Lloyd Carr had his pre-spring press conference, at which he shed a little bit more light on the Antonio Bass situation.
The knee was actually injured during a conditioning drill. Bass is probably not going to practice in the spring.
Interestingly, Lloyd also said that Bass was going to play both WR and QB in the spring practices. It was unclear whether the QB was scout team (i.e. practicing for Ohio State et al), or if he was actually going to see significant time at the position this year (other than the occasional gadget play).
Maybe, based on the lack of QB depth that we will have this year, it was actually going to be a position he would think about playing. I think that would also represent a big step forward in UM’s coaching staff getting with the times of the current football climate in the NCAA as well. This is all speculation at this point, however, so I guess we’ll never know.
Other pertinent information from the press conference will be divulged when I have the time to review the tape (have to get ready for the NIT, of course).
