RBs can jump in earlier than other positions so long as the pass pro is there. There will be other options (and I suspect really good options) with or without a Walker fifth year

Sam had an interview with Wheatley before last weeks game and he said Walker was working hard and could be back in practice soon. He also had high praise for Higdon.
IMO, it's worthless to redshirt a high profile RB. If Walker lives up to his recruiting ranking, he'll be gone in three years. Running backs have a very shot life span in the NFL so he has to go as soon as possible.

Makes me so happy people are finally jumping on board.
I'd do those depth charts in the offseason and people automatically dismissed him because he didn't do much last year.
My comment to that was, he had to have done things in practice to earn the carries he got. He seemed like an obvious redshirt choice and he played and we even had special packages for him last year. He'd just get tripped up or someone would miss the one block he needed to spring a big run.
The kid can play - no question. I'm glad he's having some success now and showcasing his skills. He and Evans give us some quality speed at the RB position so we don't need to use Jabrill as much.

I love Deveon just as much as the next guy. And having said that, Higdon is my favorite back. He shows us that he has a lot of game in his skill set.

I just can't believe that same forklift driver that ran over Drake Johnson ran Kareem over too last week.

reattached after we beat OSU and MSU.

sixth years. The team will be so much younger next year and we could use their experience. But more importantly it would be a better way for them to wrap up their UM careers. Clark could get drafted (he was probably at best a UFA) and Drake could get a look as a UFA as well.

Definitely not. In my mind, I pay for access to papers and recruiting sites to be the first to know new information. I respect the work these guys do (on the whole). If you haven't yet, consider adding MGoBlog as an associate on Amazon.
September 26th, 2016 at 12:24 PM ^
If the agreement between you and the newspaper is that you won't share/repost the content to those who don't pay for it....then yes.

You didn't ask if it was a good business model or not.
September 26th, 2016 at 12:28 PM ^
I'll only share it unitl my seed ratio goes above 1:1 then stop telling everyone, that cool?

Harbaugh just contradicted the article.
Said the plan is to redshirt right now.
September 26th, 2016 at 12:23 PM ^
Harbaugh says Walker will "probably" redshirt this season. But he says he's doing well in the classroom.

Harbaugh just said he'd probably redshirt and that class is going really well for Walker. That was free info, from the press conference going on right now.
September 26th, 2016 at 12:52 PM ^
That's ambitious.
September 26th, 2016 at 2:09 PM ^
The pay article was out before Harbaugh talked about Walker.
September 26th, 2016 at 12:52 PM ^
Not sure why people need to solicit info that they are too cheap to pay for...It is one thing for people to voluneteer info, but this site posts stuff so regularly that posts like this are a waste of space
September 26th, 2016 at 12:55 PM ^
If you want to know so bad, pay for it.
September 26th, 2016 at 1:02 PM ^
Get his shit together in the classroom and strengthen those legs.
September 26th, 2016 at 1:15 PM ^
if a kid is struggling with academics why not redshirt and let him get used to college classes, develop the right study habits, etc. without the pressure of practicing. That's a lot better than having a kid play only to fail out or transfer
September 26th, 2016 at 1:32 PM ^
While it's not the end of the world if he plays, it wouldn't be that surprising if he redshirted. They're saying that he'll probably start practicing soon, meaning that not only has he missed a significant chunk of the season already (and by missed it's by all accounts completely missed, with 100% focus on academics and seemingly 0% focus on football, outside of the weight room), but more importantly he also missed fall camp. It seems like a tall order to make up enough ground on that front to be able to get in, not to mention to be able to pass some guys on the depth chart, which he'd probably have to do since we're getting more into the meat of the schedule and there will likely be fewer garbage time snaps.

I remember being quite pleased when we kinda stole KW away from OSU. I would also be quite please if/when he does start to become a solid back. This year though, I think our stable is rather impressive already; and I just don't see KW having that much an impact.
