I know all of you Big House Blog Inmates love some good walk-on news. The latest is Saline LB Chris Terech has accepted a preferred walk-on spot with the Wolverines. Chris has some Ivy League offers and one from Davidson but was offered walk-on spots from Northwestern and Michigan. Chris has only been playing LB since his junior year but lead the State of Michigan in tackles last year. “It’s really a dream come true,” Terech said. “I had all these amazing opportunities, but when it came down to it -- I have a world-class Division 1 program 15 minutes away from my house with one of the greatest football coaches in the world. How could I pass that up?” The rumor that Jimmy wants him to play QB is clearly not true.
- 5 star LB Caleb Kelly enjoyed his visit to Ann Arbor last weekend: “I think it was a little bit better than I thought it would be. I didn’t think that all of the coaches would be laid back. I thought they’d be kind of stuck up… that Coach Harbaugh would be pretty stuck up and not trying to hang out with his players. They were real cool guys that you could just hang out with. Just normal people.” Caleb has offers from everyone and will make a signing day decision, so getting him back on campus for an official will be important.
- Don't forget Iowa transfer QB Jake Rudock is expected on campus this week.
- Elvis Grbac and Lloyd Carr spoke to the team after practice yesterday.
- So UCLA killed it on signing day and grabbed a few Michigan prospects and now they are being investigated for recruiting violations. Interesting.......................
- John Baxter spoke to the media yesterday and I found a couple interesting things. He opened the press conference with this: "There's a lot of good news. We get paid to coach a kids' game. We wear the clothes to work that you'd wear to cut the lawn, and we get paid really good to have a lot of fun so good every day." ---- Jimmy didn't have John recruit after he was hired, instead he stayed home and implemented his academic system called The Champions Program ----- John is working with kickers on their fundamentals and not even allowing them to kick fields goals, he is having them kick in the nets. My take: It sure is refreshing to have someone actually teach special teams and not consider it an after thought.

I have seen John Baxter at Fresno State and have heard him speak about his Academic Gameplan. I think Michigan will benefit from his teaching on and off the football field.
The ideas are very nice about short term accommodations Michigan. We get the best information regarding short term accommodations Michigan.
