Summary
This week’s episode actually discusses all three categories surrounding Michigan. We begin by discussing the Michigan basketball team’s 1-1 week, looking into what doomed the Wolverines in their loss to Michigan State, how significant it was, the latest with Jordan Poole and Charles Matthews and how much of the loss was the Wolverines playing poorly versus the Spartans playing well.
Then, we break down Michigan’s dominant home finale win over Nebraska, looking into the Wolverines’ push to play through the post, their defensive adjustments and how much can be read into a blowout of the reeling Cornhuskers. We also dissect the latest in Colin Castleton and David DeJulius, and what kind of role they can play for Michigan down the stretch.
Following that discussion, we next look at Michigan football two weeks out of spring practices starting. We first review our rankings earlier in the week of where each position group stands, dissecting why Michigan’s passing offense may be solid, why the defense has some questions to answer — especially up front — and what to make of Michigan’s inexperienced running backs corps. We also break down which Wolverines may be due for a big season, and which skill position player we think will get the most touches.
Finally, we close by looking at the Michigan perspective of the latest 2020 football recruiting rankings, including which rising targets the Wolverines are in on, other recruits to keep an eye on and more.
