Yes, Michigan will update football roster before opener vs. Florida

Believe it or not, Jim Harbaugh and Michigan will have an updated football roster for the first time in 12 months.

And, apparently, it will be public.

Michigan has not provided an updated roster to the public since August 2016, just before the start of last season. At current moment, the team's official page on MGoBlue.com still features names, heights and weights from last season. So, the likes of Shane Morris, Devin Asiasi and several other players who have either graduated, transferred or departed the program still are listed.

After plenty of questions publicly and otherwise, Harbaugh addressed the topic Sunday via Twitter.

Michigan was the only Big Ten school at the league's media days last week without an updated roster. And, at this point, it may be the only school in America without a public update.

Last week, NJ Advance Media went as far as submitting a Freedom of Information Act request for a formal roster.

Barring any surprises, Michigan should be right at its 85 scholarship limit for the 2017 season.

Harbaugh explained last month at Big Ten media days in Chicago, just before the start of fall camp, that he still had some decisions to make as to who would be involved in preseason practices. Most of those decisions typically center around walk-on players.

Michigan considers Aug. 28 the start of its first official game week of the season. The Wolverines open the 2017 campaign against Florida on Sept. 2 in Texas.
