Michigan Camp News and a Big Ten Network Update

• Here is a recap from Scouts Michigan Camp Report: Mississippi DT Josh Boyd preformed on Sunday and showed a ton of quickness. Getting a Boyd commit would be huge for RR and Staff since DT and DE is a huge current need, current verbal commit JT Turner also was in camp on Sunday and looked thin and showed a lot of speed. Looks like the question for JT is whether he is a better fit at corner or Safety, Michigan HS running back Zurelon Tipton seemed to have caught the eye of RR but is considered a sleeper for an offer, coming in today is Safety Dennis Thames the cousin of Tiger outfielder Marcus Thames. Guys that came in before camp include: The Beaver: Texas QB commit Shavodrick Beaver , Vegas DE Keenan Graham (6-4, 215), Indianapolis OL Zack Martin (6-5, 280) , and Ill. OT Michael Schofield (6-6, 275). There is also some news on some underclassmen preforming well if your interested in the entire article.
• The Chicago Tribune is reporting that The Big Ten Network and Comcast are very close to settling their impasse and adding the BTN to their lineup. The BTN would end up in an expanded digital tier and include Standard Def and High Def channels.

  "For all intents and purposes, it's done," The Tribune quotes one source as saying.

  No news on the status of the BTN coming to the "for sale" TimeWarner Cable.

I know many of you don't read this blog for Golf updates, but we truly have a win/win situation today at the US Open. Tiger Woods one of (if not the) greatest golfers of all time vs Rocco Mediate one of the great guys of all time. Golf fans hopefully will be treated to a bonus day of great theater that couldn't possibly top the weekend. Tiger Woods basically on one leg willing himself to win, while the "happy to be here" Rocco is playing golf like it should be and savoring every moment. If you get a chance today, set your DVR or turn your TV on at work and watch as this real life Joe vs The Pro as it plays out on live TV. It all starts at noon on ESPN then is picked up by NBC on the back nine. No matter what happens, the winner will deserve it and it will go down as a legendary US Open. Enjoy!
