Casual Friday: Michigan Fan Day, Devin Gardner and QB Talk
- Michigan football is going to host Fan Day on August 23rd. Sounds like a fun day and a good excuse to head over to the Big House if you’ve got the time.
- More good news on Devin Gardner from the Elite 11 quarterback camp. This guy just continues to impress people and is being compared to some players that have very promising collegiate careers. Hoping this keeps up until next spring when Devin arrives in Ann Arbor. Scout.com’s Scott Kennedy says this about Gardner:
“Gardner is a superior athlete who is handcuffed a bit by a passing camp that doesn’t showcase his playmaking ability with his legs. However, as one might expect, Gardner was solid in the bootleg drills, and while struggling hitting the deep-out to live receivers, Gardner picked up his game in the target practice segment, showing off better accuracy than many of his Elite 11 teammates.”
Devin Gardner -
Good to see that his accuracy is getting better and he is being pegged as such a hard worker.
- The Wolverines game at Illinios is going to be televised on ABC at 3:30 p.m. Love those late time slots – moreso when Michigan is playing at home.
- In a Mark Snyder Detroit Free Press column Michigan quarterback coach Rod Smith says this about Tate Forcier:
“I was pleased with his progress, (but) he’s got a lot more to go,” Smith said. “He puts in the extra time. I see him as much as anybody around doing extra, because he needs to.”
- There has been quite a bit of conversation and speculation in regards to who Michigan is going to add to their non-conference schedule in 2010. Boise State has been amongst the teams heavily discussed. It appears that this is no longer a possibility as Boise State has rounded out their non-conference schedule with a bout against Virginia Tech.
