Good morning, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Happy Friday, everybody.

T-G-I-F.

It is Friday, May 8th, 2026.

This is the Michigan insider.

This is the Big 1050.

WTKA online at the big 1050.com. Another Pistons victory. Getting ready for the weekend. A lot to get to on the show after the Pistons victory last night. We heard from J.B. Bickerstaff and Danis Jenkins. We'll bring that to you coming up in a little bit. And then we will get back to, or actually, we will get to the return of the Michigan Recruiting Insider podcast with Sam and his guys talking Michigan football, recruiting and beyond.

So we'll get to that coming up starting later on this hour as well here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com.

We also have a special live edition of steady dropping dimes.

Daniel Horton's going to join us in the 8 o'clock hour. John Eubacon's going to join us for the 9 o'clock hour. All that and more here on the big 1050. WTCA online at the big 1050.com. We'll get the pistons in just a minute. We will get to other big basketball news in just a minute. But there was an update from Terrick Scoobble from yesterday. So according to a piece from

John Heyman, he tweeted out, Terrick Scoobel elbow surgery was such a success. He could start

working out within days. And two months is even seen as a conservative estimate for the two-time

Sy Young winner to return four to six weeks possible. One relatively small loose body was removed, end quote. And that came, as I said, from John Heyman. And he's kind of an agent mouthpiece. To be honest, he has the Michigan insider blocked on Twitter because we called him out a bunch of years ago. He said that Jim Harbaugh was never. He was, again, an agent mouthpiece, an NFL echo chamber guy, although he's really a baseball guy.

I don't know why he was dipping into NFL at the time.

But he made some asinine comment about Jim Harbaugh back in like, what was that, 2015 or whatever, 2014.

And I called him on it using the Michigan Insider or through Twitter on that Michigan Insider, and he didn't like it. He blocked us. Doesn't mean I can't see his stuff. And he made that report yesterday. But he is kind of an agent mouthpiece, which is why he didn't like that we were telling him he was wrong back then. So anyway. And I know he's friends with some guys that we know. And I've asked for that to be removed, and I guess he doesn't care.

And honestly, we don't really either.

I think it's actually kind of funny because he was very thin-skinned about some Jim Harbaugh comment. He was wrong. He was flat out wrong because something about never coming to college and all that kind of stuff. Anyway, he made that point about Terrick Scoobble. I know when I said it to Sam, Sam was still like, yeah, we'll wait and see on that one.

But if an agent's mouthpiece is saying that he can... point about Terrick Scoobble. I know when I said it to Sam, Sam was still like, yeah, we'll wait and see on that one.

But if an agent's mouthpiece is saying that he can be back in four to six weeks, then that's kind of, I think that's kind of the timeline. So we'll see. But that was the news from the Tigers yesterday. We'll get to the pistons from last night. I'm kind of going through in the order in which this stuff appeared yesterday. Then we got news that the Players Era event in Las Vegas that Michigan won last year by,

winning each game by 30, 40 points.

That event is returning.
