the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection
2013 TE Durham Smythe to ND
It's weird to think that the ND series is ending/indefinitely suspending soon. I see a ND commitment and have to remind myself that it really won't be affecting Michigan soon.
My opinion means nothing, but I would like to see the coaches offer maybe a shorter, really raw receiver that has displayed elite speed and an ok catching instinct, but not much in the way of route-running or blocking. Someone under the radar that has a lot of athletic ability and potential. I am pretty confident that one out of the group of Jerald Robinson, Chesson, Darboh, or even Joe Reynolds can step up into the flanker spot next year, especially with Gardner at QB (since he has shown that he's willing to scramble, unlike Denard).
Dukes, Jones, and York all seem to be a little lacking on the speed, so having just one receiver to complement those 3 would help to round out this class I think.
Jerald Robinson is no longer with the team...

Maybe James William Bottomtooth III is available.
Meh.
Denard has spent the offseason working really hard and smiling at people.
Any chance Michigan could make a late play for Levenberry?
He has 10 days to hop on the AA Train.
Seriously, I expect us to chase a rangy SAM with pass-rushing talent and redshirt intent.

Sounds like a freakin' bond villain.....
No radio. Nothing of value.
So Michigan rounds out its class with Green, Smythe (TE) goes to ND even though Michigan has Butt and Hill at those positions. Not sure if there is a real need at TE with two already in this class. With signing day coming up and potentially one to two scholarships remaining, assuming Poggi goes to Alabama, what other vacancies needs to be filled? Hoke didn't pull in near as large of a number of defensive prospects as offensive recruits. Who else is on the radar for Michigan?
Hello Charles Woodson, now give me the ball on offense. - Brent Musburger
Assume he is UM until he decommits. Do you have any meaningful info other than he went to AL with his dad this weekend?
( Just trying to catch up in case I missed any weekend news.)

I only follow what's posted on here and whatever 11W says. I haven't seen much to say that he's going elsewhere but then again we all know Nick Saban can manipulate kids to flip from one school to the other. Your guess on his committment is as good as mine following his trip to Alabama.

My count has us with 87 so far (with Poggi and Green). Depending on what's going on with Hagerup and the injured LBs, that seems like a reasonable number. Seems Hoke is expecting some attrition with the Smythe offer.
I'm expecting a late pick-up as well, but I'm not excited about losing a couple players off the roster even if it's inevitable.
last minute.
Or maybe Reschke is holding off for a surprise last minute switch...would love to see the meltdown in Lansing if that happened...doubt it, but fun to think about.
We missed out on a TE? SOOO FUNCHESS WHAT???
Dude can go Funch himself.
Professor X is our defensive coordinator.
I hear Reuben Foster is still looking for a school next year. Talk about a surpise committ. No visit, no problem. Maybe Poggi is using this Alabama rumour to go find Foster and telling him to go to Michigan. I don't know if Foster is visiting Auburn right now, but if that's the case, Poggi could very well be on the recruiting trail for his friend, Mr. Reuben Foster.
Getting Foster would mean our reactions on here would turn to:
Derrick Green who?
Just kidding, but seriously. That would, and I quote Mr. Green, "Shock the World".
Go Blue
I'm still too elated about Derrick Green to care that Smythe is going to ND. Good luck to him, though.
It will be interesting to see who are the last minute Michigan commits. And I really wish Berkley Edwards would walk-on if he's not one of them. I'm just not comfortable with Braylon's little brother playing elsewhere in the B1G. I will feel salty as hell if he ever scores the winning touchdown to get Minnesota the Brown Jug back.

I will feel salty as hell if he [Berkley Edwards] ever scores the winning touchdown to get Minnesota the Brown Jug back.
I literally LOL'd when I read that sentence. Thanks for the laugh.
We ARE Michigan....COME GET SOME!!!
If we're in a position against Minnesota where Edwards has the chance to win the game, then we have bigger problems to worry about.
We don't need this kid and ND uses the tight end much more then we have thus far. We have a true soph all American TE, AJ Williams and 2 incoming freshmen.... Ill say it again we don't need this kid.
There is god, there is family, and then there is MICHIGAN FOOTBALL
Te'o's girlfriend to occupy final spot in the class
Go Blue!


The only positions where we need reinforcements are QB, WR, and SAM linebacker. I don't really know of any guys in-state who would both be worth a scholarship offer and jump on it.
