What has pretty much been known for the past few weeks was made official yesterday. Michigan WR Mario Manningham will skip his senior season and enter the NFL Draft:

"It was a hard decision, but after discussing it with my family it was the right one for me to make right now," Manningham said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press while driving home to Ohio. "I've heard I will be drafted in the first round because of the lack of depth at wide receiver."

Reports also had Freshman QB Ryan Mallett transferring to Arkansas. Mallett will certainly not be playing football in Ann Arbor next season, but according to his father a final decision has not yet been made:

"We haven't made a decision yet, but everybody and their dog is saying my son has done this or that," Jim Mallett said Monday in an interview with the Associated Press. "I can tell you, we visited Arkansas and we've talked to Texas A&M and Tennessee. But we're not sure what is going on at Tennessee because they hired an offensive coordinator that has run the spread."
