WTKA Roundtable 4/23/2026: Listen to Me Now and Believe Me Later

MGoBlog — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 14:12:25 GMT

Things Discussed:

Spring Game standouts: Hiter obviously. Buchanan, Tatum looks like a safety, Patterson, Edokpayi, and Palepale.
Concern about Bryce? Nah, the situation was not conducive to seeing what Bryce can do; if you play Cov2 back all day for real we'll run like 2021 Washington. It was a better situation to show off what Carr can do.
QB run game: rehash last year's issues: tactically it was there; strategically they hadn't run it so they screwed it up).
Hoops transfers: Juke Harris or John Blackwell? For this team: Harris. Needs work on defense but Juke makes his own shots. Craig: how do the pieces fit together? Craig thinks Juke is a three.
Is he coming? Sam was close to a gut feeling, but why have things dragged out? NIL numbers? Tennessee numbers embellished. Is it a bidding war? Don't know.
Sam thinks Liburd is good enough that they don't need all their eggs in that basket.
Thiam? Going against Pitino for him so that's big boy battle.
Rez: Opt-outs might be moving him up the Draft; the Florida guys coming back has bumped him. If he's in the teens he's in the Draft for sure.
Landon DuPont: first-ever status (can play younger) player in CHL, #1 overall potential, Denver/Michigan battle.
Michigan hockey summer: Hage is coming back.

EXCLUSIVITY LOST: Michigan’s Playoff HOPES and Kyle Whittingham’s Controversial Super League Plan

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 20:14:32 GMT

Michigan Wolverines could soon face a seismic shift as whispers of a college football "super league" and expanded playoffs dominate the headlines. Is a 16-team playoff really the answer, or does it strip the sport of its heart-pounding regular season drama? Isaiah Hole challenges Kyle Whittingham’s vision, highlighting the risk of turning college football into a race for participation trophies rather than a test of elite programs.

Debate intensifies over Michigan’s biggest strength and real Achilles heel for the coming season. Does the running game remain the Wolverines’ engine, or are the wide receivers being underestimated? Get the latest on Bryce Underwood’s development, inside analysis of ESPN’s projections, and a critical look at Michigan’s linebacker depth. Will the Wolverines’ evolving offense and new recruits propel them forward, or will overlooked weaknesses derail their ambitions in a changing college football landscape?

Michigan HockeyCast 8.25: Apple, Banana, Caffeine

MGoBlog — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 05:07:25 GMT

1 Hour and 37 Minutes

With David Nasternak and Alex Drain

This Podcast Has a Sponsor: Michigan Law Grad Jonathan Paul is the guy with the C you want skating next to the ref and pleading your case. He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games.

Segment 1
Which NHL match-up are you most excited for? Ottawa vs Carolina is intriguing. Avs vs Kings will probably be non-competitive and un-watchable.

Evaluating the offense:

TJ Hughes - Hobey Baker level season.
Jayden Perron - Dramatically exceeded expectations. Led the team offensively in the post-season.
Nick Moldenhauer - Previously minimal production, huge breakout season.
Michael Hage - High-end playmaker, season cut short due to injury.
Malcolm Spence - Up-and-down freshman season, started hot.
Adam Valentini - Limited in size but played a bigger role as the season progressed.
Cole McKinney - Strong in faceoffs but underwhelming offensive production.
Will Horkoff - Highly productive, highly streaky.
Aidan Park - Depth freshman, lacked consistent impact.
Keenan Draper - Praised for role mastery, leadership, and penalty-kill value.
Josh Earnesty - Depth player who improved on offense and defense.
Kayson Musket - Exceeded expectation in limited minutes.
Teddy Spitznagel - No meaningful playing time before leaving the program.
Segment 2
Evaluating the defense and goalies:

Luca Fantilli - Unexpected breakout senior year. Became a reliable leader.
Tyler Duke - High effort and physical despite his size. Took too many penalties.
Ben Robertson - Dependable, steady presence on the blue line.
Garrett Shifsky - Elevated his game late in the season, gets a special shout out.
Drew Schock - Limited as a freshman, grew throughout the season.
Dakota Raemel - Inconsistent with turnovers.
Asher Barnett - Excellent as a freshman.

Everyone else didn't contribute enough to get a fair grade.

