Michigan Monday: Evans and DPJ News

  • Chris Evans has been suspended from the University for 1 year.   There was some hope he would be back for fall camp which is now not possible.  I hope he continues taking online classes and working out and rejoins the team early next year.   

  • There was good news out of the weekend.  Coach Gattis says that DPJ is now 100%.  There was some fear he could miss the start of the season.  That is great news and I hope coach can get him integrated into the offense.  

  • Michigan's Baseball team was having a good weekend in the NCAA Tournament until last night in the 9th when they gave up 7 runs.   They will play Creighton in an elimination game today. 

  • There are reports out of Philadelphia that the Phil Martelli to Michigan's Basketball staff is a done deal.  This would be a great basketball hire for Juwan.   No word yet on Mike Miller or Howard Eisley (who would be great recruiting Detroit).   Juwan has 2 spots open on his staff. 

  • There continues to be transfer rumors around WR Oliver Martin.  He was pictured with his Michigan teammates at a Buffalo Wild Wings this weekend.  I can see both sides of this decision, Michigan is very deep at WR right now and Oliver seems like a guy that just needs to see the field more.   I still hope he stays as I think he could be a great WR.  Update: Sam Webb is reporting this morning that Oliver isn't going anywhere. 

  • The Summer Football Camps have started and the Michigan staff was in Grand Rapids at Grand Valley this weekend working with roughly a 1000 kids in attendance.

Even though coach Howard Eisley would be a good recruiter. I really think Michigan will benefit more with coach Mike Miller joining the staff. Coach Miller is known for offense and a great developer of talent. I hope we land coach Miller. If some how we can get coach Eisley on the staff, that would be huge!

Bob I think we seen the last of Chris Evans. Sad but my gut feelings tell me, he will transfer out eventually......

You might be right about Chris Evans, we will see. He has been out of school for awhile, I wonder if his suspension would actually be up in 6 months in January or Feb.?

I think that the "fear" that DPJ would miss next season is just some Michigan fans unnecessarily freaking out.

Coach Phil Martell confirmed he is coming to Michigan.
