Long Gone: Redshirt Freshman Offensive Lineman Dann O'Neill has left the Michigan Football program. Per Mgoblog; it's unclear if he plans to transfer or quit football all together. The "word" on O'Neil was, a great frame but needs a ton of work. Dan had zero shot at playing time in the fall and was not on the 2-deep depth chart.
My take: this isn't a killer loss for the Wolverines, he wasn't going to see time in 2009 and would have been a project to see time as an upper class man. He either didn't want to put in the work associated with being a D1 starter at a major program or plans to try football at another school. Michigan has showed good signs on the offensive line with the developments of Barnum, Khoury, and Omameh but will have some depth problems if the Wolverines have injury issues.
- Tate's brother to Furman: Chris Forcier a redshirt QB from UCLA is heading to Furman to play QB. Since Furman is a D1AA school he can play right away.
- Kelvin Grady Walking On or on Scholarship? I'm not sure it matters since Michigan seems to have a few hundred open scholarships, but the Ann Arbor News states he is walking on. I'm sure RR and Staff will hand out the remaining scholarships to the deserving players. MgoBlog today also mentions that Terrance Robinson is reportedly having some trouble catching the ball. So the new "KG" might be a good fit.
- The Michigan basketball team will take on UConn at home Sunday, Jan. 17, at Crisler Arena. Manny and the boys are going to be playing a difficult schedule next year. More media attention for sure.
