A Portal Primer | mgoblog

FIRST OFF: DUNNO. Give or take Matt Hibner, who stopped playing in order to maintain a redshirt and transfer somewhere next year, Michigan is the last P5 team without someone in the transfer portal. This obviously isn't going to last, but I mention it because that fact combined with the peak COVID-shirt year means just about anyone could come back, or leave, for 2024. Michigan only definitively loses six contributors: Cornelius Johnson, Cam Goode, Mike Barrett, Mike Sainristil, Josh Wallace, and James Turner. I'm going to wave a wand and assert that the following players will not be back next year because their eligibility has expired or they head to the draft: QB: Jack TuttleRB: Blake Corum, Donovan EdwardsWR: Cornelius Johnson, Roman WilsonTE:OL: LaDarius Henderson, Trevor Keegan, Zak Zinter DE: Jaylen HarrellDT: Kris Jenkins, Cam GoodeLB: Mike BarrettCB: Mike Sainristil, Josh WallaceS: Rod Moore The following players are in the maybe category: QB: JJ McCarthyRB:WR:TE: AJ BarnerOL: Drake Nugent, Karsen Barnhart, Trente Jones DE: Braiden McGregorDT:LB: Junior ColsonCB:S: Makari Paige, Quinten Johnson Aaaaand the following extant contributors (ie, persons who have played non-garbage-time snaps who are not DJ Waller or Amorion Walker) are highly likely to return next year: QB: Alex OrjiRB: Kalel MullingsWR: Tyler Morris, Darrius Clemons, Semaj MorganTE: Max Bredeson, Colston LovelandOL: Myles Hinton DE: Derrick Moore, Josiah StewartDT: Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant, Rayshaun BennyLB: Ernest HausmmanCB: Will Johnson, Ja'Den McBurrowsS: Keon Sabb That maybe category is huge in impact if not in numbers, and it's not out of the question that guys like Clemons or Benny could alight for greener pastures. But we have to put them in bins, and now they are in bins. UPSHOT Michigan doesn't really need a whole lot. The existing roster could enter next year with a pretty good shot at the Big Ten title. The only spots where things could get hairy is QB (if JJ leaves) and OL (if they don't get more than one potential sixth year guy back). But they can up their chances and set themselves up for down the road. Michigan portal priorities: Potential starting WR CB #2 or nickel Established LB Versatile OL DE DT Developmental QB. I'd expect them to hit on 1 and 2 and then fill two or three of the other spots to end up with a slightly smaller portal class than last year. [After THE JUMP: position by position.]

Upon Further Review 2023: Defense vs. Minnesota

UFR GLOSSARY is here. FORMATION NOTES: Minnesota was mostly an under-center or shotgun 3-wide with a WR jetting across. Their 4th down formation was Unbalanced; the guy at the bottom of the line is a TE/eligible receiver. And Michigan used a weird formation on 3rd & 7 with 3 DEs on the field and Harrell and a LB stacked behind the nose that I called 3-1 stack. They also split a DE wide on their 5-2s odd formations that I called 5-2 split—the nose is still over the center. SUBSTITUTION NOTES: There were 40 snaps before Tuttle Time in this one. Graham led the DTs in snaps, playing DT or nose depending on whom he was with. Grant got 14, Jenkins 25, Goode 14, and Benny 16. The DEs were the same except Cameron Brandt got in a bunch after the four starters, signifying he's moved ahead of Kechaun Bennett, who played on the last drive. LB was Colson until Tuttle Time and a split of Hausmann and Barrett. Keon Sabb cycled in with the safeties and got a few snaps in a 3-safety look with Paige at slot. McBurrows returned as the backup nickel. Wallace came off the field for the 5-2 sets and Sainristil shifted outside. Amorion Walker and DJ Waller were the deep backup time CBs, with a few snaps from Keshaun Harris before that, but none of the other CBs played. [After THE JUMP: Stretch practice.]

