So. Many. New. Faces.
2024 is going to be a different experience for Michigan fans. I can't say it's
going to be bad, or a huge departure from the success of the last 3 seasons,
but it's definitely going to feel...different. While the names on the jersey's
might be different and the coaching staff is basically all new...it's still a
program built around the blueprint crafted by Jim Harbaugh.
From the perspective through my lens on the sideline, I saw a lot of positives out
there. I see a young, hungry team ready to take the reigns and try and
replicate the success of the last few seasons. I see some veterans ready to
become the next leaders of this program. But with any rebuild/reload...there will definitely be some bumps along the way.
It was nice to see so many members of Team 144 back to support this program.
Probably didn't hurt the draft is in town later this week. I think pretty much
every guy who came back to watch this spring game will have their name called
this weekend in downtown Detroit.
Any way you choose to look at it, there was no denying that the vibe around
the program is still that of a national championship team looking to continue
as much success as possible. A lot of new players and an almost completely new
coaching staff will certainly have their hands full with a daunting schedule.
Tempered expectations for sure, but I think this team could be a lot of fun to
watch.
