• Jim Harbaugh dishes on several ’23 signees— ‘It’s a great recruiting class’
J.J. McCarthy has been the man at quarterback since week two, and he’s led the Wolverines to an undefeated season and a big win at Ohio State. The sophomore said the journey — first to beat out Cade McNamara, and then to get here, going through a shoulder injury and everything else — has been well worth it.
“Yeah, the journey has definitely been a roller coaster. Just going back to my injury in the offseason and then obviously the competition with Cade … Cade is a great quarterback,” he said. “A lot of it at the beginning of the year and fall camp was just focused on trying to beat him out.
“Then once I did, it was like, okay, now we have games to win. It was just that constant … a bunch of obstacles that just made me improve in every way I possibly can.”

Michigan basketball needs a big stretch
Michigan lost to North Carolina, 80-76, playing well in stretches but unable to get over the hump. Head coach Juwan Howard and his team have a couple huge, Big Ten games coming up against Maryland and Penn State over the holiday. Can the Wolverines turn it around?
We talk about that and more in today’s chat.
