it will be a foolish move.  Not saying this as a homer, saying this based on his final 3.  From a totally objective standpoint, UM is the perfect situation for him given the O-line recruits of the last 2 recruiting cycles and the Man Ball Hoke and Borges want to run.  He and Smith will run the 2 back ground and pound they ran at Auburn and now Nick Saban runs at Bama.

thinking Tennessee and Auburn would be a better choice than someone like say, Ohio State, because of the SEC > B1G thing. But...well...UT and Auburn went 8-16 last year including 1-15 in the SEC. Say anything you want about the SEC and it's dominance. Those two schools currently have nothing to do with it.
