Good morning, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Happy Thursday, everybody.

It is Thursday, January 22nd, 2026.

This is the Michigan Insider.

This is the Big 1050.

WTK online at the big 1050.com coming up in a little bit.

The Michigan Recruiting Insider podcast with Sam Webb, Bryce Maritch, and Steve Lorenz.

The guys are getting into early 2027 recruiting priorities as Michigan's still wrapping up their class of 2026, if you will, as they brought in Ernest Nunley was an official announcement yesterday.

For example, and we talked about him on the show yesterday, but he was an official announcement yesterday by the Michigan Wolverines.

They're still bringing in the announcing guys from the transfer portal, announced yesterday officially was Houston, Kayana Torres, who is the former Nebraska offensive linemen.

So Nunley has four years available.

Well, he's going to be a true freshman when he arrives on campus, obviously.

And then for Houston, he is coming out of Nebraska.

He registered this past season, a little bit of experience,

but redshirted this past season, and he'll have four years of eligibility remaining.

So obviously, as you hit the portal and hit recruiting in 2026, you start looking ahead to 27 and that is the conversation that Sam, Bryce and Steve have coming up here on the Michigan

Recruiting Insider podcast here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com at around 805. Of course, it's a Thursday, which means we will have the top dog of the week with the Humane Society of Huron Valley here on the show. And then for the 9 o'clock hour, the MGOBlog roundtable with Brian Cook, Seth Fisher. And Craig is under the weather. As he said, unless he makes a big turn. Not expecting Craig this morning. He is under the weather. Hopefully Craig can feel better by tomorrow because we'd like to see Craig back at the Chrysler Center tomorrow night. Big night coming up tomorrow night at the Chrysler Center. So no men's or women's basketball for Michigan last night. The women's basketball team is in action tonight.

The men's basketball team is in action tomorrow night.

Last night of the Big Ten, I don't think any real surprises.

Illinois, actually maybe one surprise, I should say.

But Illinois at home took care of business against Maryland, 8970.

Nebraska at home remains undefeated after they beat Washington, 76666.
