Nevada’s Brendon Lewis has committed to Memphis. There was mutual interest but it didn’t go further than that.

Baylor’s Dequan Finn and Fresno’s Mikey Keane are the only two QBs left on the board with serious interest and visits set up. Finn was on campus yesterday. Keane this weekend.

Just a reminder: last year you watched (or didn’t watch) #9 Missouri beat #7 OSU 14-3 and #6 Georgia beat #5 FSU 63-3 …because all the good players sat out.

....NIL is not limitless at Michigan or any other program contrary to popular belief.

McGee and Sherrone have a budget just like any organization and though NIL support has increased dramatically they have to be smart on how to spend the funds available and the most bang for their buck.

This weekend we had a former 5 star RB on campus...a highly sought after OT...a WR...a CB...and a QB.

At least 2 if not 3 will demand significant $$$. If we missed on any it could be for a number of reasons including NIL.

So, try and be optimistic but cautiously optimistic on who committs.

It's still the weekend so a lot of these visitors are still on visits or things are wrapping up. I am working on it.

Believe Fa’alili Fa’amoe made it to campus.

Does James Franklin, James Franklin today or is the weather and talent too much for SMU?

Any realistic chance here? Saw that On3 posted us a team to watch.

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

Damon Payne's addition has no impact on Michigan's pursuit of Kentucky DL Keeshawn Silver, they will take both.

Michigan feels optimistic about its chances for Silver but has to withstand a potential final push from other schools now that his visits are wrapped up. Not ready to say he's Michigan's to lose or they will get the deal done but they put themselves in a really good spot.

Sherrone Moore wanted balance but explosiveness at Michigan.
Chip Lindsey's history of scoring 30+ points with 300-yard passing and 180 yards per game rushing, record-breaking QBs and RBs, suggest he will bring exactly that to Ann Arbor.

Michigan is in the World's Most Famous Arena right now, preparing to play John Calipari and Arkansas.

The Wolverines (8-1) will face the Razorbacks (7-2) at 9 p.m. on ESPN.

Michigan is a 3.5-point favorite.

for the country having to watch this Indiana team in the playoffs.

Can confirm that Wazzou OL Fa’alili Fa’amoe is set to visit campus next week (don’t have specific dates can only confirm the intention to visit), that was first reported by Matt Zenitz.

Can also confirm that David Gusta has been contacted by the staff, another Wazzou player. DL.

Fa’amoe is one of the top OL in the portal currently regardless of service.

If I ever slip into this pathetic “the media hates us” complex - slap me around the internet for a month.

Reading OSU fan and fan media (Tony Gerdeman in particularly who I’ve always liked) whine about ESPN and Herbstreit makes me embarrassed for the entire institution.

I think Jim broke an entire state. Soft is an understatement.

That’s all.

EDIT: Johnson has withdrawn from the portal and Michigan ended its pursuit with the Metcalf addition.

Biggest questions in the secondary heading into the portal for me...
Does Rod Moore return?
Where does Zeke Berry play next season?
What do we make of Jyaire Hill's end to the season?
Early portal smoke suggests Michigan is targeting an outside corner and a safety. I could see Berry return to nickel, Moore can play nickel, those two could rotate. After how he finished the year, I think I like Berry at corner, but it will be interesting to see the staff's thoughts here as we go on.

Johnson is an intriguing name. He's 6'1" 200lbs and a versatile player. He's listed as safety, but he took most of his snaps in the box as a safety/LB hyrbid. 373 in the box, 163 at FS, and 111 at nickel. Have to find his ability to line up anywhere like that valuable, especially with Michigan's defense showing multiple looks. He's slightly above average in coverage with a 59% comp rate and 3 pass breakups. Targeted 32 times, no penalties. He had 55 missed tackles last season, first red flag, he had 17 missed. Would need to watch the film for reasons why that number is so high. Not a guy used in pass rush, but can makes an impact in the run game. 22 of his 55 tackles were "stops" or "failures" for the offense (runs of less than 3 yards).
