Michigan Thursday: News and Notes

• Michigan's General Council Tim Lynch is changing jobs and moving to Stanford.

• In a strange stat, Utah hasn't had a QB drafted since 2005 when Alex Smith went #1.  That won't be the case for Coach Whitt at Michigan. 

• Sherrone's accuser is suing Michigan for Freedom of Information Act on not releasing the finding of the investigation. 

• Michigan is in a tight recruiting battle for 2027 four-star OL Lincoln Mageo

Wolverine Wednesday: With Chris Johnson's News - Let's Not Forget About Thomas Gordon

Chris Johnson used to be the fastest man in the NFL, he went on National TV to say through a computer that now he has ALS.  The Ice Bucket Challenge has comeback to raise money for this awful disease.  Let's us now not forget one of our own, former Wolverine and Michigan Man Thomas Gordon was diagnosed with ALS in 2023.  If you can help, here is his go fund me link.  He needs $300K and has raised $38K to date.  Let's rally and take care of one of our own! 

• Dusty went on a local Dallas TV station to state what we already know.  He didn't like the day-to-day in college basketball because it became less about coaching basketball.

• I'm excited to see what Carter Meadows can do next season! 

• Caris LeVert is on the move again and was traded from to the Pistons to the Bucks.

Michigan Tuesday: Big out of the Kitchen

Michigan Football was in early on Muskegon's Recarder Kitchen.  So early he committed to the former coaching staff on 11/30/2025.   Recarder has re-committed to the new staff and is set up for a big year at Muskegon.  In fact, he looks like he could be ready to play on Saturday's in the Big House right now.  I think he is a bit bigger then his recruiting profile of 6'6 240 pounds states. 

Take a look at recent photo from a trip to A2:

That's a big man right there and I would be nervous if my team is facing him in high school this Fall. 

• Mara continues to impress in the Summer League and even had the #5 Top Plays last night on SportsCenter. 

• Elliot Cadeau is playing for Team Sweden and headed to the Second Round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 European Qualifiers.

• This just doesn't look right:

Michigan Monday: A One Year Business

I have to stop thinking about College Basketball like I do College Football.  With football if you can keep a guy happy on the roster you have him for at least 3 years.  In those years, you can develop a high school star into an NFL prospect.  

College Basketball is different as kids can jump to the NBA whenever they have the opportunity and so can your coach.  Michigan just won a National Championship and the roster outside of McKinney will be completely different.  I'm not sold on Mike Boynton being a head coach, outside of recruiting Cade Cunningham he was a .500 coach at best with one trip to the NCAA.  That doesn't mean he isn't a good coach and a great recruiter.  He has managed to keep this roster together after Dusty's wind sent him to Dallas.  

Over the holiday weekend Mike re-secured the following: TN transfer J.P. Estrella, LSU Transfer Jalen Reed, True Freshman Lincoln Crosby, Joseph Hartman and 5-star and potential starter Brandon McCoy. That is some great work out of Mike!

Is Mike the long term answer at head coach for Michigan? I lean probably no. I would prefer the St. Louis guy but I'm willing to keep an open mind this season and see what this squad has. He has done an A+ job already! Like I said, this is a one year business and this is the team we got for a trip to Detroit next winter.

• Gary Sheffield's son has committed to Michigan Baseball. I hope Noah has dad's power.

• There are 12 former Michigan Basketball Players playing in the Summer League right now. Including, Will Tschetter who has been playing in Australia but was signed by the Trail Blazers for the summer league.
