Michigan Monday: A Commit and a Trip to The CWS!

Congratulations to the Michigan's Baseball team for beating UCLA 4-2 last night and punching their ticket to the CWS for the first time in 35 years!  The Wolverines now get to face Texas Tech, who ironically knocked the basketball team out in the Sweet 16.   Go Blue and Good Luck in Omaha!

Michigan Football also received a commitment from a 3 star TE out of Virginia Matt Hibner.   Matt is a bit under the radar as he is ranked the 1012 player and #42 TE in the nation to 24/7.   The Michigan coaches saw something they liked and offered him a couple of weeks ago.   Matt doesn't lack in size and is 6'4 and 230 pounds.

His offer list was full of academic schools like: Harvard, Brown, Army, Air Force, Colombia, Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, Colombia. Arizona State, Georgia Tech, NC State, Vandy, VT, Pitt, Rutgers, Princeton, etc.

Let's put out the Welcome Matt!

  • In terrible news, it seems Charles Matthews has torn his ACL during a workout with the Boston Celtics and won't be able to participate in the NBA Season.   This is awful news, weeks before the draft where he was projected as the 60th player taken.  I don't know if he can now, but he should consider coming back to U of M and entering the draft next year.  He could rehab maybe play in February?

So sad to hear Charles ACL news. From the reports he was being mentioned as one of the best defensive players in the draft. I think he could have been a high 2nd round or late 1st round. He reminds me of Danny Green from the raptors. Strong defensively and a good spot up shooter. More athletic than Green though. I think Charles will do really well in the NBA once he gets there.