Jack Ivankovic - Delivered high-level all season when not hurt.
Steven Peck - Exceeded expectations as a backup.

HYPE: Michigan Football SPRING GAME Breakdown - Why Jake Butt Likes What He Saw

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 19:17:01 GMT

Michigan Wolverines fans are buzzing as the spring game spotlights a fierce quarterback debate between Bryce Underwood and Tommy Carr. Could Michigan’s backfield be its biggest weapon this season with Savion Hiter and Jordan Marshall leading a physical, explosive run game? Jake Butt joins Isaiah Hole to break down key takeaways, question whether spring performances hint at long-term trends, and analyze why the offensive line’s chemistry can make or break the Wolverines’ attack.

Defensively, Michigan’s retooled front, highlighted by Jonah Lea'ea and Dom Nichols, showed depth and dominance—can the young D-line maintain that edge against elite competition? The conversation covers linebacker uncertainties, the emergence of Kainoa Winston in the secondary, and the impacts of the new coaching staff. With insights on tight end usage, wide receiver youth, and the realities of NIL rumors, this episode uncovers what’s real and what’s just spring smoke for Michigan Football’s 2026 outlook.

PANIC TIME? Bryce Underwood & Michigan Offense a NO SHOW at SPRING Game! TROUBLE for 2026?

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Michigan Wolverines' offense sputters as Bryce Underwood shows little progress in the spring game. With high expectations, Underwood's performance—3-of-9 for 22 yards—raised tough questions about his readiness, while backup Tommy Carr impressed with poise and unexpected speed. Can Michigan rely on Underwood’s arm this season, or is Carr making a case for more playing time?

Craig Shemon spotlights Michigan’s offensive struggles, the emergence of five-star recruit Savion Hiter in the backfield, and highlights from a stout Wolverines defense. The show covers updates on Michigan State’s spring showcase, major recruiting news across the Big Ten, and facility upgrades at Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium. Key topics include Penn State’s recruiting momentum, Ohio State’s standout prospects, and top 10 Big Ten weekend observations as programs gear up for a pivotal 2026 season. Will Michigan find the answers before facing Oklahoma and archrival Ohio State?

1. Spring Game - Offense

Starts at 0:51

Seth has a hypothesis that you can define running backs by the sound you involuntarily make when they carry the ball. You can practice this in the shower. Ohio State had a high scoring spring game, also a lot of rain. Bryce's play was concerning. He didn't look comfortable in the pocket and scrambled a lot. The defense wasn't allowed to do anything fancy or blitzed, they mostly played in a Cover-2. That said, not ever having the starting offensive line together does not help the quarterback. Tommy Carr was able to sit there and do some three step drop stuff, which are throws that Underwood didn't throw. He doesn't have the arm strength but he was making better decisions. Who would you compare him to, Tate Forcier? Dylan McCaffrey? Alex Smith? Did Michigan lose a year of Bryce Underwood's development? Kyle Whittingham has a track record of developing good running quarterbacks, so maybe what we saw in the spring game was not super relevant. Maybe Bryce is like a freshman Cam Newton or redshirt Freshman Vince Young. Even if they don't have a great passing game they can still run a good offense with the running tools they have. Some of the scrambling may have been a result of pass rush and playing against Cover-2. Poor Jordan Marshall getting ruled down after four yards. Savion Hiter is absolutely going to be the real deal. It was an up and down game from the wide receivers but they also didn't get many opportunities. There has never been an elite wide receiver who has worn #3 at Michigan. Browder had a ball bounce off his face mask but then got a nice catch later. Hogan Hansen has barely been able to play football for the last year and a half. The gang argues over fullback snap counts. Guys getting wrecked against defensive tackles is fine because we want to see progress from the defensive tackles (in the spring game).

2. Spring Game - Defense

Starts at 43:54

It was generally encouraging that the defensive line beat up the offensive line. Sprague lost to Edokpayi a couple times. Cam Brandt beat Frazier at one point. Nate Staehling hasn't been available at all so there's still some hope that he'll be really good when he arrives. All the linebackers are defensive backs right now. Palepale really stood out. Benny Patterson was a defensive end to keep an eye on. What did we see from the linebackers? Uhhhhhh. Taylor Tatum might be a real safety? Corner has four names for three spots which is a good spot to be in. A kicker missed a 29 yard field goal, they should've faked a field goal for the game winning touchdown since they weren't trying to block kicks.

