Michigan Thursday: Orji Update

I like Alex Orji but he is not a QB.  I don't know if he can catch but he would be a great TE or even a RB.  If I was an opposing team, I would think Orji was a beast coming off the bus.   


As you know, Alex decided to transfer to UNLV this off season and continue to improve the turnaround program with new head coach (who was a Michigan candidate at one point) Dan Mullen in his first year in Vegas. 

Mullen announced that Alex will share time at QB with UVA transfer Anthony Colandrea during their first game this weekend against Idaho State.  

“They have similarities, but they have differences in their games,” Mullen said on "McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning" (h/t On3). “Both guys will play in Game 1 for us, for sure. It’s a long season. But I want to make sure on gameday that what I see in practice, they can do on the field in a game and see how people respond to that.”

  • Bryce has a new deal with Beats.  They really need to sell those custom Michigan Beats! Yes, he gifted a pair to each player. 
  • Former Michigan TE Luke Schoonmaker is in concussion protocol.
  • This is your yearly reminder that nobody cares what Urban Meyer says about anything or anybody. I wish he would just go coach Idaho State.
  • Detroit Cass Tech 2028 WR Mylan Griggs will visit for the opener.

Michigan Monday: A Busy Weekend

Let's get to the draft first.  


Will did finally go to the Cardinals in the 2nd Round.  At least he is going somewhere warm.  I was 3 short on my prediction of 10 drafted Wolverines.  Here is a full list with the UDFA signings. 

  1. Mason Graham to Cleveland 
  2. Big Kenny Grant to Miami 
  3. Colston Loveland to Chicago 
  4. Will Johnson to Phoenix  (Round 2)
  5. Josaiah Stewart to LA Rams (Round 2)
  6. Kalel Mullins to Tennessee (Round 6)
  7. Myles Hinton to Philly (Round 6)
UDFA:
  • Donovan Edwards to the Jets
  • Makari Paige to the Giants 
  • Josh Priebe to Miami 
  • William Wagner to Cincy 
  • AJ Henning to Miami (former Wolverine) 
Congratulations to all the former Wolverines that found homes in the NFL this weekend.  Nice to have an NFL Owner with his name on Michigan's Business School!  Also Jim Harbaugh and Mike Macdonald drafted zero former Wolverines. 


Not to be out done by the NFL Draft, Michigan landed 2 2026 commits including a QB.  For some reason Michigan seems to love the name "Brady" as a Michigan QB.  Brady Hart who was Michigan's 2026 QB decided to become at 2025 commit and headed to Texas A&M after Bryce committed to the Wolverines.  Now another Brady is headed to Ann Arbor:

4 Star QB Brady Smigel - A former FSU commit Brady is a 6'5 205 pound QB from California.  He always liked Michigan and started to get recruited by Chip Lindsey as soon as he took the job in Ann Arbor.  He is known as a pocket passer and a kid that can really spin it.  He is rated 4 stars to all the services and has a host of offers.  His top schools after leaving Florida State included South Carolina, Washington, and UCLA. 

3 Star Tariq Boney is 6'3 230 pound edge rusher from DC.  Who quickly learned that Michigan Football is already crowned as DE U.  Boney Toney (too early?) offer list includes: Georgia, Wash, WVU, CAL, Tenn, Wisconsin, Penn State, BC, and others.  

Welcome Brady and Tariq!

Michigan Friday: Ugly or Pretty a Win is a Win

Michigan Basketball is not going to win any basketball beauty pageants.  They fended off a pesky bunch from UC - San Diego in Denver last night.  At times it looked like Michigan was going to blow out the team from Sunny San Diego and then it looked like Michigan might give the game away. 


I'm sure this team works on free throws in practice, it just doesn't look like it.   I'm sure this team works on protecting the ball in practice, even though that doesn't translate to the games.   I wish this squad had another year together, so they could play to their skill sets, understand Dusty' system better, and work on the few things that they struggle with.  Either way, Michigan is moving on and has another game on Saturday at 5:45 against the Aggies of Texas A&M. 

Vlad led the team with 14, Tre got his customary 12, Wolf had a down game with 9, and it was nice to see Gale with a sore hammy score 11 points.   I think Gale''s slump has been a big reason for Michigan's inconsistent play.  In summer camp, Dusty thought Gale would be Michigan's best player this year and he has clearly struggled in Big Ten play. 

