Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said today that he will keep with his policy of only discussing players currently with the team.
That means no insight into Steven Threet's decision to transfer. But Rodriguez would say that he's not worried about the quarterback position and feels better about it than he did last spring.
...
"I do (feel better) simply because of what we have around them and because they'll understand the system better," Rodriguez said of his quarterbacks. "Tate and David and Nick will have a whole spring, and Nick will have had a whole year. I think Denard is a smart-enough guy that in the course of the summer and fall camp, he can learn it. They're going to be surrounded by guys who should know what they're doing. The experience level isn’t a whole lot more, other than Nick, and Nick's played in some games. He's got some experience there.
