Former Michigan basketball coach John Beilein and forward Chris Webber, and Jennie Ritter are among the 10-person Michigan Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2022, slated for induction on Saturday, Sept. 10 at the Motor City Casino’s Sound Board.
Joining Beilein, Webber and Ritter, the Class of 2022 includes former Detroit Piston great Chauncey Billups, former San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates, Duke and NBA star Shane Battier, Olympic gold medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White (ice skating), former Detroit Red Wing and TV analyst Mickey Redmond and former Western Michigan athletic director Kathy Beauregard.
With 53 Wolverines already inducted into the MSHOF, Beilein and Webber become the seventh and eighth program enshrinees. They join Bennie Oosterbaan (1958), Pete Elliott (1983), Cazzie Russell (1991), Rudy Tomjanovich (1995), Glen Rice (2007) and Jalen Rose (2017).
Grace Harbaugh, U-M water polo junior and daughter of Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh, posted a TikTok that made the rounds on social media Tuesday.
Here’s more from the Harbaugh family trip, which appears to be out of the country given the passports.
Quote Of The Day
“I know he’s a great coach. He’s one of the only coaches that coached and played collegiately and in the pros. We talked about education and his kids. We talked about how the Block M is known around the world. Jalen’s mom was there, too, and he told us he wants to treat Jalen like he treats his kids at home. He’s a good guy. I can’t say enough about Harbaugh. People say he’s leaving, but in my heart and in my mind, I know he’s going to be there. I know he loves Michigan. I know the staff loves him. He’s one of those guys like (Nick) Saban that you have to admire as a coach.”
— James Brown, father of five-star Miami (Fla.) Gulliver Prep wide receiver Jalen Brown, on Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh
