Insider Michigan to partner with NIL platform headed by former player

Looks like another NIL platform will be partnering with Michigan soon.

I spoke with former U-M player Gabe Newburg this week and it appears that the company he is working with, nXlvl, is working on something called The Block with Michigan.

It's not a club or a collective but something completely brand new and unique, according to Newburg.

From the samples Newburg provided, it looks like a visual resume that athletes can use. This is only the first piece of the puzzle for The Block and it hasn't been fully released to the world yet. Currently waiting on a press release to share.

Here's a sneak peek: https://nxconnect.me/trevor.keegan

More details when I have them.

2024 Patrick Ngongba visiting and 2024 Basketball Recruit Rooths visit canceled/being rescheduled

Login to view embedded media
Pending the official announcement of Lee Aaliya, the need for a center is probably not as big for 2024.

Duke is involved since they didn't get Bidunga.

I believe they have two other wings that have set visits.

We really need a wing recruit and the two lottery pick pitch needs to get us one of these guys.

Sabb was patient, then seized his opportunity

Keon Sabb's strong debut was no accident. He knew he wasn't ready last season. Sabb worked hard, focused on learning anything and everything he could from leaders like Mike Sainristil. Now, he's proved he's ready, and he can't wait to do it again.

Ecu sent in video of a bunch of calls

I know this is a standard practice and that we have and continue to do the same.

The targeting call on McCarthy was deemed INCORRECT.

The call on the first TD was INCORRECT. (Think we all saw that and knew it was the wrong call).

We had 12 guys on the field on a play where a catch was reviewed to a no catch.

For that last one, I think the refs self corrected on that. They are supposed to hold the snap until we substitute and didn't. So they corrected their mistake by not calling 12 men on the field (my opinion).

The ecu coach was apparently whiny about all the bad calls. He concedes they didn't impact the game, but said they had a bunch of bad calls.

He conveniently did not mention his player kicking the ball after the punt (that put us at the one yard line) which was a blatant missed call.

Football Stock Report: Offense Week 1

JJ is elite at every level.
Running game struggles, where were they good, a reason to be concerned?
Michigan has WR1, but don't sleep on CJ.
Interesting numbers with the TE group.
The offensive line is talented, but not cohesive. Who was strong and who looked out of the "Michigan Method".

Recruiting U-M football commits discuss what they look forward to from 2023 team

“I feel it's national championship or bust and I know they feel the same way about it.”

"I really look forward to watching Michigan prove they are the best team in the nation and expect them to win the natty.”

“I think every single offensive lineman on Michigan believes they can win the Joe Moore Award again.”

Michigan football commits discuss what they are looking forward to and what they expect from the 2023 Wolverines:

Josh, just want to thank you for the great article on “How to watch the UNLV game”

Thanks Josh, for the informative article on ways to watch the M-UNLV game on Saturday. Last year I asked you to please put out a weekly info spot on ways to receive the game, and typical of you….you deliver in an excellent manner. Previously, it seemed almost a weekly mystery of “How do we find Waldo, er….our Wolverines.
So THIS is indeed great. A big thanks!
Oh, and btw, I am loving ‘You Tube TV’ as it offers (when THEY can get it) the 4K option. FOX, NBC and ESPN are the standard-bearers. CBS and ABC…never.

Football Stock Report Update

Community,

First, thank you again for all of the positive feedback for the Stock Report feature. I have a vision in my head of what I want this piece to be, it's not quite there but it gets closer every week. All of your suggestions, positive or critical, help make it better. As with everything we do here, I want it to be a community focused feature.

@Anison made a suggestion that I put the Stock Reports in the sticky threads because he had not seen earlier in the week. So, FYI, I will be doing that. One thread for offense and one for defense. Each week I will drop the previous one and add the new thread. My goal is to always have the articles drop on Mondays. I usually do offense first so that tends to be earlier in the day with the defense coming later in the afternoon.

Again, thank you, and please continue to provide feedback. We are equal members here, it is important the work we do gives you the value you are looking for.

Trevor

NIL contributions

Never tell anyone how to spend their money but if your a fan of the school can't you contribute $10 a month at least. Was told Harbaugh recently tried to raise $7m and came up way short from big donors. Times are tough for some but overall how big this fan base is we can make a huge difference. Just a thought hopefully we can all make it work for our individual budgets. I want the train to roll. Yes I contribute monthly because I want to part of our success moving forward. If you don't contribute then we may miss on guys we want.
