MAY 2017 THE WOLVERINE 11 INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS "What? With so many losses from leaders? Yep, Jim Har- baugh can coach them up that well, and the youth on this team could be better than those leaving. The big issue will be that the Wolverines are probably a year away at some positions, but keep an eye out on this team, especially on defense." — Rivals.com's Mike Farrell on adding Michigan to his list of next year's national title contenders (Rivals.com) "I'm not sure there's a better tandem, anchor-tackle, in the country." — Michigan defensive coordinator Don Brown talk- ing about the pairing of defensive end Rashan Gary and tackle Maurice Hurst (TheWolverine.com) "Canham says, 'You're 44, you don't want to be coaching when you're 55.' I guess I didn't listen. But nevertheless, I feel like it's the right time, although my wife is not sure yet. When I left the house this morning, she said, 'Are you sure you're doing the right thing?'" — Michigan hockey coach Red Berenson on his decision to retire and advice former AD Don Canham gave him when he was younger (The Detroit News) "The first time we met, he shook my hand, and then we went straight to the board. He said, 'OK, what are you going to do against this look and this look?' We just jumped right into football. And his big thing is, we'll get to know each other as time goes on." — Redshirt junior quarterback Wilton Speight on meeting new Michigan passing game coordinator Pep Hamilton (ESPN.com) THEY SAID IT ESPN's Chad Ford on the draft prospects of Michigan forward Moritz Wagner "He had an up-and-down sophomore year, but he ticks a lot of boxes for NBA scouts. He's a fluid athlete who can re- ally shoot the ball. He also has playmak- ing abilities and shows toughness in the paint. Plus, he's still only 19 years old. He'll likely go somewhere between Nos. 18-25 if he stays in the draft." PHOTO BY PER KJELDSEN Init. Date 1 2017 © 2017 Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company.