  • It's hard to believe but Hunter Dickinson played his final college basketball game last night as Kansas lost to Coach Cal and Arkansas in the 1st round. 
  • In somewhat of a surprise move, Michigan has offered FCS Campbell WR Sincere Brown, who had 61 catches over 1000 yards and 12 TD's last season.  He is also 6'5.  Yes, Please!   He is getting a lot of attention in the portal right now. 
  • Matt Weiss is facing some serious computer hacking and identity theft federal charges.  Michigan did the right thing by separating from him quickly a few years ago.   If these charges are accurate, Matt is a deeply troubled person. 
  • Michigan's social media showed a clip of Bryce Underwood throwing a few practice balls and I'm pretty sure the entire Michigan fan base all started dreaming at the same time of what is to come with the young talented QB.

Michigan Monday: Now What?

I don't know what the ratings were for the Michigan - MSU game on Sunday, but my guess is most Wolverine fans took a pass.  Michigan had zero shot and played like it.  


This team has crashed and looks like they've played two seasons not one.  Will the little push fight motivate this team in the tournaments?  I just don't know.  It would seem to make sense to me that a tired team will not excel in a format that plays in back to back days or every other day.   Michigan Basketball is back but this might be it for the season.  

I love how Dusty rebuilt this roster for a run this year but this team needs athletes and the roster lacks that skill set.   Hopefully, they find some magic in Indy.  

  • Today at noon starts NFL Free Agency and if JJ will be the Vikings starter next season.  
  • Coach Mac out in Seattle is not playing and traded his QB and his WR that looks like he was built out of a lab to be a WR.   The top 2 bullets are related as Sam Donald is predicted to go to the Seahawks.  A bit of a head scratcher for Tom Brady to trade for Geno Smith. 
  • Former 5 minute Wolverine Xavier Worthy got arrested this weekend.  Doesn't looks like he will face charges.
  • Famous Buckeye Eddie George replaced a former Wolverine QB as the Head Coach of Bowling Green.  Hard to win at that school.

Wolverine Wednesday: News and Notes

  • Nico Collins was a good WR at Michigan.  I did not expect him to turn into one of the NFL's best WR's.  Congratulations to him and today his contract was re-worked for cap reasons. 
  • Michigan Basketball closes the season at home against Maryland tonight.  Let's hope this game goes better then senior night. 
  • OSU QB Will Howard had a tough combine throwing the ball. 
  • Michigan is making a push for 5 star QB Ryder Lyons, he is expected to visit this Spring and take an official this summer.  
  • ESPN's Around The Horn last show will be May 23
  • I do not recognize this name at all, but now former Michigan QB Anthony Arnou is now transferring to Delaware State after graduation from U of M.

Michigan Monday and Tuesday: Basketball Things

Sorry for the catch-up, traveling this week.  

First thing first, locking up Dusty was priority #1.  I'm tough on Warde for many legit reasons but he has handled the hiring and extension of Dusty like a pro.  Locking him up and not letting him go to IU was important for the future of Michigan Basketball. 

Now to the games. 

It's always a tough loss when you lose to your instate rival.  MSU plays good defense, rebounds the ball and is very athletic.   Thy do at time struggle with shooting.  When they get hot from 3, good night and that is what happened to Michigan in the 2nd half.   First half was competitive, 2nd half was lights out when the 3 dropped for Sparty.  

The biggest area of concern for me was how athletic MSU was over Michigan.   That was a big disparity on the floor.  Let's hope Michigan shoots better in East Lansing and MSU doesn't.

I did not see the game last night, but my texts were full of things like. 

This is ugly 

Maybe the worst game I've ever seen

A win is a win 

When Gale is your leading scorer with 12 points, things did not go as planned.  Anytime you can get a W on the road in the Big Ten, take it and move on. 

  • Kirk Campbell took a lot of heat for Michigan's offense last season and rightly so.  I still think he is a good coach because JJ and Jim like and respect him.  So much so that Jim hired him as an analyst for the Chargers.

