2019 - Wing - Jalen Wilson (De-Commit)

This is also true. But playing that scenario out in a timeline …
…hypothetically if Michigan makes a HC hire by the end of the month (a fast tracked process), the new HC takes about a week to set a staff. Early June those guys are looking for jobs — how long before they find a PowerConference opening? It would probably take another PowerConference HC to fire one of his Assistants to open a slot. So, what early July is likely the quickest one finds another position. Summer term at UM starts July 3…most FR usually start then and half a 1/2 term under their belt before Fall Classes start.

Not saying one of them couldn’t poach Wilson or Bajema, but the timeline is working against them…and that’s assuming they end up at a PowerConference school with a scholarship available for 2019-20.

FWIW he no longer has anything on his Twitter relating to Michigan anymore

Just a kid doing what should be done. Wait and see. Again today he said he is committed and will wait and see the results.

That was yesterday unfortunately. I think a day can really change things this early in the process honestly.

It is not a very good sign. These guy are kids so it could mean something or nothing. Let’s be realistic though, there could be a good chance we lose him.

He still follows a bunch of current Michigan players, coaches and team accounts (and only follows 66 accounts total). If he was doing some pre-meditated clean-up as a confirmation that he was leaving, I’d suspect unfollows are a bigger sign.

I designate you buckets12 to watch and provide us with reports on his Twitter.

Someone watch his Instagram.

I have a bunch of candles lit and rosaries going for Franz.

We all have to do our part.

The kid confirmed today he will wait and so will Cole. Damn, let the process go through the paces. Nothing is imminent.

Goodbye Jalen. Bummer

well that sucks

not a good sign for anything. He must have not liked the list of potential coaches for Michigan this all leads me to believe Yak is going to Cleveland with JB. Frustrating time to be a Michigan fan.

Ugh. That’s going to hurt. It’s possible we could have only 9 scholarship players on the roster next season and 6 or 7 2020 scholarships to fill. That’s where a great recruiter could be helpful.

Well the new guy will have his own team fast. The fan base is gonna check out fast if winning doesn’t happen quick too.

And we still have to worry about whether Bajema will stick around

Gonna need a big time recruiter at this point.

This hire needs to happen by the beginning of next week. If you disagree you are okay with the programs going to the dumps real quick.

I wouldn’t blame any current guys if they transfer. But I would love them more if they stay. It would be awesome if Iggy bombs out at the combine and comes back, but why would anything good happen

I’m gonna start mentally preparing myself for the inevitable Zavier Simpson and 4 guys from the YMCA lineup all next season
