Michigan Thursday: News and Notes

  • Looks like ND Center Pat Coogan is expected to take a visit to Ann Arbor this weekend.  Will Rocco be with him?  Reports are he is trending to Nebraska.  
  • Chris Ash to ND as DC is done. 
  • There is not a lot of buzz around Chip Kelly and the NFL.  He might now stay in Columbus. 
  • Looking like Mason Graham might be drafted higher then Will Johnson.  I think the injury and missing games might have hurt Will's draft stock a bit.  A good showing at the combine might get him back in the top 10 range.  If you notice, many mock drafts come out on Wednesday to give the talking heads something to discuss.  Right now, it looks like Michigan could have four 1st rounders.  Graham around #5, Johnson 10-15 range, Grant in the 20's, and Loveland late in round 1.
  • Michigan's sugar daddy Larry Ellison lost Billions in the recent Oracle stock price drop.  We can still count on your NIL $$$ for that 5 star?  Right?  😁
  • OSU loses to Michigan, wins a Peach Bowl Championship, and lost -$38M in revenue in the athletic department.
  • Funny how none of the media outlets picked up the Signgate response.  Only Ohio State fans and Brett Bielema cares.  On a side note, if the New Orleans Saints called Brett today, you think he would take the call?

I do think him missing so much of the season did hurt WJs draft stock. He also looked a step slower when he did play. Now maybe that was injury related, but NFL scouts notice that stuff. Also, if I'm building a D, I'm putting a premium on the DL and getting after the QB and causing disruption in the backfield. It why its so rare for a CB to be top 5.

I don't think Michigan can count on going to the Larry Ellison well too often. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked if it was a one off!
