I think Schef gets is pretty bad for being a Michigan fanboy tho. He usually goes hard for the Maize and Blue on the air .. I think he was tryna be as professional as possible.

Michigan junior offensive lineman Dan Samuelson announced he is transferring.


Samuelson was a three-star recruit coming out of Plymouth, Ind., in 2013.

Samuelson made the announcement on Facebook saying it was an "incredibly tough" decision.



"With great sadness, I have decided that my time at the University of Michigan is done," Samuelson wrote. "The past couple years have been wonderful, and something that I will never forget. I am beyond blessed for them. As time has come and gone, I've thought about what is best for myself in regards to football and obtaining the goal of playing time. In reality, that wasn't going to happen at Michigan. I will be transferring to another school after doing much research and talking with my parents. ...

"For the many families I have come to know and love; I would love to come and see you all. Please get ahold of me and we can set up a time. This by no means means goodbye. To my teammates; I love you all and you are my brothers. You are about to embark on a very awesome journey under this new coaching staff. Enjoy the success that will come with it! I will be watching."

It's the $ec/buckeye effect.

We tried to win without curving corners, and it's been proven with the recent national championship winners that it isn't possible.. So times are changing. We're gonna thread every rule there is, just like all of the other elite teams out there.

This much is true.. Michigan rumblings will start this season.. But starting with next season and on.. Michigan will be a fukking problem again. For years to come..

Alabama and LSU are known for their recruiting classes of 35 plus. Can't oversign like that in the big ten so Harbaugh has to pick players off like Bosch and Samuelson. I just hope we don't lower the academic standards MSU style. Rich Rod brought in Cissoko and Feagin and came on campus and became stickup kids

in addition to @@ChrisBalas' update yesterday, which you can find here, a few more rumblings from fall camp.

• Perhaps the biggest note is that redshirt junior Jeremy Clark has switched positions, moving from safety to cornerback to fill a significant need. The Wolverines like junior Jourdan Lewis at the cornerback spot but want more competition for grad-senior Wayne Lyons, junior Channing Stribling and redshirt freshman Brandon Watson. Clark, at 6-4, 205 pounds, has the length and size, plus good speed, to really compete for playing time immediately, and with a glut of safeties on the roster, the move makes a lot of sense.

From early indications, Clark has been one of the better performers at cornerback and could get a quick look to start the year.

• Michigan is in a 3-4 defense most of the time, and the front seven has been "nasty" in one source's estimation, but the coaches have backed off the press-man coverage scheme they wanted to employ because they simply do not feel they have enough physical cornerbacks to run it. They're in "tinkering" mode right now trying to figure out how to best use the personnel they do have back there.

• The defense is ahead of the offense, no shock there, but by one account, it's significantly ahead right now, and the question that always leads to is whether the defense is really, really good or the offense is just bad. Michigan is hoping its the former.

• Redshirt freshman safety Jabrill Peppers had not played offense yet. There has been "talk" of him playing on offense from players on the team, but he's been so far focused on defense.

• While there have been some positive reports on junior Shane Morris, in this person's estimation, the job remains senior Jake Rudock's to lose. Rudock has been the sharpest of the QBs and has made the fewest mistakes.

• At receiver, freshman Brian Cole has been an early standout, showing the ability to make something happen when he has the ball. While redshirt junior Jehu Chesson and redshirt freshman Drake Harris have also been running very good routes and have shown an ability to get behind the defense on vertical plays.

OL stuff: Michigan's current starting offensive line appears to be similar to last year except for one switch: Ben Braden has been taking reps at left guard, and Erik Magnuson has moved over to right tackle. That gives us a line of the following:

LT: Cole
LG: Braden
C: Glasgow
RG: Kalis
RT: Magnuson

Two other names I was told positive things about were true freshman tackle Grant Newsome and redshirt sophomore guard David Dawson. Newsome has taken some of his reps with the twos, while Dawson is probably the best non-starter on the line at this point.

WR: Nothing incredibly new regarding the wide receivers except for a reiteration that true freshman Grant Perry has been having an awesome camp so far.

According to the source I spoke with, who is not the same as the last notes we put together, Perry has been taking his slot repsexclusively with the first team.

It's appearing more and more that the Brother Rice product is going to see the field early and often inside. Outside of the veterans in Chesson and Darboh, the battle on the outside continues. I wasn't given any specifics as to who was standing out there, but Brian Cole is a name to continue to watch.

Injury scare: I can confirm that true freshman tight end Tyrone Wheatley Jr. did sustain a knee injury during practice this past week.

The original fear was that he tore some ligaments in the knee, but upon further review and an examination, he has a knee sprain and is expected to miss only a few weeks instead of the entire season.

This may hinder his development as fall camp is of the utmost importance for prospects who didn't enroll early. Michigan has originally viewed Wheatley as someone who possibly could have seen some playing time this season at the tight end spot. It remains to be seen whether or not that holds up.

QB battle: Not a ton new to report on the quarterback battle. There's been continued rotation up front as the coaches go through the motions to narrow things down.

Our money continues to be on Iowa transfer Jake Rudock to eventually win the job, but that's not off of anything concrete that we've been told at this juncture.

Camp atmosphere: One thing we know for sure: this camp has been tougher than any of the camps that Brady Hoke held in his four seasons in Ann Arbor. This is something we've confirmed with multiple sources.

It really fits the "make practice hard to make the games easier" mantra that many, including Jabrill Peppers, noted during Michigan's Media Day on August 6th.

On the flip side, I've talked to multiple people that say the players have been better prepared for the camp because of what Kevin Tolbert has done for them in the weight room. His approach in the physical development of the players is a lot more individualized than what the players were taught under the last staff. It's the type of thing that should pay dividends for players like Jake Butt or Chris Wormley, who had previous knee injuries and are 100% fully recovered.

First and foremost, Isaac is taking over! He is now looking like the five star he was coming out of HS. I said in another post he has been difficult to take down once he gets past the line of scrimmage and into the secondary. He catches the ball very well out of the backfield and will run right by and over people. After yesterday's scrimmage, he may be the starter in front of Smith. Harbaugh/Drevno are putting in some old school looks (option, three backs, big sets with multiple TE's creating a mismatch).

Peppers, Peppers, and more Peppers. He is literally playing/learning multiple positions on defense (Safety, Nickel, CB, special teams etc.). Why CB? As I stated earlier, Durkin wants to play press man coverage in the worst way. He wants to be aggressive, but can't due to a lack of play makers and skills on the other corner. Enter Peppers! They trust Hill enough to play the other safety and Lyons can play Nickel when needed.

Finally, the most important battle on the team is at QB. It continues to be Rudock. He is not giving way. He is too consistent. Morris still struggles with some of the basics. It's all about experience and mechanics, of which Rudock continues to be the manager you expected him to be . This is Rudock's job to lose. O'Korn continues to get nothing but praise. He would start immediately if eligible.


I fukking knew Ty Isaac would be a beast.
