Michigan Friday: Good News on Grant

Grant Newsome spoke to the Detroit News yesterday at Mott Children's Hospital and it says he feels like he could play right now and has been doing winter conditioning with the team.  Chase, Grant, and Don Brown were at Mott to deliver the check for the funds that were raised prior to the bowl game.  

“It’s up to the doctors at this point,” Newsome said. “I feel confident that I could play right now and I could contribute to this team, but ultimately, it’s up to the doctors. Obviously, they’re going to make the decision that’s in my best interests and I’m going to respect that because obviously certain things are bigger than football.

“I feel like I’m in a good place in my recovery, and we’ll see what they say, if it’s clearance now or it’s clearance we want you to wait a little bit or if it’s we want you to retire. It’s really up to them, but I have the utmost faith in them and their decision.”

If Grant can comeback and play, that would be great news for the offensive line and a great motivator for that unit.

• The next candidate rumored to have been interviewed for the 10th coaching position is former Michigan assistant and LSU OC Cam Cameron.  I like this hire much better then the Shark Lover.  Cam was also the OC for the Baltimore Ravens.

• Jimmy on new Utah DB grad transfer Casey Hughes on whether he will play safety or corner:  “Another thing to be determined," Harbaugh said. "He has the ability to be a corner. Also has the ability – by what compiles our best secondary – to be a nickel or safety. He's got the ability to play all three of those, and we'll determine that when he gets here. Coverage ability plus tackling ability. He's made quite a few tackles and he's a strong tackler.”
