Football Michigan steals away another OSU staffer

Have confirmed that Michigan is hiring Ohio State’s Erin Dunston as Director of Ops, a position held by Christina DeRuyter before she headed to LA.

I’ll be honest with you, I can’t tell whether it’s a good or bad hire but her resume speaks for itself, always funny when you can piss off Buckeye fans.

OL thoughts

in 2023, Michigan did not have a true tackle in its starting 5 other than Miles Hinton for a couple of early games.

I would say, without question that the best position for Jones, Barnhart, Zinter, Keegan, Henderson, and Nugent, the 6 players who started most of Michigan's games last season would be on the interior O line.

Michigan was forced to play Henderson, Jones, and, at times, Barnhart at the T, as they were the best 5 OL on the team, but none were true OTs.

The OL was, as usual, magnificent despite not having a draftable OT on the roster- OSU had a 1st round OT in 2022, PSU and Bama had 1st round OTs in this past draft, but their OLs weren't as good.

In PSU's case, almost all of the big name Maryland OL they beat us head to head for played well, but their line inexplicably looked like trash every season we play them. They had 1st, 3rd, and 5th-round picks at OT this past draft...Fashanu went 11th, Caeden Wallace went in the 3rd round, and Hunter Nourzad went in the 5th round.

The idea that Penn State had not one, but two OL selected higher than any of our OL is interesting to say the least. The way their line looks with the talent they get is underwhelming. They remind me of Michigan's lines under Warriner: All five drafted, but all five rarely blocked well as a unit.

Recruiting On Kainoa Winston…

Have heard from someone with connections to Penn State that Michigan currently leads for 2025 Kainoa Winston, that’s even after his official to Penn State over the weekend.

Not ready to officially place a prediction yet but if a decision were to come soon, I feel good RIGHT NOW that it would be Michigan.

Champions Circle email

Just got an email about donating to the Champions Circle Beat Ohio fund. I’m sure many on here did. Just posting so people can look for it, and to show that things are happening (tho I am a small potatoes type contributor, not sure how widespread the email list is and if it’s going to bigger donors). Edit-one quibble, the email comes from Anna Britnell, the director of Champions Circle, though I could see a partial reference to Michigan football in the subject. Might be more effective/noticed if the sender name itself mentioned Michigan or the Champions Circle.
