Big corners are a staple of Alabama's roster.  I think Saban has a "cutoff" height at which he won't recruit CB's.  With the trend toward taller receivers, I like the idea of Harbaugh recruiting bigger corners.

J Lewis could never play another down and be the best Cass Tech player in Michigan history by miles. Cass Tech never fails to fail, flop, and flunk. Hopefully Jourdan, Mike Weber, and Donovan Peoples-Jones start a new wave of great CT success at UM.

faultless on that front. I can hardly come up with a name that isn't Patrick Omameh that outperformed expectations over the past 10 years. the only difference is that all the other guys came from a variety of schools, while you're just focusing on maybe a dozen that came from one.

Gordon was horrible at safety gave up big play after big play.

Huckleby had 2624 career yards at Michigan or  656 yards a season and averaged 4tds a year. That is good but far from great

Williams was a 3rd down back. I never remember him doing anything that great.

Curtis Greer was hands down best player from Cass Tech we can agree on him.

they have some speed and toughness.  Short corners are frequently at a disadvantage against tall wideouts.  And they are less effective at run support.  That's why I wasn't very sad to lose Shaun Crawford.  He might end up being good.  But, his loss is an opportunity to trade "up" to a bigger CB.

His retweet of this Arkansas fan is ironic considering that Bielema is the prototypical meathead screamer. It would be funny to see what she says to some of the Bielema pics from his Wiscy days.

Not sure if that's true.  There are no strict cut-offs.  Admissions counselors (a) look at trends in grades (moving higher from frosh to senior year), (b) discount bad semesters for extenuating circumstances (e.g., parents went through divorce or other rough patch), (c) weigh certain schools and classes higher than others (also, 2.9 gpa out of what? and what percentage ranking is that in the class?), (d) look at extracurriculars (extra weight for great athletes, musicians, etc.), (e) legacy status and donation records, and (f) diversity (but on a softer level after the lawsuits of the past decade).

In addition, they typically report the 25% and 75% numbers, therefore, they do not report the very very low or very very high numbers.... and you would be surprised how low or how high those are.

Indecent Exposure, but there's still a chance that he'll consider Intestinal Fortitude, Independent Studies. Intergalactic Travel, and Inconvenient Truth.  The early leader for his commitment was Indescribably Delicious.

I just took a look and it seems like you're talking about "Eric Lemaster"... The guy just tweeted at the kid and said that we can't keep getting 3 stars... 

I'm sure that makes the kid feel welcome....

What's wrong w/ these ppl? 

Dave Brandon said it best "Quit drinking and go to bed!"  I don't care if it's only 1:00 pm.
