2018 Michigan Season thread

[Mdot21]

Any chance that Peters announces a transfer (after the France trip, of course)??

Not sure. I doubt it to be honest. 
He'd have to sit a year unless he went small ball route. 
He stays at Michigan finishes up his degree before the start of next season he could leave and play right away anywhere he wants. 
Plus lot of chatter if Patterson is the QB and performs well he's going to declare for the NFL draft. Which would mean 2019 the QB job would be wide open.

Shea Patterson was a huge addition but I'd argue that Ed Wariner coming in as the sole OL coach and Jim McElwain & former Michigan WR Roy Roundtree coming in to coach the WR's are bigger additions. 

All of their WR's were true soph or true frosh and they literally had no WR coach last year and it showed. They have way too many talented athletes at the WR position for the production to be so horrible there. 

And the Drevno/Frey OL coach combo was a complete disaster. Drevno was in over his skis imo trying to be an OC and OL coach and while Frey is a really good OL coach but the blocking schemes he's coached in the past are vastly different from the ones Drevno coached in the past.

If Michigan has a turnaround season in 2018 it'll be because of the coaching hires to address lack of development at OL and WR imo moreso than getting Patterson to transfer.

What a long strange trip it's been

Nothing Matters But The Weekend...From A Tuesday Point Of View

Illinois QB Jeff George Jr. is transfering to Michigan.  Will sit out this year then have two years eligibility left.  Kind of thought Michigan was set for QBs.

That's...weird

Like father, like son.

Seems like a waste of a scholarship.  Kid lost his starting job at Illinois.  Sort of like the kid they took from Houston.

I'm guessing Harbaugh knows Peters and/or McCaffrey is transferring.  Otherwise it makes absolutely zero sense.  Unless he's walking on.

It could be "and" on this one. Two transfer QB's in one year. Surprised they didn't go for three with the kid who went to NU.

Sounds like this is the case

That's what his old man did at Illinois. He left Purdue after one year, committed to Miami and then to Illinois.
He had to walk on at Illinois as intra-conference transfer rules dictated at the time. He bailed on Miami when Jimmie Johnson wouldn't promise him the starting job.

Michigan picked up three commitments over the weekend:

2019 TE Erick All, Fairfield, OH
2019 RB Zach Charbonnet, Westlake, CA
2019 DT Mazi Smith, East Kentwood, MI

Yeah, it never occurred to me that people would call this one controversial. Aside from not occupying a scholarship, he'll almost certainly not even be in the top four of the depth chart. So this can't be about the depth chart. I wouldn't even wager it's about adding a warm body to the roster. I think it's about giving the kid of a sort-of-friend a shiny graduate degree and improved chance at entering the coaching profession.
