Texas Cornerback Jalen Green in the Portal
As said in the header. He seems like an instant take if Michigan can get him to come -- Harbaugh recruited him hard before he committed to Texas.
A bit more about him: https://texassports.com/sports/football/roster/jalen-green/9774
Top 50 composite recruit in the class of 2018, has played in almost every game since stepping on campus, but never became a started on the outside and is leaving with Sark in place. Would be great to get him.
Saying that, I'm sure he's somehow going to wind up on OSU.

The player to be named later in the Black trade.
January 15th, 2021 at 7:47 PM ^
Exit Black and Brown... Now get another Green in a blue uniform so he can cover White better than Gray.

Isn't that a Tarantino script?
January 16th, 2021 at 10:17 AM ^
Not enough N-words for a Tarantino script.

Another superb job by a Darth with UofM ties. A real Sithigan man if you will.
January 16th, 2021 at 3:22 AM ^
upvote and a slow clap
January 16th, 2021 at 7:43 AM ^
Color me impressed.
January 16th, 2021 at 9:56 AM ^
His addition should stop our defense looking black and blue.
January 16th, 2021 at 10:41 AM ^
Take all the ?!!
January 16th, 2021 at 1:44 PM ^
Did you write Airplane! ?
January 15th, 2021 at 7:14 PM ^
All Jalens belong to us.
January 15th, 2021 at 7:47 PM ^
*are belong
January 15th, 2021 at 8:02 PM ^
And all the Greens.
January 16th, 2021 at 11:03 AM ^
Draymond would like to disagree with you.
January 16th, 2021 at 11:04 AM ^
And all the Hill's, Hill-Green's, and any future Green-Hill's.
January 16th, 2021 at 11:08 AM ^
Not Jemele!!!
January 15th, 2021 at 7:14 PM ^
Michigan Football likely leads the nation in Greens. He has to come.
January 15th, 2021 at 7:19 PM ^
I have checked, and he doesn't appear to be related to any Greens currently on the roster.
January 15th, 2021 at 7:23 PM ^
January 16th, 2021 at 10:36 AM ^
State should be flummoxed.
January 15th, 2021 at 7:33 PM ^
His major is Sport. I'm guessing those credits won't transfer
January 15th, 2021 at 7:42 PM ^

This ^ is gold

If that's true, it's a damn shame. If UM doesn't want kids who study sports, it's just one more unnecessary handicap on a program that likes to fight with one hand tied behind its back. Sports is a legit field of study for kids who are good at sports.
January 15th, 2021 at 7:38 PM ^
Why do we want a cb that never started for an average Texas defense?
January 15th, 2021 at 7:41 PM ^
Okay. Who’s explaining the transfer portal here??
January 15th, 2021 at 7:56 PM ^
Probably because he would start for a far less than average defense.
January 15th, 2021 at 8:01 PM ^
Did you watch Michigan's secondary last year?
January 15th, 2021 at 8:29 PM ^
1) He did start. 2) Tons of people were surprised he didn’t start this year. 3) He was still on the field a ton as a 3rd CB. 4) He got injured. 5) His class had multiple highly rated DBs as well as him.
I assume this explains it? But here’s a few headlines and quotes to ensure you get the point:
Texas Football: CB Josh Thompson gets surprise start over Jalen Green
And the second bit of jostling news from this depth chart release came in the form of rising redshirt junior defensive back Josh Thompsongetting the start over the likes of Green and redshirt freshman Kenyatta Watson II at one of the corner spots.
Played in 10 games and started seven games.
He would be the highest rated DB on the roster for Michigan by a long shot and he was starting by his sophomore year. He was in the top 50 in recruiting. He has crazy good size at 6’1” and Michigan needs about two more quality DBs and 3 quality DT. So he is easily a take and would probably be the best DB in Ann Arbor the second he got here.
January 15th, 2021 at 9:25 PM ^
Best DB in Ann Arbor might be a stretch. At least debatable. Best corner though, yes.
January 15th, 2021 at 9:35 PM ^
Alright I’ll give you that Hill is most likely better.
January 16th, 2021 at 10:01 AM ^
Definitely the highest rated by a medium shot.
January 16th, 2021 at 2:07 PM ^
This guy would probably be the CB version of Brad Hawkins. Solid/good but not great. Which is still a huge upgrade over our current corners.
January 15th, 2021 at 8:02 PM ^
Would be nice if he knew who his DC and position coach would be.
January 15th, 2021 at 8:47 PM ^
Harbaugh shouldn’t sleep until he gets a yes from this kid.
January 16th, 2021 at 10:18 AM ^
So did Harbaugh break this record already?
January 15th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
Tyrique Stevenson also recently put his name in the portal as well.
4* CB out of UGA, .9831 24/7 ranking, #3 CB from 2019, #37 prospect overall
He is considered a heavy Miami lean for the record
January 15th, 2021 at 11:17 PM ^
Every time a kid goes into the transfer portal with a 90 or above on 24/7 from initial recruitment will warrant a post.
This will then lead to much hand wringing later when Michigan "failed" to sign said transfer and/or question of new defensive coordinator's talent evaluation skills.
OTOH, if the player is signed then there will be much hand wringing because the new defensive coordinator "is not confident" in the talent currently on the roster.
Rinse/Repeat.
January 15th, 2021 at 11:53 PM ^
Yes to this. I think people are just extra bothered because our biggest positions of need are of the defense and we don’t have a staff in place still. They’re working on it....sucks to be sitting around as these guys get snapped up in the meantime
January 16th, 2021 at 2:35 AM ^
We need DT, DBs and FS, Please pick us.
January 16th, 2021 at 5:40 PM ^
What’s the difference between a DB and an FS?
January 16th, 2021 at 7:23 AM ^
Am I wrong in assuming that most kids that enter the portal know what school they are heading to before they enter the portal?
January 16th, 2021 at 7:49 AM ^
You are wrong. Most kids in the portal won't find a home, because there are over 1000 kids in the portal.
