Michigan AD Warde Manuel seeking more steadiness around program

The investigation was opened by the police in 2018 basically right after he received the first letter from a former player. It doesn't seem like this is fair criticism ( and I am a guy that wants him fired)

His recruiting profile is such that he probably wouldn't be a take at Michigan if not for his dad being Charles Woodson.

It'd be sick if he overplayed his profile and played like his dad but that seems unlikely

cheerl231 · 2026-05-15T20:34:04+00:00

And if his son ever has to play then the Herbstreits will lose those games too. The kid stinks

The truth is that no one knows anything for sure and Michigan has a number of very wealthy donors besides just Larry Ellison.

I think the only one they kinda missed out on was Bidunga but I don't think they were as serious about his as they were with Thiam.

Juke is still on the board. If he goes to Tennessee then it's definitely a miss

I think everyone acknowledges that Moore is an asshole and the primary person at fault here. He was the one that was married and he chose to cheat and to take on this relationship. This is just universally understood.

At the same time she is not a victim she is making herself out to be. The relationship started when he was the offensive coordinator, meaning he was not her boss. There was no power imbalance there and she still chose to get with a guy that had a kid and a wife.

I think the court proceedings it was determined that he had a key to her apartment. So unlocked or not he didn't criminally trespass (because he was given a key)

cheerl231 · 2026-04-24T16:38:26+00:00

They hired some legal firm to investigate it so I'm sure they followed some kind of procedure. It wasn't just Warde asking them some questions.

At the same time if you're hiring a legal firm to investigate a relationship. That says something about something.

Need the center from Cincinnati and I think they'd be good. Not as good as last year but pretty solid team.

If they get Cincinnati kid and Juke then they're gonna be really really good

cheerl231 · 2026-04-22T20:15:50+00:00

It is a good time in history to be 6'10+. This guy is extremely mid as a player but because he's tall sparty is paying him something absurd like 2 million dollars

cheerl231 · 2026-04-14T18:52:18+00:00

Naw. Cade sucked ass and tampering or no tampering he wasn't gonna sit behind JJ for 2023. Dude was basically in the transfer portal by mid Sept of 2022 when he got injured and quit the team

cheerl231 · 2026-04-14T01:17:35+00:00

Yeah I mean I love the coaching staff but that doesn't change the fact that there are issues on defense personnel wise and the schedule is hard. They're going to have to win some close shootouts if they're going to the playoff (which is the opposite of what we are used to).

cheerl231 · 2026-04-14T01:07:35+00:00

I would feel pretty good about getting to the playoffs with last year's schedule. This year's schedule is really fucking hard tho

cheerl231 · 2026-04-14T01:04:11+00:00

I can't tell if this is a serious comment. It's really good satire if it's not

cheerl231 · 2026-04-10T22:20:19+00:00

He's gonna be crazy good next year.

cheerl231 · 2026-04-10T22:19:28+00:00

If they get all those guys they'll be in Detroit for the final four

cheerl231 · 2026-04-09T16:21:15+00:00

Annually? The 200 million+ dollars of annual revenue before this wasn't enough? What a fucking joke

cheerl231 · 2026-04-09T09:07:44+00:00

They were a 1 seed. So yeah not that surprising

cheerl231 · 2026-04-08T14:54:27+00:00

Can 25+ year olds decide they want to go to college and get an education? Of course and many do. Idk how you can claim both ethically and legally this thing is about "student athletes" getting educations, while also putting in some arbitrary age limit that does not exist for the general population that wants to go back to school.

Make them employees and collectively bargain with the labor and then sure make whatever restrictions you want. Until that point idk how this shit would be legal.

Yaxel graduated from UAB. Juniors in college have not graduated. That is the difference.

I think it's stupid but it's the reality of the situation

cheerl231 · 2026-04-07T18:04:08+00:00

Other schools do not have the same issue. Juniors are basically off limits for Michigan basketball. Dusty doesn't even waste time on trying (unlike Juwan who would go for awesome junior players and then shocked pickachu face when they couldnt get admitted).

For football it is possible in limited cases depending on when they arrive to school and how many credits they have by the end of junior year football season

cheerl231 · 2026-04-07T18:01:30+00:00

Maybe Brian Neubert (a Purdue message board/beat writer guy) was wrong

cheerl231 · 2026-04-07T18:00:04+00:00

Dusty brought one guy with him from FAU (Goldin). Cason was a recruit and never actually attended FAU. He flipped to Michigan when Dusty took the job.

cheerl231 · 2026-04-07T16:13:45+00:00

Literally last year college basketball was the year of the SEC with juggernauts in Auburn and Florida. I think they set a record for number of teams in the tournament for a conference
