Michigan Thursday: New QB and Spring Game Roster

The Jake Rudock news happening on April 1st, made we wonder how accurate it really was.   It's legit and Michigan will have starter next year that has started two years in the Big Ten and throws way more TD's then INT's.   I think Jake is more Alex Smith then Aaron Rogers but I will take a guy all day that executes the offense and rarely makes a mistake.    This gives all the scholarship QB's a chance to get another year in the Harbaugh's offense and a chance to learn.    What to do with Shane Morris now becomes a question mark?   Do you keep him at #2 and expect him to play full time as a senior?  Or do you give him a much needed redshirt year and prepare him to play for two more years.  

On a side note, Jimmy seems very open when it comes to transfers.   I have never seen anything like this.   Michigan now has taken two transfer QB's, a defensive back, and maybe a transfer punter.    Not to mention they still maybe in the market for a transfer center as well.   BTW a name BHB Inmates might remember is California WR Devin Lucien who Brady Hoke turned down as a WR in a time when Michigan needed WR's, is looking to transfer from UCLA.   I doubt Michigan has any interest but it's crazy to think how that could come full circle.  Some message boards thought it might be an option if the Drake Harris injury is more serious then expected.

Above are the Maize and Blue teams for the Spring Game on Saturday.   Mgoblog has also taken a shot at depth chart at positions as well.  If you want to see the full roster list, it's up at Mgoblue.

Also missing seems to be the rush defensive ends, where is Taco and Ojemudia?

It's also good to see Drake Harris got drafted after all the rumors we have heard about his hamstrings the last week or so.   It will be fun to have a real Spring Game and see Coach roaming the sideline in the Big House for the first time.   I hope the weather is decent. 

I'm also interested in seeing our RB's and Ty Issac for the first time in a Michigan jersey.
