Michigan Friday: Pro Day and Coaches Coming and Going

My expectation is that there will be a ton of NFL executives in Ann Arbor today for Michigan's Pro Day to watch JJ and all the draft eligible Wolverines participate in drills.  Jim will be attending with Jessie Minter and Ben Herbert. 7 NFL Head Coaches and 9 GM's are expected to attend as well.  Plus a ton other NFL OC's, DC's, and other position coaches.  Update: Matt Miller from ESPN says he expects there are 150+ NFL Personnel at today's Pro Day. 

JJ is probably the most discussed QB on ESPN right now as NFL team decide if he is a top 5 pick or a lock for Minnesota at 11.  I'm truly biased but I watched a lot of Caleb Williams and didn't watch Heisman winner Jayden Daniels at all, I think JJ makes the best decisions out of any of them.  Good Luck to all the guys today and I hope everyone's stock goes up!

Michigan's Athletic Department must be paying a ton of money for background checks on all the coaches they have been hiring lately.  

The news breaks on Greg Scruggs arrest and he immediately resigns his position.  There are two candidates that come top of mind to fill that role.  #1 is Illinois Terrance Jamison was supposedly the runner up to Greg Scruggs a few months ago.  Fan and program favorite Ryan Osborn who was very popular on staff a few years ago and is currently with the Ravens as a defensive line assistant coach.   Who doesn't love a Ravens defensive assistant?

Kayli Johnson is joining Michigan Football as its new Director of On-Campus Recruiting. Kayli is a former Spartan and brother of #2 Will Johnson.

  • Oakland upsets Kentucky in Round 1 last night.  Congrats! Greg Kampe candidate for the Michigan gig?
  • This is late but DPJ re-signed with the Lions and with them losing WR's to free agency he might get more playing time next season.

No on Kampe! I have personal reasons, but beyond that: he's 68 years old, its not like OU is a perennial tournament team or Horizon league champion. OU has a flukey offense around a guy that looks more like wrestler than a basketball player. And Calipari's Kentucky teams are known to be underachievers and I really think they took it for granted that they'd beat the Grizzlies.

As an OU alum did I find myself rooting for my alma mater even though I dislike the coach? GUILTY!

With the diluted talent in college basketball, ANYTHING can happen now in March Madness! GO GRIZZLIES! (I attended, but graduated elsewhere)

Just shows you how Oakland used the portal effectively. Jack Gohlke transfered from Hillsdale, where he shot 40% from behind the arc, to Oakland where he broke shooting records. Hey Juwan, the kid was right in your backyard! Where were your transfers?? Gohlke was definitely better than anything Michigan had. Smh

Brady,

Would I like to see Mikey S in Honolulu Blue and Silver? sure, but the Lions need is an outside CB, Mikey is more of a slot CB. The Lions already signed a slot CB in Amik Robertson

Chowman- Yes, Lions need a Kool Aid McKinstry or Cooper DeJean, but I know Mikey is going to have an impact. He's a pitbull. Not too many DBs with a bigger heart than his.

Lions released Cam Sutton, so there's a need now at DB.
