With eight games left in the Big Ten season, including road trips to Ohio State and Michigan State that will be nearly impossible to win, Michigan can start worrying about its postseason future ...

Michigan headman Rich Rodriguez fields more questions about his 2010 recruiting class.
"I feel like that is a great place for me, where I can start all over and make something out of nothing, make nothing into something," Demart Dorsey said Thursday in an exclusive interview with the Free Press.
Calvin Magee might have felt like a lactose-intolerant visitor at a dairy convention on national signing day, seeing no less than 16 of Michigan's 27-man haul go to the defensive side of the ball. Throw in a punter, and Magee might have reason to cry over spilt milk ... but he's not.
Dorsey's admissions, outlined in police reports obtained by the Free Press, contrast with Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez' portrayal of Dorsey being "in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Michigan 11-11 (4-6 Big Ten) Yes, it's come to the point in the season where I've run out of pithy, depressing titles to put on basketball posts. "Northwestern 67, Michigan 52" describes it more succinctly than some lame 2-word phrase probably could. I wanted this basketball team to be good, and as an optimist, I am among the last to give up hope. I am constantly looking for evidence that the football team will improve from year to year, evidence that the basketball team is better than their r

"I just feel I can be the next No. 1 receiver that everybody will talk about," the new Wolverine says. And he literally means No. 1, as in wearing the No. 1 jersey, which has not been worn since Edwards left Michigan after the 2004 season.
Devin Gardner may very well lead Michigan “back to the promised land,” as CBS College Sports recruiting analyst Tom Lemming suggested he might two months ago. Just don’t assume it’s going to happen this year.......

A little background on Michigan and Demar Dorsey from a reliable source: Dorsey started seriously looking around after Urban Meyer had his momentary retirement and both Charlie Strong, his future defensive coordinator, and Vance Bedford, his primary recruiter and future position coach, left for Louisville. Bedford, of course, had two stints as Michigan's defensive backs coach under Lloyd Carr. Michigan got involved with Dorsey when Bedford called up Rich Rodriguez and told him to look at the ki

All through playing college basketball and the NBA and a stint in coaching, Gary Grant flew everywhere he went. So this time, with his first Michigan basketball home game since his playing days ended in the mid-1980s looming Saturday against......
Updated. The depth chart by class has been updated. Let me know if there are errors. I believe Brandin Hawthorne is gunning for a medical redshirt and that Nick Sheridan is going the GA route this year. I put Baquer Sayed on it since he seems like he has a chance to contribute. By my count, Michigan has 13 to give right now, so a class of 18 or so is probably in the cards next year. Jalen winners. The four winners of signed Jalen Rose t-shirts: Lauren Leb, Brandon Cox, Nathan McFeters, and Brook

The main question I had for Rodriguez: Why assume an unnecessary risk on this player? What's the point?
When Michigan was assembling its 2010 recruiting targets, there was one undeniable fact: The defense needed help. There simply weren't enough players.
After landing highly rated Demar Dorsey out of Lauderdale Lakes, Fla., after he de-committed from Florida, Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez gave credit to Calvin Magee, his offensive coordinator, and Denard Robinson, a freshman quarterback who is Dorsey's cousin.
Scott Kennedy, director of online scouting, Scout.com: "A really good class...the system should be full now. No more excuses. What I like about Devin Gardner, they're highest rated player, is he's a hybrid of the two (quarterbacks) that are already there. He's not quite the runner that Denard Robinson is, but he's a better runner than Tate Forcier. He's not as good a passer as Tate, but he's a much better passer than Denard Robinson, and he's considerably bigger than both of them. He's g
When Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez embraced the "all in" slogan for his football team, he couldn't have imagined Ricardo Miller. The freshman wide receiver embraced it like no one else. He was the first member of the 2010 class, committing in September 2008, and took control from there.
The defense allowed nearly 400 total yards a game last year, including 221 in the air, so it needs help. The running back position seems to be wide open, and the Wolverines are still settling on a quarterback:
"Immediately the competition has risen on the defensive side of the football," Michigan's coach said Wednesday as he evaluated the 27 new Wolverines on National Signing Day.
Judging by the rankings and the top names in their recruiting classes, help is on the way. That's a good thing, because Michigan and Michigan State need plenty of it.
University of Michigan regents met with school President Mary Sue Coleman in a closed session Wednesday to discuss investigations of the football team and allegations by some former players that time limits on practices were exceeded.
Depending on the NBA scouting service, most think Harris needs another season to improve. He looks to be a late second-round pick or go undrafted if he leaves.
Here are the players who enrolled early or signed letters-of-intent on Wednesday at Michigan.
