With the large amount of players that Michigan will need to be competitive next year, it surprises me that we aren't hearing about far more players being in communication with Michigan. Especially since we are out of the playoff and have all the time to attach the portal. Is Michigan slow playing?

Within the next 48 hours, per Sherrone Moore.

Chances that it leaks before that is high, I’d imagine.

HUGEEEEE

We need to jump on some of this kids fast. Get the check book out. This is what dives me nuts about looking for a coordinator.
It hurt us last year because it took forever for something to happen with Harbaugh

Just wanted to leave a quick note of thanks for all the positive thoughts and well wishes for Franklin.

They’re just finishing up his surgery now and he’ll be on track to go home this evening.

Been a taxing day for me as I dropped him off at 8 am this morning, so I apologize for being sparse here.

It’s definitely a relief as I have been stressing about this for days.

ESPN has an article ranking all 52 teams in the history of the College Football Playoffs. Couple of noteworthy rankings:


- 2015 MSU is the lowest ranked team from the 4-team Playoff era (#49) 😂

- 2021 UM is ranked #35 (Ahead of last year's Bama team and right behind this year's UT team)

- 2022 UM is ranked #22 (Ten spots ahead of 2022 TCU)

- 2023 UM is ranked #4!!! (Behind only 2022 UGA, 2019 LSU, and 2020 Bama)

Rather be in Indy.

Perfect fit for portal QB IMO $$$$$

M&BR has the latest on a Big Ten transfer OL visiting campus.

... with only 4 offensive linemen?

With 4 OL among the 8 Michigan players who entered the Transfer Portal on the first day it was open, that's what we're down to isn't it? There's no help coming from either the Portal or the incoming freshmen until the Spring semester starts.

Somebody is going to get hurt.

More thoughts on the QB class:

Saw the report that Michigan is one of the finalists for Kentucky DL Keeshawn Silver. Florida, Miami and USC also finalists.

I’ll be honest, this one wasn’t on my radar so I am asking around. Haven’t heard anything noteworthy back yet.

That’s not to say that shows what Michigan’s chances are, more so things are moving even if there’s nothing public going on.

Silver is a former five-star recruit.

EDIT: Did some asking around, definitely think Michigan is more than just a placeholder on a top schools list.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on at the very least

Putting it out there now. I think we should get a Den meet up on a day leading up to the game. It be cool to meet some of you making it in for the game. I live in the area so I could reserve a cool met up spot.

Never lost to MSU or OSU. Hasn't happened over a three-year stretch since 1947-49, and even that group tied Ohio State in '49. You have to go back to 1946-48 for the last time Michigan was a perfect 6-0 against the Spartans and Buckeyes over a three-year stretch. Kenneth Grant, Will Johnson and Colston Loveland will all likely join him as Michigan football legends.

Alright, the lack of OSU talk and overall trash talk is deafening.

As of right now we have a 3 game win streak against them, are the defending National Champions, and have the no.1 QB recruit.

Enjoy the moment. Let it rip.

Post your best OSU memes / jokes /trash talk here.

We are back with another Subscriber Chat inside The Den.

Fire away with your questions and we'll get back to you!

This is going to be insane. No name entering the portal or coming to Michigan via the portal should surprise you. This is the first year of so many things changing the landscape, and with the 105 roster limit rule there will be some surprises. This roster will likely look very different next year. A player that enters the portal can come back too. Just remember you are only working with part of the information because we don't know that player's next move or Michigan's next move. Need to let this all play out.

Former Wolverine Jim Scarcelli joins the show to discuss the transfer portal, the playoff bracket, possible OC's, and the bowl matchup verses Alabama.
