2024 Michigan Offseason Thread

I guess Michigan QB Jack Tuttle got his 7th year of eligibility.

if he's the starter Michigan is in some trouble this year....to me it's gotta be Alex Orji, Jaydn Davis, or the Denegal kid. I'd probably have them in that order of likelihood to start.

also: Keon Sabb transfers to Bama. Makari Paige should've went pro. Damnit. 

[Temp430]

I'm thinking it'll be Tuttle as #1 and maybe Orji and Warren as #2/3.  Orji needs to improves his passing game, Davis is a true freshman, and Denegal hasn't shown anything yet.  And Michigan might still find a QB in the portal.

Good luck to Sabb.  Michigan will be fine at safety.

Warren is a walk-on, he isn't going to be in the top 3, and Tuttle is not talented enough to be a starting QB anywhere let alone Michigan. Michigan is like 6-6 or 7-5 and has MAJOR problems if either one of them are starting.

Yeah, Michigan will be more than fine at safety. Rod Moore and Makari Paige are excellent players. That's a hell of a safety combo. But Sabb was always going to be 3 and done off to the NFL no matter what. He wanted to be a starter and once Paige came back well, crowded room. Paige might've been better than Sabb in 2023, he was a lot more experienced. Sabb was only a RS Frosh. My guess is Sabb is going to make a significant jump in year 2 playing and be a better player than Paige now. Paige was a draft-able NFL safety, had he left and gone to the draft, Sabb isn't leaving.

Michigan DL coach Scruggs can recruit.

This we know. Now is the time to see if he can develop. He's got a ton more to work with in Ann Arbor than he did in Madison.

yeah, Elston’s recruiting was never crazy but the development of those DTs and EDGE players under him was elite. 

Michigan has a ton to work with up front in 2024. Kris Jenkins will be a loss at DT but they’re returning Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant, and Rayshaun Benny and Trey Pierce was a youngster turning heads as a true frosh. They should be awesome at DT. 

At EDGE they lose Jaylen Harrell who was a multi-year starter who put a lot of good stuff on tape- him leaving makes sense. They also lose Braiden McGregor- who probably should’ve returned imo- but they’re returning two really good EDGE players in the portal kid Josiah Stewart who had some big moments in his first year with the team and a very talented Derrick Moore who was a big-time top 50 overall recruit and is primed for a big year going into his true jr season and being a full-time starter instead of splitting reps with McGregor as basically a co-starter.

NIL is out of control

What does that mean?

Presumably that even though his stats aren't gaudy, he's going to sell himself to teams as a winner

Presumably that even though his stats aren't gaudy, he's going to sell himself to teams as a winner

that's exactly what he's trying to sell. that he is a winner, and that's all he cares about...winning...not stats. in his defense he did go 27-1 as a starter and was a major contributor for 3 straight CFP teams, starter for 2, and won a natty.

JJ was on a run first team, his efficiency #'s are very good but he was never going to put up huge stats because: Jeem don't throw the ball and there were a bunch of games the last two seasons where JJ barely played the 2nd half.

JJ not throwing the ball all over the lot and putting up gaudy stats doesn't mean he's not capable of doing so. Just wasn't asked to do it- and that's not how Jeem plays ball.

JJ will interview really well, measure in at a good size for the position in the NFL, and he'll test through the roof athletically and he'll wow with his arm talent and he'll probably wind up getting drafted in the top 10, even though he probably shouldn't imo.

It is in their blood, if you are not cheating you are not a Michigan "man".

REPORT: Mike Hart Is Done At Michigan (msn.com)

REPORT: Mike Hart Is Done At Michigan (msn.com)

this was hinted at by "insiders" like a month ago. Hart wants to be an OC and eventually a head coach. He got passed over at Michigan for OC and wasn't under consideration to be the head coach- it was only ever going to be Sherrone Moore and that's it.

Feel like he's a heckuva RB coach but he is bad at recruiting. Not sure he's going to be a successful head coach anywhere because: he stinks at recruiting.
