This is just a different time in college football and as Michigan fans we need to get used to it. Players are now "free agents" and will check their worth and value via the transfer portal. Michigan felt both sides of that situation on Thursday.
Coming:
Ernest Hausmann is a freshman LB from Nebraska with a huge upside. He played a ton as a freshman at Nebraska with 54 tackles and the coaching staff believed he could be a star there. Iowa really wanted Erine and last weekend was on a visit with All and McNamara. Ernie picked Ann Arbor. Welcome!
Going:
Back-up QB Alan Bowman who seems to have been in college for 10 years. Surprisingly Alan has one more year of eligibility left and probably could have become a surgeon by now in funded scholarships. He wants to use his final year at a place where he can play. The rumor is he might go with Biff and play for Charlotte. If you're worried about back-up QB's for the CFP, Bowman plans to stay with the team through the playoffs. On a side note, I got inside information that the plan for Davis Warren after the performance in the spring game was to transfer after this season. Then a lot of things happened including the loss of Cade and now Bowman who he already beat out. Not to mention, there is zero QB's coming in the 2023 class. Since he is now a play away from being in the CFP, my expectation is that he changed his mind and plans to stay. (that is my hope anyway)
Last note on this, I of course don't know what Erine's transcripts look like but we know how hard it's been to transfer to Michigan in the past. Hopefully, those rules have softened a bit so Michigan can be competitive in the transfer market.
- Mazi Smith sentencing got moved to 1/12/23
- Purdue hired Graham Harrell as OC, so they're not moving to the triple option. 😃
- Blake Corum won the Chicago Tribune Silver Award for the Best Player in the Big Ten, Voted by the Big Ten Coaches.
- Edge rusher Josiah Stewart, one of the portal's best players, says he is down to USC and Michigan. Which one is Pass Rush U again?
- Michael Barrett is not sure what he is going to do next year. He has one more year left and wants to increase his draft stock but doesn't want to be the old guy in the locker room either.
- Bryan Mone tore his ACL last night on Thursday Night Football
- Last official weekend before the Early Signing Day! Let's hope for some good news!

Kendrick Bell, is listed as an athlete but he plays quarterback.. and Michigan has said he will get a chance to play quarterback so there is a quarterback coming in 2023
Ron- Do you really want a WR playing QB at Michigan? Jaden Davis is coming in 2024, don't worry.
Always a few last minute surprise recruits under the UM Christmas tree!
Funny seeing the mass exodus at MSU. Lol Payback is a bitch!
5 * QB Dante Moore is rumored to be considering flipping to Oregon. Wonder why no Michigan love? No $$$??
Adding a non-grad transfer is a nice step forward in the Michigan portal direction. With the portal playing an ever more important role in filling out roster voids with quality players, Michigan has thus far done a great job, remaining DE, CB, RB.
It will interesting to see when picking up an upper-classman in the portal if transferring their credits goes as smoothly as Hausmann was in transferring his credits as a freshman.
Agree Brady, $party paying for it's sins....and dbaggery! Tuck won't look to build a program but will continue to look to build a team. They were not good this year and do not look to be any better next year. Coach S-Tuck will be around for a while!
