Newsstand: Michigan students, president Santa Ono battle it out in snowball fight at the Diag
Tweets Of The Day
Ann Arbor, Michigan received close to six inches of snowfall Wednesday, and students (with a special guest) took advantage. A group organized a snowball fight at the Diag, and invited univesity president Santa Ono. Ono, a folk hero at this point, obviously came and enjoyed himself. And predictably, he tweeted about it afterward. Here are some sights and sounds from the snowball fight.
The Michigan football Twitter account got in on the fun, showing off The Big House in the snow.
Michigan on BTN reminded fans about Trey Burke’s legendary game-tying 35-foot three-pointer that forced overtime in a win over Kansas in the 2013 Sweet 16.
Michigan landed a commitment from an Ohio product Wednesday. Here’s more from The Wolverine’s Zach Libby:
Three days after hosting its first of two Junior Day events in the month of January, the Wolverines landed a verbal commitment from 2024 Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier three-star defensive lineman Ted Hammond on Wednesday.
Hammond announced his decision on social media following the weekend visit to Ann Arbor in which he was joined by now future Michigan teammate in On300 interior offensive lineman commit Luke Hamilton, as well as two other Ohio natives in three-star offensive tackle Ben Roebuck and On300 EDGE Brian Robinson.

Defensive line coach Mike Elston and area recruiter Steve Clinkscale would offer Hammond during the January contact period less than two weeks ago, resulting in the rising junior scheduled his return trip back to campus soon after. Hammond made multiple visits to Michigan last year, including for the Nebraska game in mid-November and an offseason tour of the facilities back in March.
The Wolverines beat out other notable schools who delivered scholarships to Hammond such as Oklahoma, Washington, Louisville, Pitt, Vanderbilt, Iowa, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Northwestern, Kansas, Rutgers, Cal, Purdue, and West Virginia.
At 6-foot-5 and 270 pounds, Hammond ranks as the No. 14 overall prospect in the state of Ohio, No. 31 defensive lineman nationally, and No. 365 player in the country, according to the On3 Consensus. Michigan has now landed commitments from Cincinnati athletes in back-to-back cycles following the signings of cornerback Cameron Calhoun and linebacker Breeon Ishmail in 2023.
