The Wolverine Digest Pod

In this episode Brandon Brown and Chris Breiler discuss Michigan's spring practices so far, which includes a viral clip of freshman quarterback JJ McCarthy, along with what the spring game might look like even though it's not on TV and isn't open to the public or media. Plus, is it fair to talk about Juwan Howard's success alongside Jim Harbaugh's shortcomings? 

While Brandon Brown was on vacation, Chris Breiler held down the fort. Five players were made available to the media to discuss practices as U-M gets closer to wrapping up spring football and some pretty interesting things were said. Michigan also lost a couple more players to the transfer portal as the numbers over the last three years were examined.

Michigan advanced to the Elite Eight after defeating Florida State in the Sweet 16 and will take on UCLA tomorrow night. The Wolverines didn't have their best stuff against the Seminoles but they still dominated the No. 4 team in the region. Chris Breiler and myself talk about that win, the upcoming matchup against the Bruins and Giles Jackson's departure from the football program. We may also launch into a few other things within and around the football team.

Brandon Brown and Chris Breiler talk about the men and women in the Sweet 16, Juwan Howard as an overall dude and some developments on the football field after a Pro Day and an impending NFL Draft.

Juwan Howard and his Wolverines now know that they'll play Texas Southern on Saturday after the Tigers defeated Mt. St. Mary's 60-52 in the First Four play-in game on Thursday night.

The tallest player on the roster for Texas Southern is 6-9, which leads most to believe that Michigan freshman center Hunter Dickinson will have a big game. It also seems like the Wolverines should be able to get what they want on offense from the outside, but without Isaiah Livers, what does that look like? Finally, most believe Michigan will win pretty easily, but how easily?
