Locked On Wolverines - Daily Podcast On Michigan Wolverines Football & Basketball

Michigan Wolverines’ so-called “lack” of experience is under a microscope as Isaiah Hole debunks CBS Sports’ ranking of Michigan football as 31st for returning starters in 2026, uncovering why this metric overlooks key contributors like Bryce Underwood, Jordan Marshall, and Rod Moore.

Isaiah Hole breaks down the projected starting lineup for both offense and defense, evaluating transfers and injury comebacks, and examines how the elaborate roster changes may shape the team’s Big Ten impact. Plus, with ESPN projecting three Wolverines—Yaxel Lendeborg, Aday Mara, and Morez Johnson Jr.—in the first round of the 2026 NBA Mock Draft, Isaiah Hole evaluates Michigan basketball’s evolving legacy and the program’s prospects if these stars depart early. Are the Wolverines quietly building touching greatness on the gridiron and hardwood?
