No contract negotiations.  Just give Harbaugh a blank check.

Any chance you guys link to…

Any chance you guys link to the potential recruits 247 profile in the future?  Scout no longer exists, ESPN is a joke, and Rivals is mediocre at best.  I believe the board consensus is that 247 is the best recruiting site, so why not include a link?

I would find it helpful on many levels and I've read other comments here that express the same sentiment.  Just my $.02.

Love Yaklich too but Juwan…

Love Yaklich too but Juwan should be the unconditional priority.  Get it done already.

I will always love Juwan…

I will always love Juwan Howard.  Saw him play with the Fab 5.  Enjoyed seeing his long NBA career with different teams.  But I really don't know enough about his coaching acumen and resume to have an opinion on him becoming our next head coach.  I heard his name mentioned as a possible Lakers head coach candidate(before Frank Vogel was hired).  So he must be seen by some as a potential good/great head coach, right?

Actually, his career arc kind of reminds me of Jim Harbaugh before his tenure at Stanford.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we seriously considered him as an HC candidate after Lloyd left.  And I can't remember if we courted him after Rich Rod was fired.  But he finally came home and I hope he stays until he's ready to retire.

Is Juwan the same kind of winner Harbaugh has been at every level?  In six or seven years will we be wishing we didn't pass on the opportunity to hire Juwan Howard the way we passed on Harbaugh?

Anyway, from what I'm reading on the board, Billy Donovan seems to be the most desirable candidate at the moment.  But I really hope the athletic department seriously considers another JH.

I keep reading that safety…

I keep reading that safety from NJ's name as Jorah Mormont.  Must have GOT on the brain.

Yep, lol.  But you could say

Yep, lol.  But you could say the same for every coach at every school at this level of competition.  At least the smart ones.  

Heard today Wiscy LB Jack

Heard today Wiscy LB Jack Cichy has a torn ACL and is out for the season.  Does Seth (or others who lose a player for the season) get a compensatory pick?

Embarrassment of Riches

A lot of mgofans seem concerned about the cornerback position.  Specifically, they seem to be dissappointed that Hill and Long haven't locked down the starting spots.  Don Brown seems to see it not as a knock on Hill and Long, but more of an embarrassment of riches.

Besides Hill and Long, it sounds like Keith Washington has really grown into a quality player.  I'm also really rooting for Drake Harris.  He was a highly touted recruit that just never seemed to live up to his potential at wide receiver.  If he can stay healthy and earn significant playing time at cornerback this year, I will be very happy for him.

Right.  Armies and fleets are

Right.  Armies and fleets are moving all over Westeros fighting battles and sieges galore, except the army of the dead.  They should've been through the wall and South to Dorne and back by now.  Yet the Night King seems to be just dawdling about waiting for John Snow to travel back and forth from Dragon Stone to get dragon glass to make weapons to fight him with.

Anyway, still great episode.  Love the twists and turns of fortune.  Can't wait to see how this wraps up in the next few episodes.

Wtf was that?

I clicked your link hoping to see a projected depth chart heading into the fall.  Your link led to a page of dozens of links to 6-20 minute YouTube videos.  Was I supposed to watch each one and read between the lines of coach-speak and player interviews in order to deduce a mental picture of a depth chart?

#28 for Deron Irving-Bey and #31 for Phillip Paea seem strange to me.  Big defensive lineman should wear big numbers.  Like in the 90's somewhere.  Loved Wormley, but never got used to his number either.

I somewhat agree with you.

I somewhat agree with you.  Five stars and high four stars are generally going to prove to be great prospects.  But as we all know, Harbaugh sees the world differently.  His board is different than than those at Scout, Rivals etc.  Look at his track record at Stanford and how many two and three star kids he put in the NFL.

Wow, didn't know any of that.

Wow, didn't know any of that.  Thanks.  Looks like ND could be in for another rough season.  They play #3 USC, #12 Stanford and #20 Miami plus what could be another 3-4 tossup games.

Lol @ the "secret visit" part.  This is why I love college football recruiting.  Guess I'll stay optimistic on Simon.

