Summary
This week, in a particularly slow week in Michigan sports, the crew opens with a discussion on the Wolverines’ annual Barbecue at the Big House recruiting event and how the event may differ from past renditions, the latest with five-star targets Daxton Hill and George Karlaftis and whether Michigan could ultimately land commitments from either of them or other five-star targets. Then, we shift to discussions about the current team, as we answer questions from listeners about potential early departures to the NFL after this season, the possibility of injured offensive tackle Grant Newsome playing competitively ever again, which Michigan assistant might be the next scapegoat in the eyes of fans as well as potential causes behind the Wolverines’ staggering 12-year drought in road games against ranked teams.
