4 days ago | wolverineswire.usatoday.com | Isaiah Hole

When Dusty May took over the Michigan basketball program, he inherited a commitment in Durral 'Phat Phat' Brooks, and brought in two in Justin Pippen and LJ Cason. But now, that 2024 recruiting class has been decimated. Pippen and Brooks both opted to move on while Cason looks poised to play a major role in the upcoming season after a solid showing in the postseason this past year. Pippen ended up transferring to Cal, but little was known about where Brooks would end up.

Michigan football didn't have a large number of players who transferred out in the spring sessions, but it did see some departures.

Michigan football has a small window where recruiting the 2026 class isn’t taking center stage, but it’s about to pick back up with official visits starting at the end of the month.

Many entered the 2025 NFL draft expecting Penn State tight end Tyler Warren to be the top player at his position taken after a solid senior season. However, NFL franchises saw things differently, more akin to how mock drafters expected things to go in the preseason.

Michigan Wolverines Aamir Hall rookie minicamp tryout invite by Lions

5 days ago | wolverineswire.usatoday.com | Isaiah Hole

Almost every draft-eligible Wolverine found a new home in the NFL this offseason, with seven players being drafted and several others signing as undrafted free agents. But not all. One of the players who was left out was Aamir Hall, the transfer cornerback who spent time at Richmond and Albany. Hall was a starter and came on late to the point where he was locking down receivers from Ohio State and Alabama to close out his college career.

1 week ago | wolverineswire.usatoday.com | Isaiah Hole

Michigan football has found an unlikely ally -- in some ways -- in its fight against the NCAA due to 'signgate' in none other than the most prominent former Ohio State coach. Appearing on The Triple Option Podcast, Meyer reacted to Rob Stone about the Wolverines potentially vacating wins in the aftermath of the Connor Stalions saga -- a popular solution from many in self-proclaimed 'Buckeye Nation.'“Pump the brakes. Don’t even go there,” Meyer said.
Jack Sawyer says Ohio State winning a championship 'erases' losing to Michigan

1 week ago | wolverineswire.usatoday.com | Isaiah Hole

Some are starting to say that The Game is losing importance in Columbus and this isn't going to help decry that narrative. Former Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers and appeared on a podcast with former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who asked him if 'it's OK to lose to Michigan and win a national championship.' While Sawyer said that The Game has certain importance, he somewhat negated his own answer immediately.
