Jimmy had his first press conference for the new season after 1 day of Spring Practice. He seemed excited to get back to football and really seemed excited for his new team. Mentioned how happy he is with the RB's and DL many times.
- Things we will see differently for Michigan Offense is Tempo - less huddling
- Christian Turner is stepping up and looks great, Haskins is back at RB full time
- Zach Charbonnet came in needing minor knee surgery and will be out Spring Practice. They knew he needed it and the staff wanted him to do it in Ann Arbor.
- Really impressed by the early enrollees - knocking down the door for workouts in the morning
- Chris Evans could work his way back on the team
- Excited to have Mike Danna coming in
- Ben Mason will play RB, DL, TE and FB want him on the field as much as possible. Would like Ben to be in 60-70 plays a game.
- Mayfield and Stueber are competing at RT
- Josh Ross, Gill, McGrone, and Anthony looking to replace Devin Bush
- Hill, Nico Collins, DPJ, are not practicing right now with injuries. One guy on the team has mono.
- Kemp, Jeter, were called out as really playing well.
- Shaun Nua has DL running very well.
- Dylan McCaffrey is back to 100%. Shea, Dylan, and Joe getting all equal reps. That is the depth chart as well.
- Josh Gattis will coordinate the offense and call the plays
- Was surprised by Greg's departure, but doubled his salary and he won't be sending him a Christmas Card. Still a good man and will be friends when they are retired from coaching.
-As rumored, 5th year DL Reuben Jones announced his transfer yesterday. QB Brandon Peters is also expected to transfer after spring ball. Purdue is rumored to be his next school.

Without a doubt Peters is gone....
With Jones leaving we are 9 over the limit of 85...
That included Evans
Lil' things
*McCaffrey and *Reuben; I'm a stickler about names because I always feel if we're going to talk about someone we should at least get their name correct. I'm always glad for the current info summary your site provides.
I am feeling that Coach Harbaugh's coaching moves are more shrewd than we may have realized. Think about this, Greg Mattison knows the Michigan offensive and the student personnel very well. osu wanted to gain some insight into their hated rivals' scheme and of course with Mattison having practiced against them and the Michigan scheme osu would feel that they had a definite advantage.
Then comes Harbaugh releasing Pep Hamilton and signing Josh Gattis as the new OC and it neutralizes the Mattison effect. osu has to start from scratch like all of the other teams out there.
Plus, I have no doubt that coach Don Brown will reinvent his defense this year knowing that the book is now out there on how to attack it. IMHO!!!
