Lots of smoke he wanted out of Oklahoma and now he’s heading back to Chicago.

Again, no idea if Juwan will be back or not but this was a name on my list if he wasn’t.

I have largely stayed away from the discussion regarding Warde Manuel and an upcoming decision to whether keep or get rid of Juwan Howard after the season is over.

The expectation has always been that Manuel was going to make a decision one way or the other after the season was over. With it coming to an end soon, barring some type of miracle run in the tournament, we shouldn't have to wait very long to get an answer.

As for the talk of Manuel wanting to keep Howard for another year, I have yet to hear anything credible on that. Just rumors and echo chamber stuff. I can certainly see a scenario where Manuel moves on after this year but I can also see a scenario where he gives him one more year to try and fix things. Whether I think Howard can fix things or not is an opinion I will reserve for a separate discussion.

In short, I have yet to hear anything from anyone that suggests Manuel wants to keep Howard other than conjecture. Nothing concrete or credible has been shared with me like that and no one has relayed anything close to what Manuel's thought process is right now.

It seems, at least right now, that a decision has yet to be made and that things will remain in the dark until a path has become clear.

Again, there are opinions to be had about the path and the right move to make, but that's not my call, nor is this the post to do it.

More when I have it.

Michigan has been working to expand its linebacker board in the 2025 and 2026 classes since Brian Jean-Mary was let loose into the recruiting world.

Jean-Mary recently offered '26 LB Anthony Davis out of Grayson HS in Georgia.

He was excited to receive the offer and is hoping to learn more about the defensive scheme. He loves how consistent Michigan is every year.

He is hoping to take a trip to Ann Arbor this spring.

Both winners of 4 of 5.

ohio state fires coach in season and gets better.

indiana fans hoped woodson would be fired and now they keep winning.

I live in Cincinnati and the softball team is in town to play Northern Kentucky where I did my undergrad. Excited to take my girls 3 and 9 to see the ladies kick some ass. They play at 10, 1230 and 330 on ESPN. Triple header.

-Brandon Graham is re-signing with the Eagles for a 15th season. It’s cool to see players play their entire careers in one city.

-Graham Glasgow is set to re-sign with the Lions for 3-years with a $9.5M guarantee.

-Mason Graham lands at #1 on PFF’s top ten defensive tackles for 2024.

(Kenneth Grant lands at #6 on same list)

Big upset over top-seeded Indiana State.

Mason Graham is No. 1

....position group going into Spring ball?

I like the oline. Curious on who gets pushed out of the top 6. Also intrigued by the freshman Sprague. Could see him make the 2 deep.

23 losses.

.... @LenDaleWhite named new HC of Michigan men's basketball 🏀 team. @HaggarKhakis will be assistant HC ...the rest of the staff to be determined.
Effective immediately.

They will be the coaches for the B1G tournament. Optimism is high in Crisler Arena for them to win the B1G tournament and get a 16 seed and upset #1 overall Houston in n the 1st round of the NCAA Tournament.

Rumor has it because of these slam dunk hires Warde will have his salary doubled and sign a lifetime contract as the highest paid AD in college sports!

More as this continues to unfold!
 

Ranked #4 to start the season, fans thought they were winning a Natty.
KenPom is high on them and they apparently aren't on the bubble for some reason, but that's not a tournament team.

OSu beat Wisconsin 2-0 today and won the series 2-1

As a result, They play @ MSU next weekend and M travels to Minnesota.
IMO M has the tougher draw but we get a chance to really improve our NCAA resume if we can take them down.

If we do, and OSu remains hot, there could be one last game at Yost the following weekend.

Tyler Morris and Semaj Morgan are next man up, WR1 and WR2. They flashed in 2023 in big moments like against Alabama.
The Wolverines may look to the portal again in the spring, but my X factor may already be on the roster.

Rogers with a solo HR.... Voit on the bump for M.

Both Wink Martindale AND Greg Scruggs appear in the directory. Have not found LaMar Morgan or Brian Jean-Mary yet but I suspect they won’t be far behind.

had a better season than Michigan.
Tennessee Tech: 10-21 overall, 5-13 in OVC
Michigan: 8-22 overall, 3-16 in Big Ten

If that isn't a fireable offense for Juwan I don't know what will get him fired.

Michigan's regular season (finally) ends today against Nebraska. The Wolverines are looking to avoid becoming the worst team in program history in terms of total losses.

Tip off is scheduled for noon ET, and the game will air on BTN.

Wondering who’s playing and coaching for the last time at Crisler today.

TWII turned things around after it looked like he lost confidence late season.

Don’t think Jaelin Llewellyn is back to 100% from last years injury. He did ok at times playing more minutes on the road while McDaniel was suspended.

Nimari Burnett looked like Dwayne Wade scoring 21 points in the first half at the Garden against St.Johns.

It was a long time ago but Michigan really did look great after three games. Then it was more close and more bad losses like last year.

I still think Howard’s future up in air at this point. Don’t underestimate what the effect of todays game can do. A sparse crowd of your biggest supporters that thins out after a loss to Nebraska will feel like the end with only the 14 seed in the tourney left before this season is officially over.

Meanwhile, a gutsy win with the crowd into it will feel like they just won one for the coach. Also powerful.