3. Hot Takes and Basketball/Hockey Portal

Starts at 1:06:36

Takes hotter than the Kitchener Rangers GM after the Michigan hockey team stole from them. The portal has been slow enough to include both basketball and hockey. The roof of Yost fell off to conserve the vibes of the roster. Perron remains the only question mark. They're also about to get the top two picks out of the CHL. The roster is pretty much done, they don't even need to go to the portal. This team should be the #1 team in the pre-season poll next year. Michigan men's basketball turns its attention to Cincinnatti center Moustapha Thiam. A 7'2" rim defender who could replace a likely Mara departure. Apparently there is a situation with a handler from Senegal. It's looking more like Mara is gone and Morez is back. Is there a chance Mara returns? Probably not, but he needs to make a decision. Brian doesn't want to throw the whole bag at Juke Harris. Overall it's been quiet and they need to start making some moves.

4. Gimmicky Top Five Moments of Basketball Season

Starts at 1:48:33

Everyone's top five moments of basketball season, plus Seth's 74 honorable mentions. Elliott Cadeau going 2-15 and controlling the Arizona game, undefeated on the road, and Dusty sitting in front of the Michigan State bench. They didn't just boat race those teams in Vegas but they broke the point system. Oscar Goodman thunder dunks. Scooping up confetti is like the fan version of raising a banner. Jeremy Fears kicking a Minnesota guy in the balls signified that it was not just a Michigan thing. Then Izzo fouling Michigan for ten minutes and complaining about Michigan getting more free throws. The Arizona win stamps this season as "one of the best teams of the last 25 years." You can just sit on a couch in a certain way and piss off Michigan State fans now. McKenney's mid-range jumpers in Breslin were the coldest mid-range jumpers ever. What have been your favorite tournament blowouts? Michigan's mascot should be Mitch McGary in an oversized Mitch McGary suit.

TMI Recap: Michigan Spring Game 2026

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 17:15:00 GMT

The first Michigan Spring Game under Kyle Whittingham ended with a 7-6 win for the Maize team over the Blue team. Sam Webb and Josh Newkirk of The Michigan Insider provided a postgame analysis from the Big House. They began by reviewing Bryce Underwood’s performance; the sophomore quarterback completed 3 of 9 passes for 22 yards during the first-quarter thud period. Although his showing was mixed, Coach Whittingham noted it did not reflect Underwood’s progress throughout the spring. The discussion then shifted to freshman quarterback Tommy Carr, who impressed with his decision-making and improvisational skills, leading the team in rushing. Five-star freshman running back Savion Hiter also stood out for his power, footwork, and speed. Jordan Marshall demonstrated strong vision and burst, prompting a discussion of expectations for the 2026 running game. The defensive line performed well, with young players such as Benny Patterson, Lugard Edokpayi, Bobby Kanka, and Deyvid Palepale making notable contributions. While the defense is currently ahead of the offense, Whittingham explained that this is typical when implementing a new offensive system, as he experienced at Utah. The breakdown concluded by emphasizing the Wolverines’ strong buy-in and significant strength gains, which have contributed to the coaching staff’s confidence heading into the fall.

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 21:07:00 GMT

On this week’s edition of The Michigan Recruiting Insider, Sam Webb, Steve Lorenz, and Brice Marich discussed the recent commitment of Salt Lake City (West) dual-threat quarterback Kamden Laopati. Lopati, a former Illinois commit, chose Michigan over Notre Dame and several other programs. The team analyzed his fit within Michigan's offensive strategy and noted the possibility of Michigan taking two quarterbacks in this class, with Las Vegas (Nev.) Arbor View’s Thaddeus Thatcher as a strong candidate. The discussion then shifted to receiver recruiting, highlighting Thatcher's Arbor View teammate, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound pass catcher, who has become a top option following a strong visit. The crew also previewed upcoming visits from several top targets, including Top 247 running back Ty Keys from Poplarville (Miss.), edge prospect Marcus Fakatou from Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon, and cornerback Joshua Dobson from Cornelius (N.C.). Additionally, they provided an in-depth analysis of the visit implications for Buford (Ga.) linebacker Ethan Hauser, who is scheduled to visit Ann Arbor for the second time in two weeks.
