2024 Michigan Season Thread

[ELA]

I don't disagree with you

Donovan Edwards revealed as one of the 3 cover athletes of EA Sports NCAA 25 college football video game. Pretty cool for him. I believe the other two are Quinn Ewers of Texas and Travis Hunter of Colorado. 

Also, sounds like Denard Robinson no longer employed by Michigan. Think he got popped for a DUI/DWI....not good.

Edwards deserves it.  Beast.

Edwards deserves it.  Beast. 

I think he's a hell of a talent and has shown that with huge moments in big games, but tough for me to say he deserved it considering he's never been the starter at RB and he honestly had a down season compared to his soph year where he went nuts replacing Corum at the tail end of that season. I think having Michigan brand behind him obviously helped.

I like that they are sticking with current college players and paying them NIL for the covers and not going with ones that went off to the NFL like they did in the old days of the game.

If they were going to go with a guy from Michigan, can't help but feel like they should've went with Will Johnson. He's the best player on their team and the best CB in all of CFB imo.

[MrNubbz]

Stallions was one, the O.C. who the feds confiscated his computer(Matt Weiss),and the other coach last fall (Partridge) you'll have to use your search engine mine for whatever reason is not working.Then Hair ball got suspened twice last season that is what I'm guessing they mean

Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2024
Michigan
“The trick for Sherrone [Moore] is to keep the momentum of a national championship culture through all the roster turnover. I think you’ll see a lot of familiar [Jim] Harbaugh practices and ideas this first season, because they’ve got to rebuild before they can put a new signature on the program."

"The defense will lead the way for them; that can help bridge the rebuild on offense. Will [DC] Wink [Martindale] just rip it and blitz? That will be interesting to see."

"They’re basically turning over the entire offense, and they need to find some receiver talent for whoever wins that starting job at QB."

"This is going to be a massive transition even though they kept on the interim from last year. They’ll take a step back, but maybe not as far as you think.”

didn't know where to put this so figured I'll put it here...Michigan CB Will Johnson is apparently the highest rated player in the upcoming NCAA 25 football video game with a 96. 

So if he's the highest rated guy in the entire game, why wasn't he on the cover?

Pending allegations I'm sure the upwardly mobile types at NCAA 25 football video game don't want to risk the taint.j/k - so far

Because he's a cornerback.

Michigan RB Donovan Edwards is on the cover of the game, so there goes that theory.

NCAA Expected to Issue Notice of Allegations Against Michigan This Week

The NCAA is reportedly set to issue its Notice of Allegations against Michigan for its impermissible scouting scandal.

According to Chris Balas of TheWolverine.com, the NCAA is prepared to issue a Notice of Allegations against Michigan as soon as Tuesday. Per Balas’ report, Michigan is expected to be hit with Level I violations for the off-campus, in-person scouting operation led by former staffer Connor Stalions.

Two other former coaches are expected to be hit with Level II violations for providing impermissible benefits to Michigan athletes.

According to Balas‘ report, a source indicated that the NCAA could seek to ban Michigan from the postseason for one or two years. Michigan is expected to fight back against any postseason ban, and it’s unlikely the ban would go into effect this year, as Michigan’s appeal is unlikely to be heard by the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions until 2025.

Michigan’s national championship and wins from the last three seasons are not expected to be vacated.


But it is Balas so he may be going light
