The Michigan coaches are doing their best to finish the 23 class as strong as they can. The early signing period is now less than a week away and Michigan needs to continue to add to this class. That task took a major swing in the right direction when 3/4-star Roderick "Trey" Pierce from Chicago Brother Rice picked the Wolverines last night. Pierce was a former Wisconsin commit and de-committed after the coaching changes. The Wolverines held off a number of programs coming after the talented defensive lineman including home state Illinois and Texas.
"The reason I chose Michigan is because of the combination of competitiveness, community, and education," Pierce said. "I fell in love with the people and facilities. I also feel like I fit in with the players. It was definitely a hard decision. A lot of factors went into it. But I really do feel at home in Ann Arbor."
Pierce is 6'3 and 290 pounds and will probably start off at DT, even though he could play all 3 defensive line positions. My guess is that George Rooks saw this coming and decided another program was a quicker path to playing time. Trey is considered a prospect that could contribute as a true freshman.
Welcome big man! Let's hope Michigan can land DT Jamel Howard next (also from Chicago and also Wisconsin de-commit)!
- Erick All was one of my favorite players. He saved the 2021 season with his TD catch and run against Penn State. His story about a fireman saving him from his burning house was just incredibly moving. The way his family is acting as he leaves Ann Arbor for Iowa is very disturbing. His father put up a picture of Harbaugh's young son crying and his brother called out the other TE's on the roster not being up to his brother's skill set. I'm very disappointed how they're acting on social media and they're not doing their son/brother any favors. Football is a very small community and burning bridges will not help Erick in the long run. You don't think the NFL is going to call Harbaugh about him before the draft?
- UCLA Regents have approved the move to the Big Ten.
- There is an open practice and NIL meet and greet on Saturday for fans that want to support the team with their wallets.

I summarized the reason Erick All left in one word. Duchebag. Seems to run in the family. He'll be injured early and often at Iowa.
The open practice will be limited to the first 200 people, so might want to camp out early!
In allowing the move, the Board of Regents approved an amendment referred to as the "Berkeley Tax," which will require UCLA to pay Cal between $2 million to $10 million annually in order to offset Cal’s loss of revenue due to UCLA’s departure, according to the LA Times.
High Sierra- Ya, I read that. California has always been a looney tune state. That's like still charging someone California property tax after they've moved out of state. I'm no attorney but that seems far fetched to me.
Maybe the state of Michigan should charge GM, Ford, and Chrysler a 'loss of income' fee everytime they build a new plant out of state.
Welcome to the Hotel California. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!
All is still young so you can chalk up some of his emotional immaturity to youth. But the parents? Cmon, be adults! You are not preparing your kid for life, you're making him soft. You're making him a bitch!
