2025 Michigan Offseason Thread

NCAA issues Jesse Minter a one year show cause penalty and Steve Clinkscale a two year show cause penalty due to recruiting violations related to BurgerGate.

Oh no! Whatever will Jesse Minter do this year as one of the very top Defensive Co-Ordinators in the NFL and whatever will Steve Clinkscale do when he gets promoted to LA Chargers Co-DC after Jesse Minter gets an NFL head coaching job next year!

Way to go NCAA! You really showed 'em with these highly performative meaningless penalties! Way to go boys!

I watched the Spring game over the weekend.  Must say I was impressed with the 17 year old QB.  Rookie mistakes for sure but he can throw the ball.  It is going to be fun watching him in a real game where he can use his legs too.

Agreed. The ball flies off his hand. He has a fucking cannon and was firing missiles. There were some bad drops from his WR’s but you also saw the raw come though- he overthrew a couple deep balls, had some miscommunications with his WRs, and he threw a pretty bad out that was late that could’ve been picked- but on the whole I thought he looked pretty impressive. 

I wish Michigan did a 1’s vs 1’s spring game and not a draft, I’d really have liked to seen Bryce throwing to Donaven McCulley and having the first string OL blocking for him. 

The interior OL should be set with experienced vets, the tackles are young but highly talented- Evan Link is a RS Soph, Blake Frazier & Andrew Sprague are just RS Frosh and 5*’s Andrew Balbola & Ty Haywood are true frosh could be some growing pains there.

Feel good about McCulley at WR but they really need other guys to step up. Fred Moore needs to finally put it all together and have a breakout season.
