BHB's Friday: Five and Out

How about them Wolverines

The Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team put up 16 points in the first half and went 0-14 in three-pointers before storming back in the second half to beat Penn State. A win is a win.

Package Deal

Rich Rodriguez likes to recruit high school teammates. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. A current package from Florida lost one of it's members yesterday as DE Clarence Murphy decided to commit to Maryland. That leaves CB Tony Grimes potential commitment to Michigan up in the air. Both were going to decide on signing day but it seems Clarence jumped the gun for some reason.

What to Watch

Unless there is a surprise, Michigan isn't supposed to get any announcements at this weekend's Army All American Game. Still, Michigan fans will want to tune it to check out highly rated CB Cullen Christian, punter Will Hagerup, and potential recruit, safety Sean Parker.

Mallett's Decision

Ryan Mallett has decided to stay in school and not go to the NFL. Ryan deciding to stay somewhere is always big news.

Jim Leavitt's Exit

South Florida's Leavitt, was shown the door this morning. I'm sure there won't be any tears shed at Schembechler Hall since Jim and Rich never seemed to get along.

Rich took a number of assistants from South Florida (Rod Smith, Calvin Magee, and Greg Frey) over his tenure. One of those guys may be a candidate for the head coaching job at USF. That guy would be, Michigan's OC Calvin Magee.

That would be a big loss for Michigan but a great opportunity for Calvin.
