In our latest Michigan Wolverines news roundup, the No. 1 recruit in the 2025 class will visit Michigan football, plus some rankings updates, and more.
Things discussed: Seth on early, talks Hank Greenberg and gefilte fish. Hockeytalk: Soft goals override everything else you do in a hockey game. Quinnipiac is the best defensive team you don't give that team three "pick-sixes" in soft goals. Step one is don't hit three posts. The first bank was inexcusable, the second was brain-exploding, and the weak saucer pass he gave up when Michigan had a chance to tie cemented Portillo's legacy as the next Billy Sauer. Who's coming back? Fantilli could get drafted by Chicago, who would be smart to leave him in college to put off his free agent year and tank for a better pick next year. Healthy Nazar, healthy Truscott, Casey breakout, Nick Moldenhauer from the freshman class, and a portal defender (Ryan Siedem from Harvard) and LFG. Goalie? West removed his name from the portal, gives you an okay floor. All in on Brown's Mathieu Caron in the portal, but you never know who can be pried loose. COVID year guys? Woul
Things discussed: Just me today as Craig's on a plane and Brian's in the Alps. Jordan Marshall: Credit to Mike Hart. Also credit to Michigan, since it's hard to find a better fit for a guy who comes from a power offense. Ohio recruiting: We walk through the history since the 2000s, has something changed? Yeah, they couldn't show their faces there after 2018. The 2024 class: Way ahead of most schools. People being impatient need to look around nationally; NIL and smaller classes because of the portal have suppressed freshman recruiting. Jadyn Davis? Sam lays out a gut feeling. Short version is no worries. Portillo talk. [Hit the JUMP for the player, and video and stuff]
Things discussed: Hockey: They stuck to the process. Portillo was magnificent vs Penn State. Also Colgate. Get a regional in Toledo? Craig reached out to some people. It could happen. Spring ball: Lots of guys out. Watching CB, watching the OL. You’re not going to see what they’ve come up with to use Donovan Edwards. Lots of young guys at different positions have an opportunity to play with so many injuries. Guys out: Nugent, Henderson, Colson, Corum, Hinton. Players are saying watch Ernest Haussmann. Craig: Partridge is a lot better linebacker coach than Helow. Guys poised to get a lot better: McGregor, Colson, Grant. Stewart package, Harrell package. Pass rush last year was terrible. Are they going to have a hybrid this year? LB depth last year made it impossible because Barrett was playing LB. Jadyn Davis effect? Sam is in Charlotte because every receiver in a 300 mile radius has a crystal ball to Michigan because they heard that’s where Davis wants to play. [Hit the JUMP for