Wolverine Wednesday: You Can't Outrun the Stupidity of the NCAA

It's in both Michigan and the NCAA's best interest to make sign gate go away quietly.   The NCAA clearly does not want that to happen and now Michigan is fighting back.    They sent it a long response to the allegations of Michigan sign stealing.  I wish they were that aggressive when Jim was here.   


Either way, its finally the proper response.  The NCAA lacks power and it really lacks power over college football.  This story was dead over 12 months ago, but it stays alive thanks the NCAA trying to get a pound of flesh.  Let's not forget the big FBI/NCAA Sting that had coaches on wiretaps paying players and nothing ever came of that.  The NCAA hates Jim Harbaugh for not remembering he bought a kid a hamburger and ever since has been out for blood.  

The other thing that pisses me off from that time, is when the Big Ten got involved.  They had no business penalizing anyone without the facts of the case finalized.   That staff is in the NFL now, the story is over, move on.  Or continue to spend millions of dollars to get nowhere.  

  • Bret Bielema sure is getting aggressive lately.  He threw an aggressive message at Jim on social media.  He must be feeling very comfortable in Champaign, Illinois.  Let me rephrase, he looks like he is feeling comfortable. 
  • Reports are Rocco's team is working with Michigan on an NIL offer and a visit for this weekend.  He visited IU this past weekend and Nebraska on Tuesday.  Michigan is also involved in ND's center Pat Coogan.  Both need to make a quick decision as enrollment deadline looms for all the schools both are considering. 
  • Michigan players at the Senior Bowl include, Donovan Edwards, Josaiah Stewart, and long snapper William Wagner.  Mullins had to decline the invite due to an injury. 
  • Jalen Milroe has small hands for a QB.  Yikes!

Michigan Monday: Michigan's Rivals Play For a National Championship

I know Michigan hasn't played Notre Dame in a minute and MSU is on the schedule every year.   But for me (and I would imagine many Michigan fans) rank the Wolverines Rivals as follows:


1. Ohio State 
2. Notre Dame 
3. Michigan State 

The Michigan - MSU thing is more of a nasty distraction then a rivalry.   MSU fans know that and they hate that.   When ND was on the schedule every year, there would be two must wins for me: ND and OSU.  Some years it was the first game and the last game of the season.  

So now they match-up in a National Championship game a week from today.  As of right now OSU is a -8.5 favorite, I've seen it as high as 13.  So the money is moving to ND and the points.  Marcus Freeman plays his old team in the biggest game of his career.   

I was actually proud of Texas as they watched the Michigan game and played defense that took away the long ball and controlled the OSU offense.   The issue was they didn't tackle very well on the dump off routes and clearly didn't score enough points on offense.   I expect Marcus is smart enough to game plan like Wink and Texas did vs. doing their own thing like Tennessee and Oregon did.  

Lots of stuff happened this weekend so let's get to the news bullets:

  • Orji transfers to UNLV.  They like to throw the ball, so not sure the play here.   I'm sure Dan Mullen has a plan. 
  • Owen Wafle transfers to Penn State.  He is from NJ and this gets him closer to home. 
  • Michigan adds UMASS WR Anthony Simpson his stops also includes Arizona.  Simpson put up some decent numbers at UMass in 2023 and less so at Arizona prior.  He only played in 2 games in 2024 before getting injured and jumping into the portal during the season.   He is also known as a returner. Simpson played for Michigan TE coach Steve Casula, so I assume Steve sees his upside.  If your looking for a comp, I would say AJ Henning.  Maybe a couple catches a game and a many touches as a returner.  Michigan needs WR's and this is an important pick-up. 
  • Michigan adds Louisiana CB Caleb Anderson.  I don't know much about Caleb, but I like this pick up because he used to be coached by Michigan's DB coach Lamar Morgan.  He is 6'3 and this will be his 6 year of college football, so Yes, Please! 
  • Robinson the WR from App State commits to UCLA
  • Michigan Basketball has the top offense in the country over the last month as they beat UW at Crisler on Sunday.  Love that Vlad found his game after a slow start to the season. 
  • RIP Bo assistant and Colorado Head CoacBill McCartney

Michigan Tuesday: Come Back Biff!

