Michigan Friday: What Might Have Been Final Results

The What Might Have Been Poll is closed and the people of Big House Nation have spoken.   KG would of had the biggest impact (52% of the votes) on Michigan athletics if decided to come to Ann Arbor and play a little basketball.   KG would have been a dominating force and maybe the best low post player to come out of Ann Arbor ever.   I'm sure he will enjoy this honor after his Celtics missed an opportunity to close out the Heat last night in Boston.

I thought KG would be #1 but Jeter #2.  The Big House Nation didn't agree and said Payton Manning would of had a larger impact receiving 27% of the votes.  Sit back a dream for a minute, the same college program producing Tom Brady and Payton Manning.   High school QB's would be lining up to play here. 

Jeter (13%) and Mateen Clevees (6%) rounded out the final two spots.  It seems nobody wants to revisit it their memory the Michigan SUV car crash that brought down the program.  Neither do I!

That was fun, I hope you enjoyed this little project.   One guy that almost made the list was Eagles WR DeSean Jackson who wanted to commit to Michigan at the Army All American game but was told the Wolverines were full at that position.   I think he might have ended up in Carr's doghouse once or twice. 

• Kickoff Times Set:  Air Force 3:30 ABC/ESPN and UMASS 3:30 BTN.  Looks like those noon kickoffs are dying a slow death.   Which I don't like.

• Brandon Graham is motivated for next years NFL season.  He did not like being injured last year and not being able to contribute:  Brandon Graham currently holds the title of World’s Strongest Eagle. He is benching sets of 465 pounds. Squatting 405. He’s putting on a show in the weight room that has his teammates looking at him sideways.“He’s strong, now. He’s got that young strength in him,” says veteran tackle Cullen Jenkins, breaking into a smile. “They need to get him some relief or something, give him a hug. He’s a little too intense up in there.”  I think Mike Barwis has something to do with this.

• CA DT Joe Mathis has a top 10 of Michigan, Nebraska, Washington, USC, UCLA, Alabama, Miami, Texas A&M, Arizona St, and Tennessee.  I have a feeling the Wolverines would take a commitment from him if he wanted to come to A2.

• One of two prospects Michigan is looking at for RB in this class will be in town this weekend.  (He forgot he was taking the ACT) . His name is Jordan Wilkins a 4 star RB from Tennessee.  Jordan visited Auburn last weekend and all most pulled the trigger on a commitment, so lets hope his Michigan experience is even a better then his Auburn experience.  

• Rare Wolverine found in California .
