Summary

Michigan football is set to add a familiar face back to the program in Chris Partridge, though his role at this point is undefined and there could be some more staff news to come with it. Regardless, the Wolverines are getting a big fish back in the fold who was an ace recruiter on head coach Jim Harbaugh’s staff from 2016-19. Each week at 6 p.m., The Wolverine’s Anthony Broome, Clayton Sayfie and Chris Balas discuss the top storylines of the week with both football and basketball. This week’s topics include the reported hire of Partridge, the basketball team staying alive with wins over Northwestern and Ohio State and a segment made up entirely of your questions. Broome and Sayfie held down the fort this week.