Upon Further Review 2023: Defense vs Bowling Green

UFR GLOSSARY is here. Also apologies for the 2009-level quality on some of these recordings—my copy of the game was in low-res for a chunk of the 2nd quarter. FORMATION NOTES: Mostly basic stuff we've been charting since Loeffler was a Michigan assistant. Michigan broke out an odd formation from its nickel with the WDE (Moore, at the bottom) playing inside the RT. I called it Nickel Tite. A few notation reminders: parentheticals mean the player is covered. I'm still using hyphens for motion so if you see "H-SB" that means the slot receiver (H) motioned to a splitback (SB) position. "Offset" means the RB is at least a yard behind the QB, not to be confused with "Offset I" which is an I-formation with the FB offset—BGSU used both. "Ace" is another notation that means something different if it's first (QB under center with a single back) as in "Ace TTE" or later in the descriptions (TEs to either side of the formation) as in Gun Ace. I do not know why I am this way. SUBSTITUTION NOTES: DT was the usual rotation with Benny getting more snaps to rest Jenkins. Freshman Trey Pierce came in before Reece Atteberry. At DE the top four split all the (relatively) combative snaps; TJ Guy came in late with the 3rd stringers. Junior Colson went almost the whole way at MLB with Barrett and Hausmann splitting WLB. At safety still no Rod Moore or Zeke Berry. Sabb again played the most snaps of anyone on the team. Paige started and played until the penultimate drive, with Quinten Johnson only subbing in for a couple of drives (one he ended abruptly by himself). Jyaire Hill got some competitive snaps at CB. Sainristil played outside when they went to a 5-2, with Keshaun Harris coming off for an extra DT. Also of interest: the backup nickel was Josh Wallace. Ja'Den McBurrows did not play. THIS WAS A TREAT: Also before we begin, a quick shout out to the broadcasting team. I spent years grousing about football announcers who talk to their listeners like they're idiots. Butt and Provus love the game, think you love it too, and act like you're as curious as they are. Gardner's another one. That two of the guys this space used to chart are now leading the trend towards greater intelligence in football commentary probably doesn't say anything about this space, but both of these facts combined probably do say something about the fans who are lapping it up, so thank you for that.

Upon Further Review 2023: Defense vs ECU

UFR Glossary: Familiarize yourself with all the jargon here. Substitution Notes: There were many subs (it was crazy) so we need to bullet this game. Your starters were McGregor, Jenkins, Graham, and Harrell; Colson and Barrett; Paige, Sabb, Sainristil, Harris and Wallace. Paige left as soon as the outcome was little in doubt. Hausmann rotated at both LB spots. Second team DL was Moore, Goode, Grant, and Stewart. TJ Guy got in first as a 5-2 edge but the Harrell/McGregor/Moore/Stewart got the majority of snaps. At DT, the pattern I'm getting is Grant is a nose, but Benny and Goode can be either. At LB, Jaydon Hood played much of the 2nd half, while Micah Pollard was in for the last two drives only. At safety, Q-Jo replaced Paige, and Sabb was in for Moore. Berry came in at the Paige spot but moved to the Moore spot when they played Brandyn Hillman. Backup corners were Jyaire Hill and DJ Waller. Backup nickel was McBurrows. Final drive participants not already mentioned were DTs Trey Pierce and Reece Atteberry, DEs Kechaun Bennett and Cameron Brandt, LB Christian Boivin, and Nk Kody Jones. Formation Notes: Nothing fancy from either team, except this from Michigan I called "Eagle A9" because it's an Eagle front (wide DTs) with a LB in the A gap and an LB in a wide 9. Usually I just call such things "Exotic" but Eagle showed up a few times so I wanted this sorted in that bin. Just to refamiliarize with our nomenclature I call this formation from ECU "Offset 3x1 RB." Offset because the RB is offset by a yard or more from the QB. 3x1 because it's a 4-wide set with 3 on the field side versus 1 on the boundary side. RB because the RB is flipped to the strongside.

