll take Cleary over either Maxwell or Cook.
Hopefully Shane gets a decent amount of snaps in that game
Hi Damon!
Man that is annoying. Any idea why my post is only visible through the mobile app?

Jeremy Clark is listed at 305 lbs.
Jeremy!
What are the rules on this? Would he be prohibited from playing in the conference where his dad is a ref? Is it discouraged?

That's hands down the most impressive film I've seen on one of our QB targets in a while. The kid definitely appears to have "it", whatever "it" is.
This is so cool. Especially happy for Kerridge, since judging by his comments, it sounds like he wasn't getting much if any family support with his tuition and was taking on the financial burden all on his own.
Hooray! The 2016 season in going to be so awesome!
What if gardner's helmet comes off and we need to send another QB in to run one play. Does Hoke burn Shane's redshirt for that?
I think Shane is a very talented kid and will be a solid QB for Michigan, but he doesn't strike me as a generational talent, so I don't understand the concern about keeping him around for a 5th year.

Lol no. The only way Morris redshirts is if he injures himself for the better part of a season between now and 2016
Morris with a nice 25-yard strike to Jake Butt over the middle, then a pick 6 right into the arms of Ramon Taylor. #learning curve
*masturbates furiously*
Superprepare = multiple late hits on the QB, helmet twists at the bottom of the pile, throwing a punch at the player who just beat you on a play, etc.
Their RB Zurlon Tipton is pretty good too, no? He's on the Doak Walker watch list and accounted for 1,700 yards of offense last year.
