Michigan basketball wrapped up summer workouts by getting to work at Michigan Stadium, and just outside of it. The Wolverines pushed trucks in what they call ‘The Strongman.’

Michigan defensive line coach Lou Esposito describes why the program is special and can recruit itself, especially at his position. He mentioned the blend of academics and athletics, plus “the people.”

“It doesn’t compare to anywhere else,” Esposito said.

Michigan running back Jordan Marshall made some bold statements about the offense under new coordinator Chip Lindsey.

“The energy and the spot that Chip and [Michigan head] Coach [Sherrone] Moore have this offense in is scary — and it’s scary right now. It’s not scary in a few weeks. It wasn’t scary two weeks ago. It’s scary right now.

“The biggest thing with our offense that we’re trying to capture is keeping that long term, keeping this upward slope, never having a bad day, making sure that no matter if you’re getting the ball, if you’re not getting the ball, playing without the ball …

“I said it the other day to [running backs] Coach [Tony] Alford that we have so many guys that can make plays — not just the first-string guys that go out there,” Marshall continued. “Young guys have the ability to make plays, and they’re all detailed about what they’re doing. They’re all locked in, in meetings.”

Quote Of The Day

No matter what’s going on, when we score, everybody is off the sideline running to celebrate. Coach Moore gets made because we’re all on the field and we’re running down there, like we just scored our first touchdown. But that energy is gonna really show when we go out to game one and we see somebody else score and everybody is down there. It’s just exciting.”
