Question about possible returning players

I realize calling this a long shot would be a massive understatement, but hear me out.

I’ve been wondering recently if there’s an outside chance that any of our star juniors (Johnson, Graham, Grant, Loveland) return for next season. I know they’re all being mocked in the first round, with Johnson as high as #2 in places, but we saw players like Sawyer, Ebuka and Henderson (day 2 picks IMO) come back to OSU for one more shot this season. I also recall hearing that Michigan had a One More Year fund that helped keep the likes of Corum and Zinter last year.

To be clear, all four of those guys could never play another snap and still leave as legends. But with this season having gone the way it has, do we think there’s any possibility that some combination of NIL, “I don’t wanna go out like that”, plus the opportunity to be captains and impart some of The Standard™️ to the hot shot younglings coming in that could bring one or two of them back next year? Or is Rod Moore the ultimate cautionary tale and there’s no chance in hell?

Maybe an interesting note on Isaiah Gibson..

Maybe this turns into something and maybe totally not, but after Michigan offered the five-star Georgia DE commit I reached out and asked if he has any interest in the Wolverines and where everything stands, his response was: "Can't say too much."

So my take is if he had zero interest, he would just say so and we'd all move on. No idea if this turns into something but could be another thing to watch moving forward.

After it looks like the recruiting boom everyone has been waiting for is happening, a few of the board members are stuck on firing our head coach after one season, and killing our new coach recruiting bump.

If a continuity hire can’t keep things rolling….

Which was his main job…. Then in year two he’s not a continuity coach. He’s just a HC with one year of underperformance.

Are there enough red flags 🚩 to pull the plug on this whole staff? Succession planning at a high level in college football is really hard.

As for me, if I saw a candidate I loved I’d consider it. Sherrone deserves a chance to learn…but the M head job is a winning job, not a learning job.

NOA On Sign Stealing

Can we finally put to bed that the “hammer” is coming? I know we never said that but that’s what those delusional people south of us have been suggesting for over a year.. We know that Michigan has seen the NCAA’s suggested punishment. I can’t imagine that Bryce would commit without knowing where that is headed along with all the other potential top guys we are in with.
