Michigan Friday: Spike Calls It A Day



















In some surprising news, Spike has decided to retire from basketball: “This has been the toughest decision I have ever had to make,” said Albrecht. “After taking a hard look at what is best for me, and this team, I will be stepping away from the game that has meant so much to me.



“I am so thankful for what Coach Beilein, the assistants and the medical staff have done for me during my career and in particular over the last year while I was dealing with this injury. I just have a little more to go and I really need to take the proper time to finish my rehab.



“The University of Michigan has provided me and my family so much, I don’t really even have the words to express my gratitude. This place is truly special and I hope I was able to leave just a little bit of a mark during my career. I cannot thank Wolverine nation enough for all the love and support they have shown me throughout my four years here. Forever and always — Go Blue!”



Spike has always been one of my favorite players and my son and I just ran into him at the Atlantis a couple of weeks ago. He gave us a “Go Blue!”. His presence will be missed on the floor and in the locker room. I hope he gets healthy and leaves A2 with his degree.





You want some more bad news that is in rumor mode? There are some rumors floating around that Peppers has some type of hand injury and might be out for the Citrus Bowl. He was not at the football bust (Michigan said he was studying) and some students have said he has been seen with his hand/arm wrapped. Just rumors at this point, he tweeted yesterday that people need to worry about themselves.




DC buzz: It seems that Georgia’s DC Pruitt is no longer considering Michigan and will not meet with Jimmy today. Sounds like a leverage move for more money with Bama? Reports are now that Lance Anderson has been offered the job and is expected to make a decision this weekend. My gut decision is he probably doesn’t leave Stanford, but he could have a better chance of a head coaching position under Jimmy. Probably a tough decision for him.




We are starting to hear that senior QB’s are transferring for their 5th year: Texas AM’s Kyle Allen, Trevor Knight from Oklahoma and Dakota Prukop, Montana State all are looking for new schools.


Recurring Updates:



-Dead Period is from 12/14 – 1/13. I assume the UA kids could attend the Citrus Bowl. For those that don’t know, the day after the Citrus Bowl is the UA Game at the Citrus Bowl.



-It seems that the loss of Durkin could have caused a few issues in LaVert Hill’s recruitment. His position coaches aren’t effected but it seems he was close with DJ. LaVert will be on campus this weekend for his official.



-Kareem Walker will announce his decision next Wednesday. He wants to enroll early, so this announcement date makes a lot of sense. This has to be a good sign for the Wolverines.



-New offer TN WR Nate Johnson will take an official to A2 this weekend, after the dead period he has officials set up for Miami, Vandy and Northwestern. He is planning for a signing day decision. My guess is the Michigan coaches can’t wait that long in a class with limited space. I would imagine we hear soon, if Nate is going to be part of this class or not.

When Morgan State University staged a lavish grand opening of its new $80 million building housing the Earl G. Graves School of Business and Management last week, the historic significance of the occasion could hardly be missed. “This is not just a grand opening for a business school,” said the university’s president, David Wilson, enthused.

Elbert Darrell Crump, 47, will face 20 years in prison under a plea deal with federal prosecutors, with sentencing sent for March 4, according to U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein’s office. The first robbery was Jan. 14, when a masked Crump entered the Dollar Tree on East Joppa Road and pointed a semi-automatic handgun at a cashier before fleeing with cash from the register drawer and a dollar from a nearby customer.

Michigan Thursday: A Lot of Things In The Wind

http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/agnesliveshere.wordpress.com/49/

There is a ton of speculation right now on who the next DC is going to be. We know Scott Shafer was picked up by DJ at Maryland and it seemed Jimmy wasn’t that interested anyway. The two candidates that seem to be coming up is Georgia’s DC Jeremy Pruitt and Stanford DC Lance Anderson. Reports are that Jeremy is scheduled to meet with Jimmy on Friday. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy has already spoken with Lance. Some have speculated that Lance might be considering an offer from Michigan right now.



Pruitt is the biggest name out there for an available DC. He is known as a great coach and a great recruiter, though he does have some baggage. He is known as a tough person to work with and there were reports he got into some type of physical altercation with former Georgia coach Mark Richt this past season. He is not expected to be retained when Alabama DC Kirby Smart takes over Georgia. There is some thinking that Pruitt may also be a candidate for Alabama’s DC role as that is where he played his college ball. Pruitt’s specialty is also coaching DB’s and Michigan already has two of those coaches currently on staff.





In what was expected, David Reese an instate LB commit, de-committed last night. Michigan recruited him as a FB and then he wanted to play LB. David wants to enroll early and Michigan didn’t have a spot for him. This is a clear sign that Michigan was not 100% sold on him playing LB. With that said, David has had a ton of offers since his Michigan commit and will end up at a big time school. Good luck to him!




Michigan WR recruiting might be an issue. Michigan just offered 3 star 5’11 Tennessee WR Nate Johnson. This offer is pretty late in the process. NJ WR Donald Stewart had an in-home with Michigan coaches this week and continues to be very interested in Michigan. Corely is expected to be going to MSU.




Instate DB Lavert Hill will take his official visit to A2 this weekend.
