This is mega news and notes today as there seems to be a lot of information in the wind about the Wolverines Football and Basketball programs.   Cristian Dixon hit the portal after the WR to CB didn't work out.  He was a 4-star WR that never worked out.  Michigan needs a WR in the portal for an offense that just lost a top NFL Draft pick (probably) and doesn't want money.  That is going to be hard to find. Good luck to Cristian at his next stop.  Michigan has offered a DT in the portal from Kent State who is from the same Illinois HS as JJ and Tyler Morris.&nbs ..read more

Jim Harbaugh bought a kid a cheeseburger during COVID 4 years ago.  He didn't recall that purchase when the NCAA asked him about it. The NCAA found a receipt for said cheeseburger and now we are here.  So 4 years after the cheeseburger crime, The NCAA has put Michigan Football program on a 3 year probation, given 5 coaches Level 2 Show Clause, some recruiting restrictions, and a fine.  Everyone agreed to these terms except Jim Harbaugh who is now in the NFL and could care less about NCAA and its cheeseburger rules.  By the way, nobody cares.  This was a blip in sports ..read more

Warde needs to consider giving the Michigan coaches and staff another job benefit.  An Uber account that they can use anytime.  A few weeks ago, newly hired DL coach Greg Scruggs was arrested for driving under the influence then resigned.  Now Denard Robinson has also been arrested for the same thing and got into an accident.  I feel terrible for the Michigan legend and also mad at him.  It is so easy getting an Uber or a Lyft when your out drinking or entertaining.  He is a Michigan legend and probably doesn't have to buy many drinks when he is out.  Having ..read more

Sports news is usually pretty slow mid-week.  That is why Mel Kiper's Mock Draft boards always show up on a Wednesday, so all the ESPN talking heads have something to discuss.   Today is no different.   The biggest Michigan news is former Wolverine Youssef Khayat has picked Bowling Green as his next destination.  He was rated the #406 overall player and 65th small forward in the portal.  Khayat played in 26 games in two years as a Wolverine averaged 1.4 points and 1.1 rebounds with an average o 6 minutes per game.   Speaking of Mel Kiper's mock dr ..read more

Michigan Basketball is trying to rebuild from a failed experiment with one of its former stars.  Now, I don't 100% blame Juwan for Michigan's failure on the hardwood.  Admissions and lack of NIL resources also needs to own some of the failure.   What did we see on the court last night from UConn?  A number of players that executed in the system and no superstars.  They have a 7 footer to protect the rim, they run strong offensive sets with motion/movement, and they defend.  They don't have a KD or Melo to handle the load of the work, they play as a team in t ..read more

Michigan is doing an overhaul of its biggest programs.  Football reached the summit and then lost a majority of its coaching staff.  Basketball lost a ton of games, lost its coaching staff and most of its players.   Both programs have new head coaches and basketball needs a complete rebuild.   Let's hope its not a "total eclipse of our hearts" ?? Michigan is now rumored to be landing FAU Center Vlad Goldin.  This would be a nice addition.  Vlad has been getting better year over year.  He still plays a bit stiff and needs to improve from the line bu ..read more

I think we should.  The buzz out of Spring Ball is that the defense is dominating the offense.  That Michigan's defensive line and LB core are stifling the offense line and pressuring any QB that Michigan puts up there.   In the end, I think Michigan's offense line will be fine, not too many opponents will have 2 NFL 1st rounders on it.  Michigan is solid at TE and RB.  The issue is with the passing game, Orji is more of a runner then passer.  Davis I'm sure is talented but still young and inexperienced, Warren looked really good in a Spring Game a couple ye ..read more

Dusty has been super busy since he took the Michigan job.  He has been working the portal, recruits, and trying to build his staff.   He has one staff member already in with former Oklahoma State head coach Mike Boyton and now he has added another in Georgia assistant Akeem Miskdeen. Akeem coached with Dusty at Florida and FAU before taking the Georgia gig.  He comes with two upsides, 1 - he knows Dusty and his system and 2-he has a great relationship with former Michigan committed recruit Khani Rooths.  Who Dusty watched at an IMG practice this week.   Now ..read more

There seems to be quite a lot of new faces coaching the National Champions and running Michigan's Basketball program.   Dusty has to build a staff and a roster.   Sherrone has his staff finally in place and now has to recruit and hit the portal for a WR and DB or 2!  Speaking of the portal - Former Wolverine TE Matthew Hibner has selected SMU as his next school.  Congrats Matt and good luck in Dallas.   Dusty is set to meet with Yale transfer center Danny Wolf, who is a 7 footer that averaged 14 points and 9.7 boards per.   FAU is now in ..read more

Michigan fans did not like that BJM was here for one bad year (2020) and then bolted to another gig at Tennessee.  Brian was known as a very good LB coach and an elite recruiter.   Things the Wolverine staff needed at the time.   It seems BJM really didn't want to leave either: "Even when I left, I told the guys I felt like the 2020 season was an incomplete part of my coaching career just because of COVID and the way things went," Jean-Mary said. "Even though leaving and going to another program, still felt a little bit of an attachment to the University of Michigan ..read more
