Michigan Tuesday: The Sub Emerges For a Day

Fall Camp

Jimmy likes to keep things behind closed doors and Fall Camp aka the Michigan Submarine has been submerged for a few weeks now.   Yesterday, the Big Ten Network came by for their annual visit and Jimmy pulled the sub up and let a few cameras in practice.   He even talked to the network, which is a rare occurrence.


I watched the BTN TV show and have followed a few notes on Twitter.   Here is my takes on the most important bullet points from the day:

• Each player was required to show its full inventory of shoes and it was complete and 100%.  No suspensions are expected for Shoe-gate.  Well done guys!
• Players looked bigger and stronger from last year
• The offense line looks better in drills but did struggle a bit against one of the best defenses in the country.
• Jimmy would like to name a starter at QB "sooner rather then later"
• Jimmy would not discuss Maryland and DJ Durkin
• Jon Runyan was getting first team snaps at LT
• The defense is crazy good and fast
• Overall run game looks better

Nothing ground breaking and it was nice to see Shea Patterson throw a few balls in practice video. 


The rumor mill is spinning that Elysse Mbem-Bosse who left the program last winter is a former player who sold his shoes.

• Derrick Walton has signed an NBA contract with the Chicago Bulls.  Congrats Derrick!  (its not a 2-way deal with the G-League like he signed with the Heat last year, its regular NBA contract).
