Sometimes you get your little brother excited when you're playing basketball and let him get the lead. Then you just come back and take it back. JUST GOT A BEAST!!! pic.twitter.com/szhssjb78H Mike Hart (@MHart2032) March 21, 2023 Michigan's Ohio Strategy is starting to become a blitzkreig, as Michigan's top running back target, and the #3 player in Ohio, just committed to the school of De'Veon Smith, Gene Derricotte, Fitz Toussaint, Rob Lytle, and Bob Chappuis. Unlike some historical Ohio guys like Dick Sygar, Richard Vick, Tom Curtis, Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson, this latest RB liberated from the Land of Bad Presidents looks like he's going to stay in the backfield. He's also the second head-to-head recruiting win over the Buckeyes in as many days, with both Marshall's and that Hillman coming out of last weekend's visitpocalypse. Huge kudos are in order for Mike Hart, whose recruiting was starting to get questioned in these parts and ot
The new phonebook's here, but since they don't list weight changes in spring there's even less than usual to glean from the updated rosters. The big notes: Jalen Perry is gone.

Aside from his special teams work (see photo above), he did get in as Michigan's backup nickel last year, in non-competitive situations. Here's the the full list of guys not back from last year's roster, with destinations and years of
The shape this column was set to take underwent a bit of a change in the whirlwind last week of Harbaugh Watch 2k22. I knew I wanted to write something and began to take an introspective look at my time back as a fan and then student broadcaster and then writer/analyst during his tenure. As Wednesday drew closer and the reports asserted that it was approaching a done-deal, the picture started to come together. And with it came a title that I was planning to run with: After the Gold Rush.
The name was inspired by the famous Neil Young song (and album), but I liked the meaning it had for this instance and I planned to explain it at the start of the piece. That Harbaugh returning to Michigan was akin to the striking of gold in a western mine, kick-starting a gold rush. That we, as Michigan fans, were the miners who hitched the future of this program and our emotional stakes in it to that gold rush. We didn't have fun prospecting names like Geo W. Hemmings or nicknames like "Go
