Michigan Wolverines Key Player has Sustained a brutal neck injury with legs broken
The Real Recognize Real Report welcomes you. Although it’s not intended to be grammatically right, that title isn’t. It’s a widespread colloquialism in my family and friend group that emphasizes how someone who possesses a certain trait may easily recognize others who also share that trait. Genuine and authentic people are able to recognize other genuine and authentic people. That theme will be continued in the “3R Report,” which will only ever contain information from reliable, authentic sources whose veracity has been established. Regular installment drops will occur. They won’t always be lengthy or contain breaking news, but they will always be authentic.
The topic of today’s post is how Sherrone Moore’s efforts to appoint personnel are still being impacted by the NFL coaching carousel. Moore’s choice as tight end coach was influenced by Kevin Koger’s decision to stay in the NFL, as I’ve already mentioned. He is up against defensive coordinator target Joe Cullen of the Seattle Seahawks, who is also on Mike Macdonald’s roster. And now one of Michigan’s current assistants might have been impacted by the way the pieces fell into place.
Michigan hockey takes on Michigan State in a crucial series to start the last month of the regular season. The Wolverines play their in-state opponent at Yost Ice Arena on Friday night, followed by Little Caesars Arena’s “Duel in the D” on Saturday night.
We’ll take advantage of the fact that the Wolverines are in the NCAA Tournament qualifying round to reflect on the season thus far and the remaining games.
With two more games remaining for third-place Minnesota and fourth-place Notre Dame, that puts them in fifth place out of the seven teams in the Big Ten. Though it seems unlikely, U-M is currently in a three-way tie for 11th place in the PairWise rankings, which are essentially the same as the NCAA Tournament seedings. A Big Ten regular-season title is also certain. To put it another way, Michigan is very slightly on the right side of the 16-team competitive bubble.
To get here, Michigan has adhered to a well-worn narrative: Due to injury, they have lost some games that they should have won and dropped out of the conference race, but they have improved in the second half and should be a formidable team in the tournament. U-M has demonstrated over the past three weeks that it can skate with anyone: Before sweeping Ohio State in Columbus, the Wolverines split series with top-10 opponents Michigan State and Wisconsin.