Sherrone is struggling as Michigan's head coach.  He has gone from top of the mountain to maybe the Music City Bowl.  He does not know how to be the head coach of Michigan Football.  It's a job that can't be your first head coaching role.  Lloyd Carr was in the program for 100 years prior to the getting the job.  We all know how it worked out for Gary Moeller.  RR and Hoke had years of head coaching experience and couldn't handle the job. 


Sherrone doesn't have anybody on staff he can lean on for advice.  If Michigan had hired Jesse Minter he could talk to his dad who was a former longtime head coach and was on staff.  He is now on staff for the Chargers.   Biff was probably Jim's best friend on the team when he was on staff and many give him as much credit for turning around the Wolverines as Jim got.  

Biff was fired as head coach of Charlotte yesterday in a strange/early Black Monday for college coaches.  Don Brown who we all know was fired and so was Tom Herman at FAU.  Of all those coaches, I would take Biff back at Michigan in a minute.  He would be the perfect person to help Sherrone with the day to day head coaching duties.  The problem is, I expect Jim will try to hire him as well. 

I hope Wink's agent is contacting all 11 open head coaching jobs for an interview right now!  My best guess is Don Brown will probably retire.  For anyone thinking Tom Herman as Michigan OC, he is not a good coach and that is a hard pass from me. 

  • Michigan Basketball has a ton of talent and everyone can score.  Those two things can lead to a ton of turnovers and Michigan is struggling with that right now.   So many that Miami - Michigan was close at half-time, not so much in the 2nd half when Michigan took care of the ball.  I loved that Dusty took out all 5 starters when they couldn't stop turning the ball over early in the game.  This team needs to improve TO's, rebounding, and free throw shooting.  
  • It was expected, on Monday Ivan Taylor a 4 star Safety flipped from Michigan to Bama.
  • If you didn't know Belleville lost to CC this weekend, so now Bryce can focus 100% on recruiting between now and signing day in a couple of weeks.

Michigan Tuesday: An Offensive Problem

I will go back to my statement that I wrote in the post game.  I believe the Michigan Coaches are not stupid, mostly on the offensive side of the ball.  They knew Michigan didn't have an experienced QB and JJ wasn't walking through that door.  They also knew this offensive line was lacking experience and quality starts.  


Which makes what Michigan is trying to do very strange in my mind.  They are acting like its last season and running the same damn plays.  This offensive line is not suited for a power run game and Edwards is not a power runner.  They are not running special plays for Orji and just asking him to run the wildcat.  I'm not 100% out on Warren but he is not JJ and the running game is nowhere near where it was and the offensive line is struggling.  

Changes that need to be made:

1. Donovan Edwards is your best WR use him there.  
2. Run some damn play action. 
3. There must be special triple option plays for Orji or keep him on the bench.  Including throws. 
4. Open up the run game - Outside zone runs 
5. Traditional screens
6. If Tuttle is healthy, put him in the game.
7. Run plays with both Edwards and Mullins on the field
8. Think about removing the FB from the offense and spread the field 
9. Find your best combination on the OLine, it seems each week is an experiment 
10. If the offense continues to struggle it's Davis time.  

To remind everyone, Alabama was in this exact position last season.  They lost to Texas at home and Milrose was benched.  They fixed things and made it to the playoffs.  

Michigan's defense and Wink was exposed on Saturday.  He got completely out coached and that is a crime with his NFL background.  Everyone that reads this blog knows I think Wink is washed but some fans worried about him being Don Brown.  I wasn't worried about that but after the Texas game I'm now concerned he is Don Brown 2.  His job was to confuse a college QB and that QB laughed at him as he was throwing TD's. A washed OG.  

The offense might get a little bit better as the season moves forward.  The defense was supposed to be elite now.  They better fix things quickly or this season will be a wash.  

  • RIP to the GOAT James Earl Jones.  That intro in the Big House is something special.  
  • Money Moody was 6-6 in field goals for 49'ers last night on MNF.
  • Harbaugh's new commercial is pretty good

Michigan Friday: What To Expect A Week From Saturday

Gang, I just got chills thinking about writing the preview post this time next week as defending National Champions.   Stop and think about that for one minute.  How long we have come and how long we have waited for have that feeling.   I know sometimes its hard to understand or feel the moment when we are experiencing it.  The 2023 season is one season we will never forget.  


