Wolverine Wednesday: Hopes The Roster Stays Solid Today

After two straight days of roster attrition, I hope the Wolverines don't lose anyone today.  I am still surprised about Je'Ron Stokes who was on the two deep last year decided to leave.  I guess the Fall Camp buzz on Jeremy Gallon was taking his snaps.

Here is a snapshot quote from Brady Hoke's press conference yesterday that might give us a hint on why the kids left:  "Well, it was, to be honest with you, it was the right thing for them and what they felt," Hoke said. "We wish them the best, and they're great kids, but sometimes kids move on for different reasons - homesick or whatever it might be, and I'm not going to get into that. It usually works out for everybody."

Other important "bites" from his press conference:
  • If they had a game today: Mike Shaw would be the starting RB

  • Thought the scrimmage was physical

  • Troy, JT and Courtney are fighting it out at CB

  • Brink would be the starting 5 tech DE if the season started today

  • Overall the entire team (both units) needs to improve on consistency


Recruiting News:

  • The web site Bucknuts rates Chris Wormley as the #1 prospect in Ohio for the 2012 class.  That is pretty high praise with guys like Stanford, Washington and Kalis in Ohio as well.


  • Ace from Mgoblog interviews 2012 verbal Caleb Stacey.