Vroom, Vroom, Vroomy Vroom Vroom

9/2/2023– Michigan 30, East Carolina 3 – 1-0 Well, here we go. The best kind of thing to take from a game against a solid G5 program that's just turned over the vast majority of their personnel is one that is opponent-invariant, and the most opponent-invariant thing in football is quarterbacks dropping dimes. This space has long maintained that if the offensive executes perfectly, they just get to win. Via that lens the most important development from the opener is the prevalence of "nice try, I win" plays. ECU had some moments of excellent coverage that just did not matter. McCarthy started out hot, casually dropping in an NFL-level 15-yard out to the field on Michigan's first drive that featured passes: In addition to the Here Look At My Arm Talent plays he also moved opponents with the power of his mind. Folks have already pointed out the little pump fake on the third Wilson touchdown but this one is probably even better. Wilson isn't open until McCarthy focuses on Loveland: ECU CB to bottom Live I thought that was a weird coverage bust; no, it was just McCarthy manipulating the defense. This is something he did last year, particularly early, but it was an occasional thing. That felt like promise; here it felt more like a preview. There is a warm blanket of a feeling you get when you are suddenly a fan of a football team with a quarterback who is obviously an NFL dude. The ability to drop back and rifle in lasers to guys who are sort of open changes the feeling of third and seven from "yikes" to "you have insulted my family by creating this third and medium situation and now I will exact my vengeance." McCarthy did a version of this early last year as well, turning in 100% downfield success rate performances against Hawaii and UConn. This was different, though. ECU might not be good but this did not feel like the rote walkovers from last year. ECU asked McCarthy some questions, and he answered them. In addition to the two plays embedded above there was the throw to Loveland where ECU sent the house; McCarthy backpedaled to the left a bit to buy another half-second of time, then formed up and delivered a dart. This was not the McCarthy who went on a couple endless sojourns against Maryland last year. He was decisive. He was confident. He was in command. He was locked in to the point where we can individually consider his incompletions: Wilson has the ball punched out early. McCarthy throws behind Johnson on a quick out during the one-minute drill. A linebacker with freaky long arms gets his hand on a ball that's arcing towards an AJ Barner touchdown in the back corner of the endzone. McCarthy breaks the pocket and can't quite get it to Wilson. I don't think 1 and 3 are negatives, but just good plays from the defense, and 4 was a difficult proposition. I did think he'd broken the pocket enough that he did not need to pull the trigger immediately and could have run closer to the LOS. At that point the throws are easier and you can just run if necessary. So that is my complaint from this game. He's going to come in for a silly UFR grade. The season preview said that if Michigan was going to Beat Georgia the McCarthy training wheels needed to come off, and they did. After the first drive 11/16 McCarthy first downs were passes. Michigan ran all the play action we begged for over the offseason, because ECU came in with an aggressive, OSU/TCU game plan. Michigan said no, that's not going to work anymore. Try another idea. AWARDS Known Friends and Trusted Agents Of The Week schwangle! [Barron] you're the man now, dog #1 JJ McCarthy. See above. #2(T) Roman Wilson and Cornelius Johnson. Wilson was more prominent in TDs but Johnson had the best catch of the day, a leaping stab of a ball a bit behind him to pick up a first down. Between them they caught everything that could be caught and seemed to be on the same page as McCarthy in a Jeremy Gallon sort of way. #3(T) Ernest Haussmann, Kenneth Grant, Mike Sainristil, and Josh Wallace. It is extremely difficult to come up with a defensive player for this game because of the huge amount of rotation. Only Keon Sabb and Keshaun Harris had more than 36 snaps and 25 different players had at least 10. But also ECU was held to three points so lets sprinkle some holy water on the D, too. Haussman led Michigan in solo tackles and had a couple of legit sticks; Sainristil had a pick and shut off the outside; Grant induced the Sainristil pick; Wallace almost had a stunning INT of his own but for the vagaries of fate and gave up zero completions on his two targets. Two points each to distinguish them from the clawing pack. Honorable mention: Tommy Doman blasts some balls, including a That's Bait Kickoff. Kris Jenkins and Mason Graham delete all interior runs at them. Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards both flash their ability in mercifully limited opportunities. KFaTAotW Standings. (points: #1: 8, #2: 5, #3: 3, HMs one each. Ties result in somewhat arbitrary assignments.) 8: JJ McCarthy (#1 ECU)4: Roman Wilson (T2 ECU), Cornelius Johnson (T2 ECU)2: Ernest Hausmann (T3 ECU), Kenneth Grant (T3 ECU), Mike Sainristil (T3 ECU), Josh Wallace (T3 ECU)1: Tommy Doman (HM ECU), Kris Jenkins (HM ECU), Mason Graham (HM ECU), Blake Corum (HM ECU), Donovan Edwards (HM ECU). Who's Got It Better Than Us(?) Of The Week JJ McCarthy looks off a flat defender and lays in a gorgeous touchdown to Roman Wilson in the corner of the endzone. Honorable mention: Replay official has the over and lets the first Wilson TD stand. Blake Corum bursts off the left side, giving us some of them good Blake Corum feelings. Mike Sainristil picks off a pass that's a duck because the quarterback is trying not to be flattened by Kenneth Grant. MARCUS HALL EPIC DOUBLE BIRD OF THE WEEK. Michigan runs dive after dive in an attempt to get Edwards a touchdown, resulting in a goal line stand after a fumbled exchange on fourth down. Honorable mention: Michigan's first drive is three runs under the shadow of their own goal line that gets stuffed. ECU's punter is annoyingly good at dropping in line drives just inside the sideline that roll forever. XP is missed. [After THE JUMP: hire a Big 12 coordinator, get a Big 12 defense]

