Michigan Wolverines Thursday: All Fresh

• Michigan had a number of players on the Big Ten - Sporting News All Freshman Team as you might expect. The current members are: Tate Forcier, Roy Roundtree, Jordan Kovacs, and Craig Roh.

• Coach Rod was at a banquet and on the radio this morning and addressed a few issues: Brandon Smith missed the last team meeting and he expects him to transfer. On a side note Brandon's mom would prefer if he stayed at U of M. Boubacar is interested in getting back on the team, but still has a number of academic goals he needs to reach. Warren continues to look into the NFL but has not made a final decision and continues to communicate with the Michigan coaches.
