Michigan Monday: Spring Injuries and More

Rich Rodriguez and other Big Ten coaches will be in Chicago on Monday for the Big Ten's spring meeting.

He is interested is learning what the Big Ten is thinking regarding expansion:

“That would probably be the hottest topic for us coaches,” Rodriguez said Sunday at the Champions for Children’s Hearts golf outing. “I don’t think we’re going to have a lot of say in that. I think it’s probably just going to get us informed, see where we’re at.

“I think it’s interesting,” Rodriguez said. “I think it’s all pretty exciting because from a league standpoint we’re dealing from a position of strength. We’re in a great situation right now, and it looks like it’ll be even better.”

RR also gave us a couple updates on injuries:

Will Heininger had surgery at the end of spring practice and is ahead of his rehab, Rodriguez said. “We’re hoping to have him back by midseason,” Rodriguez said.

Regarding David Molk: “I don’t know where he’s at running wise or anything like that, but I saw him the other day, he walked by the office, and he looks great,” Rodriguez said. “I think he was anxious to do more in the spring but obviously for precautionary reasons we held him out, but I think he’ll be 100 percent certainly for August stuff.”
