The submarine. It’s become a staple term of the Harbaugh head coaching era at Michigan as the program is kept under wraps during fall camp. This tactic is good for the team as they can focus on the game more and media less but hated by media members and a large portion of fans looking for coverage. Well, luckily for everyone, this isn’t 1955 and the odds of keep all information from coming up for air is slim to none.
To help keep you as updated as possible, here’s a quick recap through tweets of the first week of the 2016 fall camp for Michigan:
Gary is scary

More Freshmen love
Freshmen showing up during team drills. Gary with a sack, then Eddie McDoom with a TD grab – really turned on the jets

Ben Bredeson has had a good day – has held his own against some talented guys.

BTN Camp Tour #Wolverines Some impressive freshman include Kemp, Gary, Bush D, Evans, Bredeson etc.
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 16, 2016
Big Mike Onwenu is playing both ways, and Chris Evans might be “best freshman” per Harbaugh.
— Chris Balas (@Balas_Wolverine) August 15, 2016
Harbaugh says Michael Onwenu Fr from Cass Tech: “One of my favorites.”

More than just hype?
Michigan has made a ton of progress physically. They are right there. Good looking team.

BTN Cp Tour #Wolverines I wasn’t expecting 2 say this but they have enough talent 2 win all games.I thought they were over rated they’re not

Harbaugh on Fr OL Ben Bredeson: “He started at guard. Now he’s at tackle.”
— Karsch and Anderson (@DougAndGator971) August 15, 2016
Quarterback Battle
QB battle clearly tight at Michigan – splitting reps. Speight has had a nice day – just threw a pretty TD pass to Darboh
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 15, 2016
John O’Korn, Shane Morris and Wilton Speight all are taking reps with the first team for @UMichFootball. pic.twitter.com/szbZgIBqNU
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 15, 2016
Harbaugh says Speight having “outstanding” camp. O’Korn very good. Praised Morris for a good camp
— angelique (@chengelis) August 15, 2016
Harbaugh on QB’s: “QB’s are ahead of last year 8-9 days in. They’re playing well. Better than most camps.”
— Karsch and Anderson (@DougAndGator971) August 15, 2016
Back from Injury
This was a huge loss last year – Bryan Mone now healthy – will be a major factor in DL pic.twitter.com/Ft6HkG0PRf
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 15, 2016
Having Bryan Mone and Ryan Glasgow healthy will make @UMichFootball difficult to run on. pic.twitter.com/MUYAQLuRx7
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 15, 2016
A lot to like about Michigan WR crew – among the best in the conference pic.twitter.com/5JLrB89kqc
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 15, 2016
The battle for the No. 3 WR spot for @UMichFootball is interesting. Drake Harris? Curtis Perry? Maurice Ways also is interesting.
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 15, 2016
Suspensions
Harbaugh says two players are suspended, but wouldn’t say who.
— Matt Pargoff (@MaizeBlueNews) August 15, 2016
Harbaugh says 2 of the 3 freshmen who missed the team photo are suspended. Won’t say which 2. Then leaves the interview.
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) August 15, 2016
Michigan spokesman says Shelton Johnson and Ahmir Mitchell are the suspended players Harbaugh referenced.
— Adam Schnepp (@aeschnepp) August 15, 2016
From Michigan: Kareem Walker is not suspended. So, basically, it’s Shelton Johnson and Ahmir Mitchell.
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) August 15, 2016
