Michigan Friday: What's Left For 2020? Ed Gets a New Gig

Ed McCaffrey father of Michigan QB Dylan,  NFL Carolina Panthers RB Christian, and Nebraska QB Luke, has accepted the head coaching job at Northern Colorado.  Ed has been the head coach at powerhouse Valor Christian High School for the last two seasons.   

Ed is a three time Super Bowl champion and will be leading the UNC Bears who play in the Big Sky conference.  No word if Dylan is considering an "Aubrey Dawkins", but I doubt that will happen.
(side note: I saw Aubrey on an airplane this summer, it was the day he got cut by New Orleans)


With the Early Signing Period starting next Wednesday, which recruits are still left on the board?

Michigan has 23 recruits committed which means the rooms at the Inn are very close to capacity.   The Wolverines are still tracking 4 guys:  OT Andrew Gentry,  CA QB CJ Stroud, four-star CA CB Darion Green-Warren, and three-star VA OT James Pogorelc.  Gentry won't be on campus for a two years, and CJ seems to be a strong Ohio State lean at this point.  Nice momentum with DG-W but he won't announce until a January All Star game.  James is taking his official visit to Virginia this weekend.   So I wouldn't hold your breath for a new commitment posts between now and signing day, unless its a surprise one.  

  • Breaking News: Tarik Black has entered the transfer portal this afternoon.   This is not a surprise to anyone that has watched the team this year.  Black was not getting targeted and when he did get one, he was a yard short on third down or it was a short yardage crossing route.   It looked like other guys were passing him on the depth chart.  His multiple foot injuries didn't help in off season workouts and missing games.   The hope was if DPJ and Nico consider the NFL that Black could be a top WR during his senior year.  I wish Black nothing but the best and we will always have the Florida game in Dallas.


  • Remember Devery Hamilton?  He was a high 4 star OT in the 2016 class that was committed to Michigan, then flipped to Standford when his acceptance came in?  He is in the transfer portal.  Michigan is not expected to be a player for his services. 


  • This is the time of year where many programs come after Chris Partridge.  So keep an eye on that.

I didn't think black or people Jones were good receivers... they should both leave the program and go to MAC Conference

I think their attitudes are the problem... DPJ touchdown against Msu in 2018 in East Lansing is a great memory of mine... DPJ has some barry sanders in him... doesnt like all the hype and cameras... Black seems to be a selfish player with a world of talent... sad really... i would not think Black would make the Osu roster...

Couldn't get into Ohio State anyway his GPA is too high.

I can see that there are a lot of "Michigan fans" here today. Someone announces their intention to transfer then he and a fellow teammate get slammed here.

Tarik, I'm sorry to see you go. I hope that you find what you want and I wish you the best of luck.

Michigan should offer Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator a big truck load contract
