Well, to change the subject a little bit, there is a rumor going around that Terrance Robinson is about to transfer. Kind of understandable, given that he was passed up on the depth chart by Roundtree, and Odoms was ahead of him already. And, the likelyhood of Gallon coming in and making a...

Not to get technical, because I agree with your point, but you actually take it the first time as a sophomore. I don't know what happened in JT instance, so I'm not going to pretend to, but there is no reason he shouldn't have passed the test. Not only do I blame the kid, but also the...

Yes, the benefits of knowing 5 teachers, three of which I am blood related. The school must submit a ton of paperwork; basically a portfolio of the kid on why he should be given his diploma despite not passing the OGT. The state decides on a case-by-case basis. So, to those who say he did not...

Who gives a flying fuck? I could care less about the academic standing of the athletes as long as they stay eligible. About the only schools that I can think of off the top of my head that really hold the student athletes to a higher degree would be Notre Dame, Stanford, and Duke. And even then...

I think the JT Turner situation was that he did not pass the OGT, but a combination of his test scores and GPA were good enough for the state of Ohio to award him with a diploma. With that diploma, JT was then cleared by the NCAA for a second time. The first time, of course, being early his...

I don't think UM will be offering any time soon, if at all. Maybe if they miss on everyone else on their board, but he had a chance to get his offer, but didn't do enough to get one from the coaches.

Well, it's a good thing he has an entire year before he will even see the field at UM. He's got some time to put some weight on.

50??? I don't think you want a 250 lbs TE. As with a ton of HS kids, they need to grow into their position, so he's not the only one.

I've been hearing around the boards that Jeremy Jackson will be playing at TE in his HS offense. This seems like a much better fit for him. Good size, good hands, not the best speed. It'll be interesting to see if the scouting services reevaluate him at the new position.

I think this whole adapting the system is/was blown out of proportion by both sides here. Was everyone expecting some major change (ie straying away from RRs bread and butter, the read option??? In my mind RR did adapt his offense to his QBs' strengths, as few as they were. Sheridan was a much...

Well, Vincent Smith and Fitz Toussaint are for sure RBs. I agree with you on Gallon and Robinson. Hell there is also a few others. I don't think they should be using so many scholarships on slots. But, as I've read a few places, RR will more than likely be using 4 receiver sets a lot, with the...

I think they're looking for better prospects that will "force" the others out. I hate that tactic and don't have a clue as to all the early offers on "questionable" prospects. But, I've got no say in the matter. I will put faith in RR and Co. that they know what they are doing. Time will tell...

See, I'm the other way around. I'm kinda "meh" on Dileo, and really like Drake. His competition is top notch and he plays the exact same position in the same offense that he will at UM. And he's really shifty and has great quickness. He doesn't have blazing speed, but will make defenders miss...

JOSH FURMAN: Official Visit to Michigan Furman has set his official for the ND game the second week of the season. Versatile athlete that could play 3 different position in Robinson's defense (safety, OLB, and the hybrid Stevie Brown position).

THE DECOMMIT ? ELITE 11: Gardner and Bolden Steal the Show As far as Gardner and Tate go, I agree with your second sentence. I expect Gardner to redshirt a year, and then get some playing time in "mop up" duty his RS freshman year. Even more time the following. It would certainly be possible...

Looks like DE Marcus Rush is a silent UM commit right now. From mgoblog: http://www2.journalnow.com/content/2009/jul/30/offensive-lineman-commits-to-deacons/sports/

The matchup was supposed to be home/home. We'll see how it turns out. Maybe ends up a 2 for 1, or no return trip.

I'm reading that UM will open the 2010 season against UCONN. Beano Cook on his ESPN chat mentioned it. It appears to be all but confirmed right now. Can't say I'm thrilled with the matchup. Better than some, but quite a bit to be desired. I was hoping for something a little more marquee since it...

Wow, that is definitely another language they're speaking over there. Good luck to the kid wherever he goes.

That's great that you're having such a good laugh about this and all, but when was the last time UM had a bad offense before 2008? OSU might have a great offense in the near future, but you're primarily a defense based team. Aside from 2005 and 2006, OSU hasn't exactly lit the world on fire on...
