Our annual summer bus tour came to a close Thursday, but not before we took in Michigan practice. @BTNTomDienhart and @BTNDaveRevsine live tweeted from the practice, and @GerryDiNardo provide his post-practice tweets - a feature he provided after every stop. See all the tweets in this post. And don?t forget to catch the debut of the Michigan Preview Show at 10 p.m. ET Friday.
[BTN.com: Tom Dienhart's thoughts from Michigan practice]
BTN Bus Tour #Wolverines Two biggest concerns: 1. Keeping DR heathy
2. Devlopment of D Line – Good team but don't think they are top 10 now— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 24, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Wolverins -D Line has good young depth but will miss Martin on the first group.Campbell looks the best he's looked physically

BTN Bus Tour #Wolverines My guess is Fitz won't play in opener – just a guess - no inside info – Rawls looked good
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 24, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Wolverins Kyle Kalis as expected looked good, Russell Bellomy looked good & will have to be ready-In this Off you need 3 ready

BTN Bus Tour #Wolverines 16 freshman are competing for 2 deep, travel squad or being part of game plan preparation

M. Schofield, R. Barnum, make it 4 Omameh— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 24, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Wolverines – Lack of explosives on the flank makes it even more difficult to manage DR number of carries

Talked to OC Al Borges. Says #Wolverines won't work too long today. A big scrimmage looms tomorrow. #B1G

Big Taylor Lewan is the quintessential #Wolverines OT. Tall, angular, strong, good. #B1G pic.twitter.com/Dw7nx8SG

Talking to #Wolverines RB coach Fred Jackson, he likes his depth. Mentiomed two true frosh he likes: Dennis Norfleet, Drake Johmson. #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 23, 2012
TE coach Dan Ferrigno has work to do. Brandon Moore is unproven 5th-year senior. True frosh A.J. Williams and Devin Funchess will play.

Devin Gardner is a specimen. Working out with WRs. Looks good. #Wolverines #B1G pic.twitter.com/afFpajOY

Big Will Campbell is looking good. True frosh DT Ondre Pipkins also shows nice strength in double-team drill. #Wolverines #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 23, 2012
True frosh WRs Amara Darboh and Jehu Chesson are big targets. OC Al Borges told me they will play. #Wolverines #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 23, 2012
Brady Hoke is cranking up the AC/DC "Hells Bells." This is football music! #B1G #Wolverines
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 23, 2012
Elliott Mealer running with first team at LG. #Wolverines #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 23, 2012
Jeremy Jackson, Drew Dileo and Jeremy Gallon running at first team WR. Devin Gardner also with ones at times. #Wolverines #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 23, 2012
Al Borges told me Jeremy Gallon has had best camp of WRs. #Wolverines #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 23, 2012
True frosh DBs Terry Richardson and Jarrod Wilson getting lots of work. #Wolverines #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 23, 2012
#Wolverines WR Roy Roundtree told me after practice he expects to be ready for Alabama. He ran well in drills. #B1G

Roy Roundtree in shoulder pads and running routes for the #Wolverines – doesn't even have a brace on the knee
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 23, 2012
Devin Gardner moving around. Took snaps w QB's in one drill for the #Wolverines, then next drill working w WR's
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 23, 2012
Lot of freshmen OL out here who don't look like freshmen – Kalis, Braden, Magnuson – all impressive for #Wolverines
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 23, 2012

Gardner 2nd QB to take snaps for #Wolverines in drill I'm watching. Hard to know at WR beyond obvious guys – Darboh in mix
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 23, 2012
Mario Ojemudia getting a ton of reps at DE for the #Wolverines – pretty clear he will have a great chance to play
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 23, 2012
#Wolverines Will count on some freshmen for DL depth – hard not to like looks of Pipkins & Henry.
