Site News: Summer is Coming

The summer months are coming, which means there’s a little more free time to work on the site. So now is always a good time to get a feel for the direction of the site.

What about the site needs to be added, improved, fixed, etc.? If you have experience in site design, think about widgets, plug-ins, layout, etc. If you’re a fan, think about information, content, etc.

A few things to think about:

  • Does the site need a Twitter feed on the sidebar?
  • Do you want to see more pictures and videos of recruits? Do you prefer clicking on links to highlight videos?
  • What types of posts do you prefer to see linked on the nightly posts – coaching posts, Michigan news, national college football news, other?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Chandler (AZ) Hamilton QB Tyler Shough

Tyler Shough – QB – Chandler (AZ) Hamilton: Shough is a 6’4″, 187 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, and Michigan, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #20 pro-style quarterback, and #544 overall. As a junior in 2016, he completed 142/228 passes for 2,079 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions. Shough has said that he’s not afraid of competition or of Michigan taking two quarterbacks in the 2017 class, so he supposedly won’t be scared off by the recent commitment of Olympia (FL) Olympia’s Joe Milton to the Wolverines. Shough plans to be on campus on Saturday, May 13.

A Look Back: The 2001 Michigan NFL Draft Class

Mo Williams (Getty images), pick #43 of the NFL draft in 2001, started 100 games as a pro after starting for Michigan in 2000.

 Michigan had a school record 11 players drafted in 2017.  It was, for sure, a great day to be a Michigan Wolverine.  In fact, as many Wolverines were drafted in 2017 as were drafted in the four previous years combined.  In light of this, I decided to look back this week at another one of Michigan’s most successful draft classes: 2001.

 

The 2001 draft wasn’t as deep for the Wolverines, as only five players were picked, but it was an insanely talented and relatively unique group.  All five players were taken in the first 43 picks of the draft, and they were all from the offensive side of the ball.
