Radio recap (4/30): Spring game thoughts, U-M's draft selections, recruiting wins, hoops talk & more
This post is unlocked and available for all readers
Monday’s appearance on The Michigan Insider with Sam Webb and Ira Weintraub over at WTKA The Big 1050 in Ann Arbor was about as jam-packed as an offseason appearance can be. We talked about the NFL Draft, both from a Michigan and an NFL perspective. We discussed Michigan’s spring game, which aired on the BTN over the weekend on Sunday. We touched on a big recruiting weekend for Michigan, including the landing of a high-profile QB recruit in the Wolverines’ next class. And we even managed to discuss some Michigan hoops, too.
I’m posting audio of that appearance below, along with a timestamped look at what was discussed and when during the ~25-minute chat.
