Michigan Wolverines news: Jim Harbaugh and J.J. McCarthy talks about the sign theft and two transfer visitsIn our latest roundup of Michigan Wolverines news, Michigan Football is home to a pair of transfers, in addition to Jim Harbaugh and J.J. McCarthy talks about sign stealing.
Unfortunately, some in the media won’t let the widely debunked sign-stealing scandal end. The signals had nothing to do with what the Michigan football team did to Alabama in the Rose Bowl.
It also had nothing to do with wins over ranked teams Ohio State, Penn State and Iowa.
Frankly, it was embarrassing that Jim Harbaugh was asked at a national championship press conference Wednesday if he was concerned about the Michigan Wolverines giving up wins.
It would be beyond ridiculous for the NCAA to go this route, as there is no evidence that a rule was even broken at the time it was written.
Michigan Football would have good reason to take the matter to court, and I think it would in this case.
Harbaugh rightly scoffed at the issue, telling reporters: “I guess you want to live in the world of rumor and speculation.
We don’t have time for that at the moment.J.J. McCarthy also addresses sign stealing and calls out Ohio StateMichigan Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy was also asked about sign stealing and he responded that “80% of college football teams do it.” »
McCarthy also pointed out that Ohio State stole Michigan football signs in 2018 and 2019.
McCarthy stressed that it was legal, but that the Wolverines needed to “level the playing field.
“People tried to frame this comment as if McCarthy was admitting something.
He later clarified that he meant Michigan football needed to take more precautions to protect its signs, since Illinois, Ohio State, Rutgers, Purdue and likely other Big Ten teams were trading them, which certainly seems like scouting to me advanced.
Regardless of what happens in the future with the corrupt NCAA, if Michigan Football wins on Monday night, they will be the undisputed national champions and no amount of yelling from rivals will change that.
The Michigan Wolverines are home to two transfer portal targetsMichigan football is working to add pieces to its 2024 roster and hosted a pair of transfer portal targets for visits on Wednesday.
One of them is former Wake Forest wide receiver Jahmal Banks. Banks is also expected to visit Nebraska, so there is some competition for his commitment. The same goes for former Northwestern cornerback Rod Heard.
According to Allen Trieu of 247 Sports, Heard, a 6-foot-1 cornerback, had a “really good” visit.
Heard comes from Michigan State and seems like a perfect replacement for graduate Mike Sainristil.
Heard has 182 career tackles at Northwestern, along with two interceptions and 10 career pass breakups. Banks is a Wake Forest junior who has had over 600 yards receiving in each of the last two seasons.
Michigan Football has already acquired former Maryland star linebacker Jaishawn Barham through the portal as well as Northwestern’s Josh Priebe, a third-team All-Big Ten guard last season.