I wonder if we had room for

I wonder if we had room for Shayne Simon?  This is going to be a much smaller class and we did take 3-4 linebackers last class (Ross, Singleton, Anthony, Mason).  With Otis Reese already on board and it sounds like we are in great shape with Cameron McGrone, maybe the staff just couldn't promise him a spot at this time.

Any idea where it is sold?  I live in the Northeast and had never heard of it until opening the link.  From the title and the OP I thought they were talking about Big Red gum.

Love his highlights at linebacker (Alim McNeill) but this kid would be a "destroyer of worlds" at fullback for a Harbaugh/Drevno offense.

By the way, love the Antione "the Judge" Joubert nom de plume.  Joubert and Gary "the General" Grant were my all time favorite Michigan guard combo until Tim and Trey came along a few years back.

Love that clip.  Everitt really wanted to hit him but probably held back because he didn't want to give that little jock-sniffer the free publicity.

Won't be able to call it a fluke when Caris Levert goes in the top 10 next year.

I think we are going to have a really good defense this year.  Especially the back seven.  Not sure if Jabrill will win the Heisman, but maybe in another year or two.

Can't comment on Justified but I loved Timothy Oliphant in Deadwood.

Yeah, no GoT really sucks.

Yeah, no GoT really sucks.  But a couple of new shows I've been watching and am now really into are Penny Dreadful (Sunday nights) and Salem (Thursday nights).  And I too am looking forward to The Leftovers and Strain based on the trailers I've seen.

Hmmmn, interesting news but

Hmmmn, interesting news but seems to contradict other recruiting.... It sounded like we were recruiting Hjalte Froholdt (who is an interior lineman) pretty hard up until he committed to Arkansas.  I wonder what changed?

Wow, so much negativity.  I

Wow, so much negativity.  I bet at least one of these guys turns into a great receiver eventually.  And I bet at least one of them sees significant playing time this year, not just on special teams.  I know not every recruit is going to be a stud, but I would be very surprised if all three of them turned out to be busts.

As bluekoj said, there is almost nothing to go on at this point.  Lets give them a chance before we just write off the entire 2013 receiver class.

Rorschach Test

After reading the above comments, I'm now convinced the NFL draft is the perfect Rorschach test for Michigan fans.  The optimists see the silver lining and the haters see confirmation that the coaches suck.

I'd be really pissed if I

I'd be really pissed if I were the security guard.  He suffered a vicious attack for simply doing his job.  If it were me, I'd want Jayru Campbell to receive the full wrath of the law (as a minor, not the bs where they often find some loophole to charge kids as adults), not some slap on the wrist.

Counciling and anger management classes.....what a joke.

I have no problem holding the

I have no problem holding the coaching staff accountable.  But I absolutely insist that we give them a few years to rebuild first, then fire 'em if they aren't getting the job done.

I'm not sure RR was the best for Michigan but I definitely don't want his replacement to be run out of town before he even has a chance to field a decent team.  And I don't want to be in a 20 year cycle of rebuilding like Notre Dame.

Seems like stability to the

Seems like stability to the program arrived with Hoke.  I hope we actually follow through and give him a chance to rebuild the program.  Otherwise we will be rebuilding for another 3-4 years if we get rid of him after this year.

Yep GoT and Walking Dead are

Yep GoT and Walking Dead are great.  I also am absolutely loving the first two episodes of Turn on AMC so far.  Another good one that I just watched is the first season of Black Sails (on Starz).  And Vikings (History Channel) is pretty awesome too if you haven't seen that yet.

I've heard some people say that The Black List is good.  I liked the first few episodes but it got silly when every week they catch a new super-criminal/terrorist.  I don't really like one hour self contained shows anymore.  Instead I prefer the series format.

And yeah, Project Free TV is the best.

I'm surprised no programs have offered to let star recruits design the team uniforms as an incentive to come to their school.  Or maybe we just haven't heard about it?

It says the University of Michigan is 2.67 times more influential than Ohio State University, 3.43 times more influential than Michigan State University and is 2.94 times more influential than the Univerisity of Notre Dame.  Clearly this must be true.