Next week a new chapter of Michigan Football gets under way.  Michigan has a new head coach, new players, and new position coaches.  It's time to celebrate the "Natty" one last time and focus on business in the 2024 season.  

So what do we expect, when we are expecting continued greatness?

  • Michigan is not going to leave the power run game.  The cupboard is stocked with talented RB's, offensive line, and tight ends.  I expect Orji to start and for Michigan to try to grind Fresno State into dust on the ground.  The Don is your starter and Mullings the clear #2.  I also expect a nice dose of Jordan Marshall and Ben Hall.  I'm concerned about Cole Cabana. 
  • Let's address the Wolverine in the room at QB.  The buzz in camp is its a close race between Orji and Warren.  That is good news actually because they have different skill sets.   I expect Orji to take the first snaps but Warren to play against Fresno.  Texas is around the corner and Michigan will need to score points in that game.  Fresno will be good barometer on who starts week 2.  If Michigan struggles to move the ball on the ground, I expect Warren to be in quickly to hit our talented TE's and fast WR's.  Tuttle who might be the best version of Orji/Warren with experience continues to be injured and not expected to be ready to play early in the season.  
  • Speaking of WR's:  Here is my take: Morris is the #1, Morgan in the slot #2, Moore #3, deep threat and jump balls go to Walker, and we see a ton of sets with Loveland and Klein in the game (both are walking miss matches).  I expect Klein to have a huge year.  I also expect to see that YSU transfer in on 3rd downs to move the sticks.  
  • Defense I expect to dominate.  They will be tested by very good offenses this year and Michigan has the talent to win those games on this side of the ball.  I was not a fan of the Wink hire, I wanted someone young, smart, and ready to confuse offenses like the last 2 DC's did.  I could be wrong here and hope I am.  Wink could be mixing up some crazy shit that confuses these college OC's and QB's. I hope this stint has given Wink new life and the ability to dominate on this side of the ball.  
  • Special Teams was not good in the Rose Bowl and we really didn't need much from them in Houston.  Field goal kicking is going to be very important this year and lets hope that transfer is very accurate.  When you run the ball and have a dominate Defense, getting 3 points is really important.   For the return game, lets put a kick returner back there that can be electric and make the right decisions.  For punt returner, just catch the ball.  Michigan must continue to play clean and not give opponents short fields if they are going to continue to win championships.   At times this offense may struggle scoring points.  We need to make sure we are not giving the opponents free points.
In conclusion, I'm still going to fall back on my comp from after the National Championship game.  This team is going to be like Alabama 2023.  Talented Athletic QB that is going to struggle from time to time, a very good running game, and a dominate defense.  If I remember correctly, didn't Bama also host Texas in the 2nd game of 2023? (lets hope that is different outcome from Alabama 2023).   

I like this team, its talented no doubt.  I think Sherrone did an excellent job finding coaches that can coach and also recruit.  Michigan last year executed at a high level in pretty much every area.  I don't believe we are going to get that level of execution this season.  The schedule is difficult and this is everyone's Super Bowl every time they face Michigan.  Careers are on the line when Michigan heads to CBus later in the year.   This is going to be a bumpy ride, but one I'm looking to take.  If Wink can hold the fort down while the offense finds itself.  This could be a playoff team.  It's almost time to find out and take the field as National Champions.  

  • Recruiting insiders are now calling for Michigan commit DL Nate Marshall to flip to Auburn.  My guess is, there is a large NIL bag waiting for him there. 
  • Speaking of former Michigan DC's:  Seattle traded the "King of Pop" for Michael Barrett his former LB at Michigan.  You don't see rookies getting traded like this too often.  
  • Excited for week 0. GameDay with Saban should be interesting.

Michigan Thursday: JJ's Mental Reps

JJ's rookie season is over before it has begun as his surgery proved to have a serious tear in his meniscus on Wednesday.  His recovery is expected to take 6 months and he should be ready for next seasons training camp.  


This is obviously difficult for Viking fans but could pay off later.  A number of top ranked QB's have sat during their first year and with the injury JJ will able to take mental reps without any conversersary of playing,  while getting to know the offense much better than he does today. 

Best of luck JJ in your recovery. 

