Michigan Tuesday: Another Howard and a Transfer to Rutgers

Jace Howard made it official last night, as he will be joining his father for the 2020 class.   Jace is an athletic forward at 6'7 and 205 pounds.   He is rated 3 stars to all basketball recruiting services and 24/7 places him at #250 in country.

At this point we don't know if its a scholarship or a walk-on and probably depends on if Todd goes overseas and Josh Christopher's decision.  I expect Jace to redshirt and maybe sit a few years with a stacked roster full of forwards: including Wagner, Johns, Livers, Williams (Fr), and Todd (Fr.).

Welcome Big Man!

Feels like an inside job, when Mike Dwumfour made a quick decision to transfer back home to Rutgers .  Insiders are saying this was a joint decision between the Michigan coaches and Mike to look for a new place for his graduate transfer year.   He will leave with his Michigan degree and maybe even a graduate degree from Rutgers, which is a great way to take advantage of his educational opportunity.

We wish Mike all the best and hope he can stay healthy.  '

  • Transfer season: QB Franks goes from Florida to Arkansas 

  • Transfer season: QB King goes from Houston to Miami 

  • Kerry Coombs is heading back to Ohio State as the DC after coaching the Titans DB's.  What's interesting, I have not seen any reports that its a co-DC role with Greg Mattison.

From all that I have read and heard is that once Jace was offered, the possibility of him being a walk-on no longer existed.

I also found the Madsen situation interesting. Did he just get screwed or is this what he wants.....less responsibility in his old age. He could have had that at UM. Cockeyes didn't offer him that much more $ so it wasn't about the cash. That leaves the thought that maybe Madsen was done with Jimmy and Brown.
