Speaking of standards, a few years ago I sat next to a guy during a Michigan/Gophers game. Didn't recognize who he was at first, just noticed he had a lineup sheet and a real eye for the game. After I made a comment about both teams 'daring the other to win' because they were playing so sloppy...
I just enjoy the irony of his user name since I will assume it was chosen as some tribute to the halcyon days of Gopher Hockey where they also failed to get it done all four years he was there, Hobey Baker notwithstanding.
The knee is going to take time to fully recover. If he is in system and heir apparent, he may redshirt to let it fully heal then run it back the following year. Just speculation of course. Everything is upside down in college athletics.
Hype may propel him to starting. Continuing to play/start sporting a sub-60 PFF, suspect. Not when they have options and could care less if he pouts and jumps ship. They are probably banking they can unlock the 2024 version and hoping to avoid the 2025 version. My guess is he will level out...
