The Michigan Insider kicks off a Friday edition with a mix of recruiting updates, team highlights, and sports news across multiple Michigan programs.

A major highlight is the announcement that Michigan hockey sophomore Michael Hayes will return for his junior season, a decision that disappointed the Canadiens, who were preparing to add him to their playoff roster. The show also dives into the Detroit Tigers' dramatic 10-9 comeback win over the Royals, their sixth straight victory, and previews their upcoming series against the struggling Boston Red Sox. Additional segments include NBA play-in tournament updates, the Pistons' eligibility for end-of-season awards despite injuries, and a passionate call for Michigan to elevate women's hockey to varsity status. The episode closes with a preview of the second part of the Michigan Recruiting Insider podcast and a promotional plug for Full Send Golf.
