“Insiders” am I right?
January 8th, 2020 at 11:13 AM ^
Or maybe he changed his mind. Not that young people ever do that.
January 8th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
Except it doesn't make any sense why he would need to have his mind changed. He is right in line to start next year.
January 9th, 2020 at 3:29 AM ^
Could have said that about Solomon and probably Hudson.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:40 AM ^
Time to step up and shine Chuck, wonder if he can play Center? Would love to have a mountain in the middle.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:43 AM ^
Do you want a guy who’s never played center over guys who have played and practiced there?
January 8th, 2020 at 8:47 AM ^
You don’t want someone tall at center, a center needs to be quick and get good leverage fast. Michigan’s A GAp would get exposed badly.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:00 AM ^
He may have this OP confused with the basketball post.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:02 AM ^
I know it's a bit of an outlier, but Glasgow was a terrific center at 6'6. Even Cole and Ruiz are listed at 6'4; although I wouldn't be surprised if Ruiz is bit shorter than that.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:29 AM ^
Glasgow was serviceable, but that wasn’t a very good Michigan line either. Pass pro was trash, he was decent at center for the lions too but they knew he couldn’t stay there.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:48 AM ^
Alabama and OSU have centers that aren't short.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:06 AM ^
Alabama's center in 6-6. He moved pretty well.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:20 AM ^
His "cost of attendance" likely included a crimson Escalade with plenty of legroom.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:22 AM ^
Surprised no one has him playing DT (yet).
January 8th, 2020 at 8:47 AM ^
He has a great shot at winning a starting job at a guard spot
January 8th, 2020 at 10:55 AM ^
Leader in the clubhouse to replace Bredeson at LG. Appreciate some positive news.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:50 AM ^
I think this is the first time that UMbig11 has been wrong on something.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:52 AM ^
Ya, he gets a little crabby at times, but UMBIG11 has posted valuable and true information on this site numerous times!
January 8th, 2020 at 9:24 AM ^
So he’s not married?
January 8th, 2020 at 9:42 AM ^
This is a joke, right?
January 8th, 2020 at 9:44 AM ^
You haven’t been paying close attention. He’s often vague, or hedges, enough that he’s not “wrong” but he’s told some whoppers - Rashan shutting it down for the nfl being a prime example.
He clearly has limited access to inside info, but he also shoots from the hip and loves that you guys kiss his ass.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:50 AM ^
HOW DARE YOU QUESTION UMBIG11!
January 8th, 2020 at 11:09 AM ^
That's kind of what I expect from an insider, though.
What I mean by that is the people who have access to the information we want are generally on the coaching staff--and they're not going to be posting that shit on message boards. Even a player (although obviously in better position to hear gossip about other players) may not know that much outside of what's happening in their position group simply because the coaches may not tell them.
So any insider is going to be posting a lot of rumors and hedging what they say because their source may not know the whole story. Sam Webb and Angelique Chengelis probably hear the same things, but often can't repeat them for various reasons (they can't verify the information or don't want to piss off the coaches).
January 8th, 2020 at 1:21 PM ^
that sounds like mr king to me
January 8th, 2020 at 10:07 AM ^
Not really, but I'm not going to complain.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:51 AM ^
You mean next years starting LG isn’t transferring?
January 8th, 2020 at 8:54 AM ^
umbig11 is now on the 247 board exclusively but even people over there are questioning him after that thread on here where he was exposed.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:03 AM ^
I meant no harm! All I did was ask why he didn't think L. Hill would be a top 3 round pick. He responded nicely; just with a different username.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:04 AM ^
Rule #1 of assuming a second identity: don't use a Ukrainian nuclear incident in your handle.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:14 AM ^
I'm not taking your advice on anything Ukraine related. Nothing personal.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:56 AM ^
Oh Crimea river
January 8th, 2020 at 11:04 AM ^
Underrated response
January 8th, 2020 at 2:59 PM ^
Brilliant
January 8th, 2020 at 9:20 AM ^
“Ukrainian” lmao. You are too much, Vlad.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:26 AM ^
You’re blaming the Ukrainians for that mishap and not the system?
January 8th, 2020 at 12:45 PM ^
I've never understood why Russians have such a hard on for Ukraine.
January 8th, 2020 at 1:15 PM ^
Access to the Black Sea. They need a warm water port.
January 8th, 2020 at 3:02 PM ^
Ukraining woman are gorgeous.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:17 AM ^
umbig11 has had much more right than wrong in his posting history and is a valuable member here. Relax.
January 8th, 2020 at 1:05 PM ^
I'm not sure I would agree that he was "exposed" or that he is now on 247 exclusively. It was only a few days ago that the Filiaga post in question was made here.
I do agree that it was a big miss though.
January 8th, 2020 at 1:22 PM ^
WD feeling like its been too long since he "exposed" someone
January 8th, 2020 at 8:55 AM ^
umbig11 has given many, many enjoyable inside scoop tidbits and is a verified (by mgoblog and a few posters here) insider. the fact that he may have been wrong on occasion is inconsequential - he gives what he gets and we are better for having that info.
the fact that he may have pitched a fit about some posters is so trivial relative to the value he brings, and for that matter, if pitching a fit on this blog was any measure of the posters then a whole bunch of posters here would be run off the blog over a cliff.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:14 AM ^
Anyone with half a brain who speaks their mind should pitch a fit about this board every now and again.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:18 AM ^
So I take ONE lousy trip out of the country, leave you guys alone for a few days and you somehow manage to run UMBig11 off the board?
January 8th, 2020 at 10:09 AM ^
Where did you go?
January 8th, 2020 at 10:16 AM ^
Antigua. He has pics to prove it too.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:23 AM ^
Were you able to find a Michigan bar at your exotic and exclusive holiday/work destination?
January 8th, 2020 at 9:28 AM ^
So maybe the kid changed his mind......big deal. I have enjoyed his posts certainly much more than the sky is falling crowd.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:05 AM ^
Good post XM