Side note: any fan or fan base that thinks this is some sort of karma because of spygate is a certified idiot. 
  • Anyone thinking Michigan might run the wishbone or single wing with Orji in at QB?
  • Michigan is looking for a new official retailer who would sell under the MDen umbrella per the Freep.  This is clearly related to MDen's recent business troubles. 
  • Per the Washington Post, Mikey is going to be asked to do everything for the Commanders Defense.  A role he is used to!

Michigan Monday: Remembers Andre Sheldon Jr.

The extended Michigan family is morning the loss of Andre Sheldon Jr. this weekend when he died by drowning after jumping off a cliff in Utah.  

If you remember, Andre spent two years on the Michigan roster after committing to the Wolverines from Belleville.  He then transferred and played two years at New Mexico State and was heading to Utah State this season to play his final year of eligibility.  

Here are the details of this tragic event from CNN: Deputies were called to the Porcupine Reservoir at around 2:20 p.m. MT following reports that a man dove from the cliffs into the water and didn’t resurface, the Cache County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Search and rescue teams with divers then began searching for the man, the agency’s release said, and his body was found in the reservoir at 9:05 p.m. by the Utah Department of Public Safety dive team.

“Our initial investigation leads us to believe this is a tragic accident as multiple witnesses recount the same information,” the sheriff’s office said.

Please keep Andre and his family in your thoughts and prayers this week.

Michigan Monday: It's a Holly Jolly July

Michigan landed another defensive lineman in edge rusher Julius Holly from outside Atlanta over the weekend.  Julius is 6'3 230 pounds and is a 4 star Edge to all the services minus 24/7.  His offer list was strong with the leaders being Georgia, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss.  "Captain" Lou Esposito is really putting in the work for the Wolverines and grabs another top rated guy for his defensive line.


Wink tells us to stay locked in, so hopefully the good news keeps rolling.

  • Blake Corum got engaged over the weekend.  Congrats!
  • Brady Hart was on the offensive MVP on Day 2 of the Under Armour camp. 
  • RB Davison did go to Oregon.  I have to keep reminding myself they are in the Big 10 now. 
  • Happy Bobby Bonilla Day
  • JB Bickerstaff sure has had a lot of jobs.  Why does these owners keep washing and repeating with the same head coaches?
  • Alex Orji on Coach Campbells offense: "It's gonna be tailor-made like a three-piece suit for whoever takes a snap. It's gonna be tight, it's gonna be perfect. ... We operate every play in the playbook to a pro level."

Michigan Monday: 2 Commits Over The Weekend

MSU fans on social media try to find any reason to take a shot at Michigan Football.  Which is really hard to do when the team your taking shots at is the reigning National Champions.   One area Sparty has likes to focus on is that Michigan has been recruiting at that same level MSU has been this cycle.  


Michigan lost a majority of its coaches to the NFL and out the window goes all those recruiting relationships that has been built over numerous years.  Hell, Michigan has had 3 defensive line coaches in the last 6 months.  Not to mention, Michigan's famous Director of Recruiting who is no longer with the program. 

Michigan over the weekend continued to build their 2025 class by getting two strong commitments. 

#1 commit of the weekend was Safety Kainoa Winston who is rated as the 43rd player in the nation to 24/7 and a strong 4 star.  Winston is considered one of the best DB's in the country and Michigan beat Penn State for his commitment.  Michigan won the recruitment on the way they used Mikey over the last two years.  


#2 commit was RB Jasper Parker from Louisiana.  Not a state Michigan has had much recruiting success in.  Jasper is a 3.5 star as some service rank him a 4 and others a 3.  He is 6'0 and 200 pounds and has a great offer list from the likes of Miami, Alabama, UNC, OK State and others.  My guess is Parker will be a power back in Michigan's offense. 

Welcome to Ann Arbor to both guys! 


Michigan's class is currently ranked:
#13 on On3
#34 on 24/7
#30 on Rivals

More work to do! 

  • The US Open was high drama last night in the final holes.  Bryson took home the trophy but Pinehurst #2 won the US Open.  No golfer wants to see Rory lose like that.  Congrats to the USGA for putting on a great event.  
  • Michigan - Wake Basketball Series now confirmed
  • Les Miles is suing LSU because he believes his vacated wins will cost him a shot at the College Football Hall of Fame.
