2025 Michigan Offseason Thread

[Mdot21]

Nurse Mdot's out again

Um,no that's a leep and alot of matter of fact fabricatioin that fits the yarn your spinning. Sure he had a 152 QBR,1st rd probably depending on his senior season. But Kurt Warner got off the matt at 27 as a walk on working in a Grocery store . Let's have a looksee @ 2000 season Anthony Thomas @ RB & Marquise Walker, David Terrel at WR,TE Jorrru along with the usual suspects on the O-line led by Jeff Backus & Steve Hutchinson both No 1 px & Mo Williams 2nd rd & sprinkled with others who went  to the League. Michigan/Henson had weapons, the 2001 team had to re load somewhat and Henson chose to play baseball so 1st rd and prolly washes out 4-5-6 yrs later like a host of other that weren't dialed in like the 6th rounder that played with Drew in '98/'99

yeah, except it's not a leap at all. Charley Casserly who was the GM of the Houston Texans has publicly said many times on record in print & interviews that he was going to draft Drew Henson #1 overall if Henson was in that 2002 draft.

And you can't compare skipping your senior season of college football and then taking 4 or 5 years completely away from the game to go and try to play in the MLB to Kurt Warner's situation. It's not an apples to apples comparison. Kurt Warner played out his college career and then spent time bouncing around in the NFL on practice squads before becoming a star in the Arena league. Warner had a lot more development at playing the game of football and the position of QB than Drew Henson ever did. Henson only started 10 games in his entire college career...one as a true sophomore and 9 as a true junior- then gave up his SR year of eligibility to go play in the MLB. I don't think there has ever been a success story of a guy that gave up playing football to go play in the MLB and then came back to football and give QB in the NFL a crack. Henson isn't the only guy that has tried that and failed. NFL QB is the hardest position to play in all of sports.

reread your post, he would have been a senior in 2001 yet less than two yrs later he fell to the 6th round??? - gonna have to try harder. That just doesn't jibe with your postmortum scouting report of "he was a generational QB prospect. his upside and talent in football was just on another level than his baseball upside/talent. you had to see him live in person to understand it. he was basically John Elway reincarnate- Andrew Luck before Andrew Luck- but more athletic with a bigger arm. he was truly a special talent- haven't seen a QB with his talent ever at Michigan before or since" is just grist for the mill on off season MGOBOARD threads - he had a chance to come back after swinging and missing if he was all that he would have made it work - Sad but expected

Must be nice.

I've been to a few Friday games in Madison and it's brutal. A logistical nightmare. Madison is the capital city and people work Fridays in that capital. Parking? It's nuts.

Idk? Michigan are like the Jews of CFB I guess? Got a great spy agency too and don't give a single f.

before the psycho Bucknutjobs go to "prAcTicE foOtAgE!".....

a) Weiss coached at Michigan for two seasons (2021 & 2022) before being fired- he's been alleged by the feds of hacking into computers and stealing info of college students since 2015.

b) per Detroit News and the DOJ indictment....the sick fuck is being accused of targeting female students and hacking into their iclouds to steal [presumably] naked pictures and videos of them....

"The alleged criminal activity happened from 2015-23 and Weiss is accused of primarily targeting female college athletes, according to the indictment.

He researched the athletes and targeted them based on school affiliation, athletic history and physical characteristics, the indictment alleges.

"His goal was to obtain private photographs and videos never intended to be shared beyond intimate partners," the indictment reads.

computer crimes like these leave pretty large evidence trails...so should be pretty easy to convict him and lock him for the rest of his life. dude is a sick fuck. Jeem has pretty fucking poor judgement of who he lets into his inner circle. would expect nothing less from an autistic weirdo with CTE though...

[MrNubbz]

Seems like the Feds have a better spy agency and those Ann Arbor Arisocrats are going to start giving a single f*** now 😜

Some of the comments across the Web

"Hey Connor, Jim, come look at this.."

Meanwhile over at Bucknuts......first, the natty and now this

lol...getcha popcorn ready

Heading over to MGo to find out how this is Ryan Day's brother's fault ...

Harbaugh had sleepovers with his recruits. Not one university official saw this as a red flag as to what was going on in that department?

Harbaugh hired a pedo, a pervert,cheaters and now a computer hacker on his staff. When you think things can’t get worse, michigan is like, hold my beer.

They're all gonna have to testify under oath.Think about that for a second.

And they let go Mike Hart for exactly what?

Those who stay will be indicted

Timing of this makes it really difficult for UM to claim victim when NCAA vacates their NC in a few weeks. Public opinion will not be sympathetic to the UM football program. Their credibility now shot.

UM found out about it in December of 2022, a couple weeks later he coached in the Playoffs for them.

And Michigan men told us it was just a cheeseburger

Hope his new cellmate is Jerry Sandusky

Cheaters, creeps and weirdos. The Harbaugh coaching tree.

Oh wow, are those dorks up north still scandaling!?

OSU fans have been claiming that he was accessing practice footage via hacking kinda seems like it's not very far fetched now.

glad to see the UM beat writers were all over this scandal amongst many others.

There is no chance an IT guy discovered these crimes on December 21st and didn’t alert his superiors at Michigan the same day, none.

Michigan's Spring game will be played on Saturday April 19th.  It will be aired on BTN a week later.  Rumored reason for this is to limit any portal poaching.

[Mdot21]

Mikey Keene and Davis Warren both have been out all spring and sounding like neither will be back on practice field until the fall. Already thought Bryce Underwood would eventually be the starter over either of them by like mid-season, but now I'm thinking he'll probably be the starter day one.

kid is only 17 years old and won't be 18 until after the start of the season and could technically be a 2026 recruit.

haven't heard a UM QB compared to Cam Newton and Vince Young since Joe Milton

haven't heard a UM QB compared to Cam Newton and Vince Young since Joe Milton

I get your point- Joe Milton was truly a physical specimen with a rocket launcher arm- but did not have the HS production or was rated anywhere nearly as high of a recruit as any of the three.

Vince Young and Bryce Underwood were unanimous #1 overall recruits in the nation in their respective classes and Cam was a 5* and top 25 overall player in his class. Joe Milton was ranked in the 200's overall in his class- and that ranking was basically based only off potential because of his prototypical size and silly arm strength- Milton didn't have the kind of game tape, HS production on the field, or standout performances in the camp/all-star HS game tour as the others.

Problem with Joe Milton was and always has been if you need him to throw a 5 yard slant he's going to throw a 70 yard rocket. Guy can't process or hit the broadside of a barn accurately.
