Michigan Friday: Big Will - Little Trouble

I won't restate the journey that Big Will has been on.  We all know it too well.

Big Well didn't help his Michigan legacy by getting arrested April 7th for being drunk and sliding across the hood of a car.  An officer was nearby and heard the metal bending under his 322 body and arrested him.  Will is facing one felony and one misdemeanor charge of malicious destruction of property.  I expect the felony to be dropped and maybe just a misdemeanor charge left.  Will's status with the team has not changed.

  • Commitment Watch:  Maurice Hurst, Jr. will be visiting Ann Arbor this weekend.  He is a 4 star DT prospect to Scouts from Westwood, MA.   He has offers from OSU, NC, Nebraska, MSU, BC and others.   He is 6'2 and 280 pounds.   Michigan is looking to take two DT's in this class.  The wish list is Mr. Hurst and Mr. Poggi. 

  • Coach Hoke stopped by Kettering, Ohio where he grew up and dropped some knowledge: “I think really in about three years you’ll see four super conferences, and I think the Big East will go away and maybe the ACC. But look, I’m just a coach. I don’t know all of it.”----On local products Kaleb Ringer and Roy Roundtree: (Kaleb)“He had a great spring. He had over a 3.0 (GPA). He did a great job from the academic side of it. He did a nice job of learning the defense. He was awesome. I think he can be in the mix (for playing time).” (Roy) “He’s doing great. He’s going to wear No. 21 in honor of (Heisman Trophy winner) Desmond Howard. It’s a big deal. Desmond is fired up. Roy is fired up. And I’m fired up.”

  • OSU is looking to get out of it's contract with Georgia in 2020 and 2021 due to the Big Ten moving to 9 games and the new contract with the PAC 10.

  • If you ever have to wonder if Brady Hoke is the right coach for Michigan, read this ESPN story about the seniors trip to California for SEALS training.  What a great idea and I am glad the NCAA allowed it.

  • OSU fan that offered $2000 to take out LTT on twitter has apologized and donated $2000 to U of M.

The guy who put the bounty out on a 17 year old kid should be in jail. Not making donations. He should be using that money for bail.
