TIGHT END: IT'S BEEN FOUR YEARS AND I HAVEN'T COME UP WITH A GOOD REFERENCE RATING: 4.5 Depth Chart Flex Yr. Inline Yr. Erick All Sr. Luke Schoonmaker Sr. Carter Selzer Sr. Joel Honigford Sr. Matt Hibner Fr. Karsen Barnhart Jr. You write about things on the internet and you're like "oh dude this guy's last name is a common English word" and then absolutely nothing comes to you. Nothing good, anyway. This position group has two established senior starters who are on NFL radars, plus a couple of sixth-year guys who will chip in and a horde of younger folks lifting weights and biding their time. The only thing separating this spot from a 5 in our ratings is the lack of an out-and-out All-American sort. Seth thinks Michigan has one but that's an opinion that's not (yet) shared by others, who consistently rank Michigan's tight ends in the 6-15 range
Greetings! I have missed you all. Last year was fun. Let’s do that again. For those of you who are new here, we like to spend a few minutes every week looking Michigan’s slate of opponents. As always, fair warning: This column it is for entertainment purposes only, and even that is a stretch. It does not constitute legal, medical, accounting, tax, or gambling advice. It also does not contain sufficient accuracy for the FDA to allow us to label it as “analysis”; we can only refer to it as “processed information byproduct.” On the bright side, it may be stored at room temperature, as that which is not good can never really go ‘bad.’ If you want real analysis, go purchase HTTV 2022 right now. It has a full, detailed, insightful breakdown of each of these teams. Except Rutgers. I wrote Rutgers. This column will contain typos, grammatical abominations, and glaring factual errors. When in doubt, they were intentional. This year’s schedule is bad. Very bad. Especially the fi
Previously: Spring. Fall 2021. See, people asking about HTTV? If we had it done on time you'd have all this incorrect roster data on it! Good news is the phonebooks are here. ======THINGS THAT QUALIFY AS NEWS======== Since time immemorial this is the time we discover graduated guys who slipped out after finishing their careers in spring. This time only DE Gabe Newburg was missing. He was +3/-3 in our charting in four appearances in 2020, and didn't play last year, which was his fourth season. That means they're two over their 85-man scholarship limit heading into fall camp, which is usual, though with instant transfers it's more relevant now that guys have to sit out 2021 if they leave this close to the season, unless they get a waiver. The portal deadline for Fall 2022 sports was May 1. ======THE ALL WEIGHT GAIN OR LOSS IS GOOD SECTION======== Where all weight gained is musculature, and all weight lost was esters of fatty acids. Weights when they were recruits ar
I did this with the defense previously, and finally got around to the offense. Bear with me, Excel Geniuses, as I struggle to make the vlookup to index(match) transition. A lot of the lessons were discussed so often in the UFRs that it's not worth going over them again. Split Zone was their base running play, and they struggled all season to find appropriate counters for what defenses prepared against it because the natural counter for it QB keeper on zone read was not something they could get/were coaching(?) McNamara to do. The officiating got me all house-stompy again. Hassan Haskins was a steely-eyed missile man. Anyway this exercise is about finding things that were new. Favorite Plays? They were a Power and West Coast sorta team, which is to say, pretty Harbaugh.
