Contender Michigan mired in tumultuous offseason
SI.com - 19 hours ago
With fourth-year starting quarterback Chad Henne, 1,500-yard rusher Mike Hart, elite receiver Mario Manningham and All-America tackle Jake Long all back, it's easy to see why Michigan has appeared as high as No. 2 in the country in various preseason prognostications.

Except that most of those polls were compiled before two potential starters got kicked off the team prior to spring practice.

And before Manningham's playmaking counterpart, Adrian Arrington, got suspended indefinitely.

And before No. 2 tailback Kevin Grady was lost for the season with a torn ACL.

While there's no such thing as a bad spring, at least in the minds of coaches, some of the headlines coming out of Ann Arbor lately have been less than ideal.

National observers have been drooling over the potential of this year's Michigan team since back before last year's Rose Bowl, but some seem to be taking a more cautious approach.

"With the guys we lost, we should probably be more in the 5 to 12 range [in the rankings]," said a person close to the program.

Re: 2007 Michigan Football Preview

I dont care about the preseason ranking. When they won the National Title in 97 they were ranked #18 in the preseason polls. I'm not too worried. And Grady wasn't their #2 back last year. Brandon Minor played more than Grady last year and did just as good of job, maybe even better because he didn't fumble as much.
