Michigan Friday: Mixing Blue with Green

It's not very often a former Wolverine works for Michigan State Football.  Thomas Wilcher a former Michigan Football Player and the famous head coach of Cass Tech took a job on Mel Tucker's staff a few years ago.  The Michigan Football community had mixed emotions about the hire. It's great that a high school coach gets a shot at Big Ten Football but it's Michigan State. 


Michigan is also an offender in this rivalry hiring.  Jimmy hired Dan Enos for 18 minutes one day before he jumped ship to another program.  Dan is famous for leaving jobs for other positions very quietly, reportedly Dan left Alabama for another gig by not showing up to a Saban staff meeting.  I would have loved to have heard an FBI wiretap at that meeting.  Stay Classy Mr. Enos.  

Reports out of East Lansing is that Thomas Wilcher is no longer with MSU.  Which clearly leads me to believe he was a double agent spying on MSU for the good of Wolverine Nation.  

The internet tells me with you mix Blue with Green you get the color Cyan.  Which means that Thomas's next stop is Tulane.   😃

  • Remember the recruitment of Dorian Thompson-Robinson?  He is now in this year's NFL Draft.
  • XFL vs. USFL this weekend.  If you like football, April is the month for you!! Names in the USFL you might recognize: Big Willie Henry, Delano Hill, and Channing Stribling. 
  • New official visit rules go into effect this August where prospects now can take more than 5 visits, but just 1 per program.  The schools can only have 56 official visitors a year, which did not change.  Yes, if there is a coaching change you can take 2 to that school.  
  • 2024 4-star Edge Dominic Nichols just spent 3 days in A2 and has already booked an offical visit to come back.  He has 100% CB's to Penn State
  • 2024 4-star TE Max LeBlanc is down to Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio State and Tennessee, with a commitment expected in the next few weeks

DTR is a guy I wouldn't mind the Lions taking later in the draft. If I'm taking a developmental guy, I'm not taking him in the 1st round. There's only 2 QBs that I believe are legit top 10 talents: Bryce Young and CJ Stroud. Both has ?s, Young his height, and Stroud how good is he w/o elite WRs. I don't like Levitt, he's got Kenny Pickett written all over him, and Anthony Richardson has issues with accuracy. Look someone's going to take a flyer on Richardson and he's either going to be a homerun or a bust and out of football in 4 years. As far as the Leo's I'm not drafting a 1st rd QB to sit behind Goff for a year. If I'm sitting a guy for a year or so, he's going to be a later in the draft guy.
