Sure, there is always recruiting going on, but no games, just summer workouts, and typically not a lot of news. Well, Michigan proved that theory wrong all summer long by being the center of a lot of breaking news. Finally, news broke that Warde Manuel would be leaving Michigan at the end of the calendar year. Michigan-Notre Dame was a big rivalry usually played early in the season, but the two teams haven't met since 2019. If Manuel could renew the rivalry sooner than 2033, which is still seven years away, he just might earn back a little bit of favor in the Michigan sports community.
