He gives the shout out to Divine Child high school instead of the national champion Michigan Wolverines. UGH

When all becomes clear and we know who our 2024 leader will be?

against Iowa today.

I need to apologize for questioning if Jim is a true Michigan Man! I let my emotions as well the fact that I have been sick all week get the better of me so for that I apologize.

We all know Jim bleeds Maize and Blue and I wish him the best with whatever he decides.

I know it’s nothing new but interesting to watch
IG post this morning

Just home from Yost. The boys came out flying, built a 4-1 lead half-way into 2nd period, sold out crowd, light show, place electric, and then our defenders collapsed, kept turning over the puck, our Goalie gives up 5 straight (mostly soft goals) and we lose 7-5. Awful loss after a huge win in EL Friday night.

I didn't realize he was the QB coach in SF. I hope he is soaking up all he can from Kyle Shanahan, so we can call on him at some point in the future.

They just keep loading up on transfers!!

I received my confetti from @Josh Henschke and my wife surprised me with these two National Championship shirts!!

Thank you Josh! Your the best! Well, second to my wife!!

Go Blue!

Want to say that this rumor is unverified but we have been told about this from multiple people, as early as yesterday afternoon and again late last night…

We have been told that there could be some issues stemming from the interview Jim Harbaugh had in LA. Something similar to what happened in Minnesota.

Again, it’s incredibly vague and we don’t know what said “issues” are but figured I’d share both sides of the fence here.

We’re still very much in nobody knows anything territory.

Any opposition to going after the top-rated ‘24 QB? We like Jaydn Davis , but he’s the only QB commit that’s been reasonably highly-rated in the last 3 years. He’s a borderline top 100 guy. Senegal and Orji were only 3-stars in’22.

Maybe we get smoked because of our non-existent NIL program and refusal to play the Pay4Play game, but I’d it worth a try? If he’s as good as reported he could be a second year starter.

Is Sherrone waiting for Jim Harbaugh’s blessing?

Here is your opportunity to turn things around

Quite a roster they have next year

Will be at the Ravens - Texans game.

What are you hearing about who is leading recruiting right now.

Our current coach seems pretty preoccupied with other things…can’t help but to notice our apparent lack of activity with the portal despite some pretty big holes heading into a year with a hellacious schedule. OSU and Iowa are apparently shopping.

Are you hearing that Jim is heavily engaged and still calling the shots and setting the recruiting focus and direction?

With Harbaugh putting everyone in the twilight zone with his annual should I stay or should I go antics.
EVERYONE but Michigan!

Please insert names if you have a specific Portal QB in mind.

I was a bit confused as far as the dismay of some people who look at Jack Tuttle's possible return, as well as the possibility that he wins the starting QB job.

Tuttle has the raw materials: He was a top 5 Pro-style QB recruit who committed to Utah. Then he went to IU, where, ironically he was behind Penix, though he was actually the much more highly-touted prospect.

We've already seen how dominant Penix looked in a good system after he left IU.

Tuttle, if he returns and wins the starting QB job, won't be asked to do half of what Washington asked of Penix in Moore's system. I could easily see him having a better season than Cade did in 2021: 2576, 15 TDs, 6 INTs, in an offense that, since Moore took over, has been more efficient in the passing game.

2021: 395 passing attempts, 62.8% completions, 8.1 yards per attempt, 21 passing TDs, 9 INTs.
2022: 370 passing attempts, 64% completions, 8.3 YPA, 24 TDs, 6 INTs
2023: 361 passing attempts, 72% completions, 9.0 YPA, 24 TDs, 5 INTs.

That 72% completions is 8th in the nation.

In addition, as we can see with 2023 being the lowest amount of INTs thrown (4 by JJ and one by Davis Warren).

And as many have complained about, less attempts...What people aren't complaining about is that we scored the same amount of passing TDs in 36 less attempts...

Michigan's running game attempted 37 less rushes in 2023 than in 2022, lower YPC, but only one less TD.
To compare:
2021: 970 combined pass and rushing attempts- 60 TDs.
2022: 970 combined pass and rushing attempts- 65 TDs. (The Moore/Weiss co-OC year)
2023: 924 combined pass and rushing attempts- 64 TDs


But this goes to the crux of Michigan's issue/Non-issue:

Behind this offense, we are basically a Big Boy version of those Barry Alvarez Wisconsin teams: Absolutely a pain in the butt to play against, regardless of who our QB is.

Add to this a VERY underrated part of the strategy that led to Michigan's success: The running clock which leads to a shortened game, which in turn leads to compressed stats due simply to less time.

I almost feel as if the running clock has led pass -first teams to have issues controlling the game tempo as well as a run-first, second, and third team like Michigan. I mean, USC fell off a cliff, and Michigan made a Washington squad that beat Oregon twice, look like, well, Maryland.

As my guy @argus99 stated: A culture based on toughness can't be faked, or created by a leader with no toughness. Moore has shown that embracing the "Smash" in college football endears him to just the type of high school kid or transfer that loves the physical style, which then feeds itself.

Once again "Wefense", an offense that plays perfectly into making "1.5" dimensional teams that "kind of run" one dimensional, which plays right into our defense. Our O scores a bunch of TDs based on the good field position given to them by what I like to call our "two minute D": I honestly felt that other teams were at a disadvantage when they had to pass due to time constraints.

I called McCord's 2 INTs including one in a pressure situation down the stretch, based solely on our defensive playmakers. Next season, that D brings back a good bunch: Will J, Graham, Grant, Paige, R. Moore, D. Moore, Hausmann (3rd on the team in total tackles), Sabb, Stewart...

The very stuff that made many Michigan fans mad about Sheronne Moore's offense will be happy this season when we really need to lean on our running game.

And honestly, with our D returning a ton, I feel that Tuttle's return would at least make me comfortable that Michigan would at least have a veteran with B1G starting experience (at IU). His return IMO would guarantee at the least a game manager.

What's going to happen with Jim is still up in the air, but regardless I feel that keeping Moore and bringing back Tuttle could be key for Michigan's 2024 ceiling.

If Harbaugh, Moore, and Tuttle all return, I would feel really comfortable with that outcome.

Article didn’t say if he had interviewed but it would be a kick in the shins if he also left

With or without harbaugh we need to fix NIL or we will be getting passed up by some of these programs. Doesn’t feel like this 3 star and develop will keep us on the top of college football for very long especially with us potentially losing Jim

With the contact period now in effect, it's been business as usual for members of the Michigan football coaching staff as they hit the road this week to see multiple key targets.

Going through which top targets they visited while analyzing a couple of new offers and a decommitment from the week that was in recruiting:
