Did he play his senior season?

Once a football team has had its identity shaken its often not an immediate recovery.

Suddenly talent takes a relevance backseat to a crisis of confidence/identity.

We saw this in 1998 and 2007 after great seasons were followed with horrific starts. Both seasons the team was still performing in a ho-hum manner will into October. Heck we even saw it in 2003 with Oregon and Iowa punches to the gut and required a miracle comeback against a bad minnesota team before the train was back on the track.

In each of those cases the extended period of playing below talent due to identity/confidence crisis came under the umbrella of the same staff as their previous reality.

This could take a minute and get worse before it gets better.

I suggest closing your eyes often and visualizing power right and power left in Pasadena and trusting that the guy Jim INSISTED on hiring is the right one.

"Definitely had a good experience," Hilson told Rivals. "My first time being up here at Michigan...definitely can see myself in that defense."

About an hour to go until tipoff ALLEGEDLY. There could be a bit of a delay here because of a basket failure setting the tipoff of the previous game back 90 minutes. PLUS, Mercer just won in overtime. Will be curious to see if things get pushed back a bit.

TBH I'm not sure if there are any seniors who will be offered 1 more year only because not sure who has eligibility left

many fans believe the offense is going to be the same as last year when we won the natty.

Watching the latest from Locked on Wolverines with Isaiah Hole, he said we will see a more prolific passing attack than we've ever seen at Michigan.
Quite honestly that falls in line with many things, including the quality of receivers that Moore is pushing for.

I believe we will need to strap on our big boy pants for what is coming. Moore and company have to follow through with the vision they laid out to BU otherwise he'll get outta dodge quick. Then we will forever be screwed while recruits would be negatively recruited, saying ya can't trust Michigan, they say one thing and do another.

I don’t have a specific day this week but the odds he makes a trip to campus are growing, would have to be a midweek visit or nothing at all. So too are the odds of being in the class.

Anybody going to be at the tournament? Just moved to SW FL 2.5 years ago & pumped to see Coach May and the boys in action tonight!

From this senior class?

I'm going to miss Dono... He showed up in big moments and supported his team up and down...

Also I miss that extra covid year. Was nice to say wait they got one more year!?
