The State of Michigan Pay Sites

This was the first Google image result for “Sam Webb.” Let’s roll with it. (image via Wikipedia)

UPDATE: I have placed a poll on the right sidebar asking for your opinion on the pay sites.

Yesterday, it was announced that Tim Sullivan would be leaving The Wolverine to “pursue other opportunities.” Just a few days ago, it was confirmed that fellow Wolverine.com contributor Michael Spath – who had worked for the site for 15 years – was also leaving. That leaves editor John Borton and writers Chris Balas and Brandon Brown. Borton put a post up on The Fort – which is Michigan’s premium message board on Rivals – thanking Sullivan and Spath for their service, and then advertising the openings, asking for new applicants. While it had appeared for a couple weeks that Spath was moving on to bigger and better things, he has since intimated on Twitter that the departure was not his choice.

Goodbye, Joe Bolden

Joe Bolden (#35, image via Michigan Daily)

HIGH SCHOOL
Bolden went to Cincinnati (OH) Colerain and committed to Michigan in April of 2011 (LINK

). I initially gave him a TTB Rating of 77 before bumping him up to an 88 (LINK) after hype started to build following the Under Armour All-American Game.

COLLEGE
Bolden showed promise as a true freshman backup linebacker, when he made 31 tackles, 4 TFLs, 1 sack, and 1 FR, and he was named to a couple All-Big Ten Freshman teams. He started four games in 2013 and made 54 tackles, 4 TFLs, and 2 sacks. He became a full-time starter as a junior and made 102 tackles, 4 TFLs, 2 sacks, and 1 PBU. As a senior in 2015, his stat line was 83 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, and 1 fumble recovery.

STATS
270 tackles, 18.5 TFLs, 5 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 PBU
