Due to injury and he was in line for even less playing time. Im surprised he stuck around this long to be honest. You can tell he really tried to be patient and if Hoke wasnt such a wizard at recruiting he may have had a chance to make a real impact. Good luck kid. I hope you find a place to make a real impact and hopefully even the NFL.

IMHO, nobody works harder at covering Michigan recruiting—and cultivating relationships—than Sam Webb. He's working his phone 24/7, continually attends camps locally and across the country, and gets to know kids and their parents in a way that few, if any, other recruiting guys do.

From What Was Said...
From What Was Said...
From what was said around the time of spring camp, apparently Mattison liked the competition at CB and Talbott was apparently in that mix, so this is a bit disappointing to hear, but it seemed like he likely would not get much field time here. Best of luck, Mr. Talbott.

Big weekend for Green
Big weekend for Green
This is such a big weekend with Green here for 3 days. We dont' have an elite RB prospect on the roster after Fitz. (Not that none of our current guys can't exceed expectations.) So to get a 5* RB in the 2013 class is a huge deal. If Green goes blue, he joins us for Fitz's (presumed) senior year. If he doesn't, the earliest we can get an elite RB on campus is the year after Fitz leaves. I personally have high hopes for Deveon Smith, but it will be interesting to see how he progresses this fall. Still, with our OL recruiting, we ought to have a top RB recruit.

I don't know what your definition of elite is, but Justice Hayes was a pretty much consensus Top-100 player coming out of high school, and he appears to have put on some bulk this offseason.

Basically 5*
Basically 5*
It goes to show how good things are, doesn't it, when we feel like we have to have a 5* running back. I think it is going to be very interesting to see what Justice can do -- as you know the reports have been suggestive. If Fitz is out for Bama, as seems likely, it really gives an opportunity to Rawls, Hayes, etc. I would love to be pleasantly surprised. And I would love to get a commitment from Green this weekend.

You always take a veteran on
You always take a veteran on
You always take a veteran on the team versus a recruit. The recruit may not go here, decommit late, have a severe injury, quit, etc and will never see the field. Losing an experienced corner with two seasons left to play is not offset by a recruit for this season...Down the road maybe, but I never understood why people would take that 'trade'.
July 26th, 2012 at 11:49 AM |
Maybe because...
Maybe because...
The two guys who may commit to us are both offensive weapon juggernauts. I understand your point, veteran leadership and experience is key. But usually thats reserved for the senior/junior starters.

If you always kept experience over a recruit, then every 5th year senior would get the 5th year. We know that's not always the case.

This will undoubtedly come
This will undoubtedly come
This will undoubtedly come off badly, but I'm not against having a program where some kids leave provided they are not carpet-bombing the program on the way out. This feels like a playing time issue (pure conjecture, but based on his suspected position on the depth chart), and thus more normal attrition than what we saw for a couple of years.
Wish him the best.
July 26th, 2012 at 12:30 PM |
This is a good problem.
This is a good problem.
I also suspect we'll start seeing more and more of this as the depth of talent starts to stack up. Simply put, the more guys we have as back-ups who could be starting for most/many teams in the country, the more they will choose to go somewhere else to start.
IIRC, Talbott played quite a bit as a true freshman.
