Summary
In this episode, we briefly discuss Michigan football announcing that it can return to full capacity this fall, where Michigan sits in the NCAA Transfer Portal and look at the Michigan softball team’s season so far and what this weekend’s NCAA Tournament regional has in store for the Wolverines.
We begin with a brief update on the Wolverines announcing that they can return to full capacity for the 2021 season. We then turn our attention to Michigan’s strong pursuit of Oregon State defensive tackle graduate transfer Jordan Whittley, and assess his potential fit should he commit to the Wolverines and the context of his recruitment. We discuss the importance of Michigan landing a defensive tackle in the transfer portal, and why Michigan might not be done recruiting the position.
We then take a peek at the rest of Michigan’s depth chart, and reassess where the Wolverines might also be inclined to look for options in the transfer portal.
Finally, we close the show with a look at the Michigan softball team. We discuss the Wolverines’ staggering pitching staff, how beneficial that can be in the postseason, Michigan’s improved batting lineup and their regional draw. We also discuss the strong pushback from the Pac-12 and Big Ten about the NCAA Tournament draws, as multiple schools have claimed an SEC bias in the field.

| 0:50.4 | now it sounds a little silly. We discussed the potential of Michigan eventually announcing that it would allow capacity |
