Its hard to root for OSU and MSU but they both had impressive wins last night and showed there is some talent in the Big Ten. Throw in Wisconsin's victory over Auburn and Jimmy coming to Michigan, I would say the Big Ten has had a very nice week in the eyes of the media and other Big Ten bashers. Maybe other leagues outside the SEC can play a little football.
- Greg Mattison return confirmed: Greg has been actively recruiting for Michigan this week which is a sign he will be on Jimmy's staff. This is great news! Stop and think for a minute having Jimmy and Tim Drevno running the offense/Oline and DJ Durkin and GMatt running the defense. This is going to be one great staff, when it's all said and done. I also love the recruiting possibilities as DJ and Greg are known as some of the best recruiters around. DJ was awarded Rivals Recruiter of the year in 2012.
- Sounds like Wheat coming home is still up in the air. His son who is a top 2015 TE/DE prospect no longer seems to be considering Michigan. I'm not sure if Ty is expected to stick with the Bills, go with Marrone to his next job or is seriously considering Michigan. Sam Webb should have something soon as they are pretty close. Marrone is rumored to be a serious candidate for the Jets and they are expected to met with him this weekend.
- Reports are that Roy Manning interviewed yesterday for a role on Jimmy's staff. He could fit anywhere from DE/OLB coach to even RB coach, a role that he had at Cincinnati. He is a really good recruiter and would like him stay in Ann Arbor. Roy seems like the only probable hold over with Mattison.
- I haven't seen anything on Andy Moeller so he might be sticking with the Browns. There are reports that Drevno might coach the Oline in Ann Arbor as well.
- Tim Morton is expected to be the WR coach but there hasn't been much buzz on him coming outside the Sacramento Bee report.
Recruiting seems to be going well for the first couple of days. It's still early for the Wolverines and Michigan has plenty of ground to make up in the next month. I expect a couple huge official visit weekends in January.
Enjoy the Weekend!

Would be nice to get Vince Marrow on board should find out today if they get him to leave UK
So I grew up a Michigan fan in Toledo, and actually went to Kentucky....funny, never thought I would have to deal with Michigan and Kentucky playing in basketball last year and then fighting over recruits and coaches in football.
Kentucky fans would HATE to see Marrow leave UK, but I think most would understand heading to Michigan. He is an awesome recruiting and is getting a good amount of Ohio kids to commit to UK. One UK blog that is very popular and connected is kentuckysportsradio.com. I will be checking here and there to see any news regarding Marrow's future.
Hey did anybody notice Josh Furman playing DB for Oklahoma State last night.....looks like a different kid than what was playing here, just saying.
That's what player development looks like U. Ron. Actually makes u wonder about mattison... Has his time in the NFL caused him to lose his touch in developing young talent? Hopefully today, after the Gators game ends, we'll get our new DC and one more piece of the puzzle in place.
GO Blue.