Preview 2023: Linebacker

Previously: Podcast 15.0A, 15.0B, 15.0C. The Story. Quarterback. Running Back. Wide Receiver. Tight End. Interior OL. Defensive Interior. Edge. LINEBACKER: LINEBACKING IS HARD Not a Depth Chart Middle Linebacker Yr. Weakside Linebacker Yr. Junior Colson Jr. Michael Barrett Sr.** Jimmy Rolder So. Ernest Hausmann So. Micah Pollard So. Jaydon Hood So.* It's a fair bet the plurality of position-specific praying in 2022 was for the linebackers. Michigan went into the season with two playable options, one of those a true sophomore who could explode in any direction, and lost the other to a thigh injury for the whole of it. Options past Colson and NHG were Don Brown viper Michael Barrett, RB-ish Brown recruit whom Notre Dame, Wisconsin, and everybody at Michigan's spring game thought better left at RB Kalel Mullings, and freshmen. By the bowl game they were asking a former starting safety to move down. And now? Different story. The twitching ball of azidoazide azide has reached the age of draftability. The viper used the opportunity to turn himself into a bona fide WLB. The thigh guy was sent down to Charlotte to make room for the top free agent in the portal. Last year's semi-playable freshman is now a playable sophomore trying to hold off a Don Brown doom squirrel we were getting ready to write off this time in 2022. The guy everyone wanted to play running back? He actually gets to play running back! Depending on what happens with the immigrant infante's irises, this unit is headed towards something between pretty good and 12-15 Christmases. SHADY'S BACK It may or may not make a difference beyond recruiting, but the guy who rivaled Santa in gifts he's brought to Michigan reputably also knows his way around the second level. You said five, so I'm here for five. [Barron] Once and future Chris Partridge returned to Michigan this offseason after a rocky attempt to coordinate a defense at Ole Miss. The top recruiter among all the Harbaugh lieutenants who've come through Ann Arbor, Partridge was also the linebacking coach during the position's best years in the history of our charting. Granted, they had Devin Bush Jr. (a Partridge recruit) for most of those years. Events not related to Bush: Jabrill Peppers (a Partridge player in HS) was a Heisman candidate as a Viper. Ben Gedeon developed into a solid starter. Mike McCray hit his ceiling. Devin Gil became a serviceable Big Ten player. Josh Ross had an extremely promising early career. Khaleke Hudson did too. Things got a lot worse in the years after Partridge. One reason to think they might take a leap forward is there isn't another LBs coach in the MGoBlog era with that kind of track record. Another is they have an elite athlete on hand who's badly in need of coaching. [After THE JUMP: Back again.]

Fall Roster Overanalysis 2023

The new phonebooks are here, and they are heavy. Unlike most years, when fall rosters are when we learn a guy or two has graduated and moved on, everybody expected to be on the roster was on it. I wouldn't say there's no news, however, because some of the reported masses are eye-opening indeed.

Notes Born in Uganda. Film: Michigan vs Nebraska every snap: Vs Wisconsin every snap. Senior highlights. More HS highlights. One of the concerns the schools had in allowing one-time free transfers to every college athlete was the rich getting richer. It hasn't worked out that way—most of the guys who've put themselves on the market are moving down to find playing time (by choice or otherwise), or have personal or programmatic (coach left, system changed, NFT market) reasons. There have been a few up-transfers within conferences, though hardly more than there were prior to the portal, which is a surprise considering the "NIL" market is now out in the open. That hasn't stopped the content industry from producing enough Marxist readings on the subject to cover Europe. And while they're mostly focused on Deion Sanders going curb shopping to demeltuckerize his roster as quickly as possible, the most cited example of the rich enriching themselves is Michigan acquiring Nebraska up-and-comer Ernest Hausmann. To hear some Nebraska sites talk, this is an economic emergency. If a regular Playoff team can swipe a guy poised to become a program-defining superstar... ...then it might be nice to be that Playoff team. [After THE JUMP: Up and coming.]
