Cell Block News and Notes: Animal Edition



  • Catching up with George the Animal Steele.

  • Here is Rivals Big Ten Preview. Same old stuff, different article.
    Biggest Postion Battle: Michigan: Mike Hart made tailback a position of strength, but he's gone and several guys are vying for the job. Kevin Grady(who is returning from injury), Brandon Minor (once a four-star prospect) and Carlos Brown (who reportedly is also taking snaps at quarterback) are the most likely candidates to replace Hart, at least until the freshmen arrive in August. 5 players that could emerge: Michigan WR Greg Mathews: Though not a speed demon, he has tremendous hands. He caught 39 passes in 2007, and his production should increase dramatically as he elevates to starter status as a junior. 5 Newcomers: Michigan QB Steven Threet: A former four-star prospect, the strong-armed redshirt freshman is the odds-on favorite to emerge as the Wolverines' starting quarterback. Threet signed with Georgia Tech in 2007 and enrolled early, but he left after spring ball. Incoming freshman quarterback Justin Feagin is a rushing threat who may be a better fit in Rodriguez's offense, but Feagin won't arrive until August.

  • WVU wants to get the RR suit completed by this summer.
  • Mike Hart not concerned about his time in the 40. He also has some feedback on RR from Ryan Mundy.
