Michigan Football came out of spring ball with some holes that needed filling. It was clear Michigan needed depth in the secondary, a place kicker, and help at the WR position. There are also some level 2 needs like a back up DT and if a really good fit at QB jumped into the portal.
Michigan has tried to land another DT but not a ton of guys want to sign up to play behind some of the best DT's in college football right now. Most guys are looking for more playing time at a program with more exposure. I believe the search continues with DT's and the portal. I don't believe the Michigan coaches found a QB that could come to Ann Arbor and start in the Fall. So they are moving forward with what they have.
Current State:
✔ Secondary help has been achieved with 4 DB's committing this weekend
✔ WR help is also solid with the return of Amorion Walker and CJ Charleston from YSU. I still think Michigan could use one more WR from the portal.
✔ Kicker was signed from Arkansas State
Best case is Michigan signs 1 DT and 1 more WR then I expect they will be done with the Spring Portal Season.
- Speaking of new faces in new places - Eamonn Dennis has transferred to Ohio University. Good Luck to Eamonn in the MAC!
- Former Michigan commit PG Christian Anderson has picked Texas Tech as his new school.
- SVP continues his Emmy streak and now is 0-8

Excellent update, thank you Bob. I think we are going to be good enough to beat anyone this fall. We have studs at all positions. Orji makes me nervous at QB, though. I see this as our Achilies heal because we still don't know if he can win a game with his arm. I think we will find out really quick in the opener against Fresno St. I say let 'er rip, tater chip! If Alex is 4 of 12 passing and our leading rusher after Fresno St., I will need counseling.
I have high hopes for our new football regime, but I live in fear of a fatal rash of three and outs, then the reality of "Harbaugh gone" hits home ... we shall see. I figure 8-4 record is a winner, anything more is a blessing. Any other guesses of 2024 record, or just let them play it out ....
