Michigan Monday: Is there Good News Coming?

Social Media was a flutter yesterday as Sherrone put up the 👀 twice.  Which clearly means two commitments are coming the Wolverines way.  Now, I have no interest in ruining a kids moment in the sun as they pick up a hat, a jersey, or release a Wolverine to the wild, but if I were you I would pay attention to the news and notes bullets following this message.  


It is really nice to see the new coaches making up for lost time on the recruiting trail and selling the culture in Ann Arbor.  

  • 4-star TE Andrew Olesh from PA is announcing his decision today between Michigan, PSU, FL and Alabama.  Andrew is 6'5 and 215 pounds and rated as the 84th player on 24/7.   His announcement is expected today at 1:00  6:00.
  • ND won a recruiting battle for 4-star Safety JaDon Blair from NC over the weekend.  JaDon picked the Irish over the Wolverines.   Michigan continues to recruit current ND commit Ivan Taylor a 4-star Safety from Florida who is one of the top 50 players in the country at any position.  Taylor committed to ND in December of 2023. 
  • I think its fair to say that Franz Wagner will make the most money of any former Michigan Basketball player ever as he just signed a 4-year $224M contract.  Congrats Franz and please send Coach B a nice bottle of wine! Come to think of it, maybe the Wagner's should buy him a lake house.  😊
  • Michigan is in the early Top 12 for 2026 OL G'Nivre Carr.
  • In news, you didn't know you needed: Shea Patterson won his first CFL start for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.  Do these stats sound familiar? Shea was 15-23, 192 yards, and 1 TD (no picks).

Seeing the recruit named Carr reminded me of the QB C.J. Carr that picked Notre Dame. I'm still blown away by that one. What a kick to the balls. I wonder if picking N.D. was more indicative of C.J.'s feelings about Michigan or his Grandfather's?? Something ain't right.
