We lost a friend yesterday. Craig did a lot for us. They have a GoFundMe set up to help support his wife and son.
Things Discussed:
Michigan at the Combine: People who watch the games love the Michigan guys; stats people don't.
JJ looks like a first rounder. If (Will Johnson: "when") Sainristil runs under 4.5 he's going to move up too. Lions love having this program down the road because they draft on personality, and they know they can trust the guys who come out of this program...
We lost a friend yesterday. Craig did a lot for us. They have a GoFundMe set up to help support his wife and son.
Things Discussed:
- Michigan at the Combine: People who watch the games love the Michigan guys; stats people don't.
- JJ looks like a first rounder. If (Will Johnson: "when") Sainristil runs under 4.5 he's going to move up too. Lions love having this program down the road because they draft on personality, and they know they can trust the guys who come out of this program are their kinds of guys. Also they can get in all these extra meetings.
- Everybody's moved up: Wilson blew up at the senior bowl, Keegan's moving up, Zinter's leg is in better shape, Sainristil, McCarthy, Corum…
- JJ vs other QBs: Williams seemed to wilt when his team did; you know JJ isn't built that way. Seth: Bust factor for QBs has as much to do with which franchise drafts you and how they bring you along.
- Portal closed: Sabb was a loss but Michigan is virtually intact from the departure of Jim Harbaugh; well done Sherrone and staff.
- QB competition update, Sam says Orji is the leader—he has to have the passing accuracy—but there's not going to be a lock until the portal closes. Denegal most improved. Seth: Leak/Tebow set up. Plan is redshirt Jadyn Davis (he and coaches both have this plan), Davis Warren was hurt but seems out of the conversation?
- WR: They need to get size in the portal. Don't sleep on Tyler Morris.
- Who's your best lineup? It's Edwards and Mullings and Loveland on the field.
- Hockey: Pythagorean W/L shows they're a good team, but they've struggled to finish weekends. Swept ND put them in 14th, which is minimum to get in the Tournament. Need a good weekend in Minnesota to get in as an at-large; if they win Friday and get more points than Minnesota on Saturday they move past them in B10 standings and get Penn State in the BTT. Bad weekend and they need to get to the championship round of the BTT.
- Reasons? Transition to Naurato damaged recruiting, injuries, lost their goalie to MSU hiring the goalie's dude.
- Officiating has been a big part of the story. Lost Hallum for the year and McGroarty for a long time on non-called penalties. Uncanny calls were the only thing keeping ND in Saturday's game. It is appalling how this team has been officiated, and it's a big reason they're in the place they are.
- Football defensive staff? Michigan is taking their time with background checks. After Stalions, Shemy, Shoop, Weiss…
(RIP) Speaking of RIP,
- Craig Roh: Was a big reason we had anything to cheer about in the years between the titles. See GoFundMe above.
