The Michigan Insider

The podcast begins with a discussion surrounding the No. 18 Michigan basketball team’s 73-46 road romp over No. 8 Villanova. We break down how impressive the win was given history and context, what elements went into the blowout victory, what it means and what concerns still exist for the Wolverines moving forward. Then, the discussion shifts toward the No. 4 Michigan football team, and its likely home win over Indiana. We discuss what things beyond a win could be considered successes for the Wolverines, a little bit of why Michigan could have the upper hand over Ohio State and an outlook at what the Hoosiers bring to the table. We then close with our weekly over-under game and some other thoughts on the game.

The show begins with a lengthy discussion of how the current Michigan football team — ranked fourth nationally — compares to the Wolverines’ 2016 team, as well as how Michigan’s current defense ranks among the best in school history.

Then, the duo switch gears to discuss recruiting, as Lorenz offers some clarification into what it means for a 247Sports Crystal Ball to be submitted, what’s working in Michigan’s favor with five-star defensive end Zach Harrison, how five-star athlete Quavaris Crouch’s latest visit to Ann Arbor went and more.

Since they put off recruiting last week, this week’s show opens with Lorenz and Shaw discussing a big recruiting visit weekend.

They also discuss others who visited this weekend, what Drew Singleton’s transfer means for recruiting and other miscellaneous notes. Then the duo go back and forth on how significant Michigan’s blowout win over Wisconsin was.

Then, we dissect the situation and likely impact of several of Michigan and Wisconsin’s injured players, then pivot to preview what the Badgers bring to the table both with a talented, experienced offense and a defense that appears susceptible to Michigan’s offense.

The discussion also turns into talk about what Patterson does well already, and what his next steps could look like.

Also on the list were Michigan’s issues converting on offense and a lack of an identity, what panic level Wolverine fans should hold and other things that went wrong on Saturday. The conversation then shifts to where and how Michigan can improve in a favorable next few weeks of the schedule, how the season outlook compares this week to before the season began and some discussion over how warranted and reactionary Michigan fans are compared to other schools.

After that, the discussion turns to recruiting, as they break down the slew of Michigan targets that the Fighting Irish are also recruiting who will be on hand in South Bend this weekend. They also opine on whether or not that increases the importance of winning the game to impress recruits.
