UofM target getting Richard Hamilton comparisons to his game.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/basketball/mens/news/story?id=6424214

Javonte Hawkins (Flint, Mich./Powers Catholic)
2012, SG, 6-5, 200 pounds | Team: Michigan Mustangs
College: Undecided
Hawkins is a true shooting guard who is long and very athletic. He sprints the floor, where he is a threat to knock down NBA-range jumpers without hesitation. He also has the first step to get to the rim and finish in traffic or draw the foul. Hawkins will not hesitate to post a smaller defender and simply elevate over him. He competes and has a great motor as well. Hawkins has the length and athletic ability to defend both wing positions. He reminds us of Richard Hamilton and has West Virginia, Michigan, USC, DePaul and Arizona State on his list, among others.

Every UofM fans favorite reporter, Rosenberg, on the OSU/Tressell issue.

Rosenberg isn't in on top of his game.

I mean, hell... he didn't exaggerate one charge in that article. He's slippin'.

[WingsFan]

Spare me the holier than thou Rosenturd, he should have said they need the death penalty.

[nhwbrooklyn]

Imagine if Pryor had choosen UofM instead... the story lines for both schools would be potentially so different.

[chemiclord]

You mean... like the U-M being under investigation by the NCAA, and the Buckeyes under investigation by the NCAA?

[WingsFan]

Jim Tressel investigation should have Sweater Vest Nation sweating

Then DickRod wouldve still been here.. I'm glad we didnt get that tool

This would have qualified for the death penalty if the players had been raking off thousands of dollars, not a hundred bucks for a trophy. From what I've read, the program will be dealt with severely but Tressel is not likely to receive any additional punishment personally. I would think this will affect his ability to recruit, not just because they'll take away scholarships and victories and maybe prohibit them from a bowl, but because these punks he's been bringing in will know they'll be watched extry-carefully, and they'll go party in the SEC instead.

Ex-Dolphins player Mandich dead at 62

The Associated Press

MIAMI -- Jim Mandich, who won two Super Bowl rings with the Miami Dolphins and later became a popular radio announcer for the team, died Tuesday at age 62.
The Dolphins confirmed the death of Mandich, who was also a star at Michigan. He was diagnosed with bile-duct cancer in early 2010, but continued to work on game broadcasts last season.
Mandich was a tight end for the Dolphins when they achieved the NFL's only perfect season in 1972, and he helped them repeat as Super Bowl champions the following year.
Besides working as a color commentator for most of the past 20 seasons, Mandich hosted a radio call-in show and luncheons for the Dolphins Touchdown Club.
"I was sad to hear about Jim's passing," said Hall of Fame head coach Don Shula, who coached Mandich in 1970-1977. "I always looked at him as a guy who was bright, well prepared and competitive. He was someone who I could count on as a player and was instrumental in the success we had during his time with the Dolphins."
Mandich won a wide following for his unabashed support for the home team and his signature call "All right, Miami!" But he was also candid in his criticism, such as when Bill Parcells gave up control of football operations before last season.
"He was a hired gun. He was a personality," Mandich said. "He came in; he leaves two years later. I feel like taking Listerine and washing my mouth out, because it doesn't feel good to me."
Before being drafted in Shula's first year with the Dolphins in 1970, Mandich was a Michigan captain in 1969, leading the Wolverines to a Big Ten co-championship and an appearance in the Rose Bowl. He was a first-team All-American and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2004.
"I've played in a perfect season and in Super Bowls," Mandich said in 2008. "But I'm proudest of playing for the maize and blue."
Mandich played for the Dolphins until 1977, then spent one season with Pittsburgh before retiring. He had 121 career receptions, including 23 for touchdowns.
Funeral arrangements had not been announced.
