Nate Johnson was a true sophomore and came to Ann Arbor from Thompson Station, TN. His recruitment came down to ND and Michigan. He was recruited as a slot WR but turned to CB in fall camp. Insiders were saying he was back as a WR prior to the Purdue game. Nate will finish his career with 1 catch for 4 yards from last season.
This loss really doesn't hurt the Wolverines depth at either CB or WR. The coaches clearly didn't know what to do Nate and he was not a regular contributor. Removing Nate from the team is the correct decision after his arrest.
It would be nice if the Wolverines could get through a bye week without an incident. Last year, slot WR Grant Perry got in trouble in East Lansing.
- Kyle Kalis has been signed to the active roster of the Indianapolis Colts from the Redskins practice squad.
My list of things that I hope the Wolverines improved on during Improvement Week:
- The offensive line. This might be one of the most disappointing units all year. We were expecting a big jump in consistency but have seen missed assignments and just getting beat up front. I know the defenses are stacking the box, but this group needs to be better and not getting beat when the D-line stunts. I don't believe we have seen the Greg Fry impact that we were expecting.
- John O'Korn comfort as a starter. He has been getting 1st team reps for two weeks now. Let's hope he is comfortable under center UTL in the Big House.
- Crawford and Bunting - Keoka Crawford has been playing a lot but hasn't really been producing like we thought. Ian Bunting I thought would be a candidate for the best TE in the country. He has let to catch a ball and might be in the dog house.
- DB's - It seems they have been playing well, but still young and lack experience.
- Punting - I don't like bringing up punting this week, but Michigan needs to average 40 yards per punt. Let's hope this is fixed with Robbins.
