Comparison between Trent Thompson and Rashan Gary

Submitted by BlueCube on

247Sports did a comparison of 2015 #1 recruit DT Trent Thompson who committed to Georgia and 2016 current #1 DT Rashan Gary who will hopefully be a Michigan commit.

JC Shurburtt who did the comparison said while he considered it a tossup, he would give a slight edge to Thompson. He also said that shows how good Gary will be given that he has another year to improve.

We need to land this guy.

He's a beast. He would be a huge get for Harbaugh and Co. Haven't had a force on the inside since Branch and Martin. Hopefully a committment from Peters will get the ball rollin on 2016.

Didn't he plan his visit to Ohio State first, then make his Michigan plans around that?  I'm not sure if we should think of this kid as a Michigan lean.

Thanks, I thought I saw Magnus or someone else in one of the other threads mentioning the OSU visit being set first.  With his old coach on staff and a couple of teammates here and interest on his part, it's reasonable to expect we're in a good position.  But he's from NJ, and if the primary reason he was coming this way was to visit OSU, then I'm going to dial back enthusiasm.

Urban Eyer can't use the old "Michigan doesn't develop their players." myth anymore, nor can he realisticaly claim that he can do a better job preparing the kid for the NFL, having never played or coached a down on the professional level. Urban is a great college coach, but did he ever even play on the college level?

Remember that one time, three years ago, when we landed the top-rated five-star defensive tackle in the country? Who's a senior on the team now? No?

Gary is an absolute must get. Under Hoke the trenches were a disaster in all but the sugar bowl season. Against teams like MSU, and OSU, dominating the trenches is imperative in getting the W.

Crazy story, this blog has 19 replies to a legit football comparison and subject involving the #1 need for our 2016 recruiting...meanwhile comparisons of addidas highlighter yellow and nike maize have garnered nearly 160 rapt admirers...i have officially landed in the Bizarro World of MgoBlog threads.

Well the other thread actually led to a discussion. It offered a bunch of new Michigan clothing, to which people obviously had reactions to - some in support, most of them against. Plus, as a group, we kind of hate the addidas highlighter yellow and its always fun to hate on addidas when it brings up crap clothing styles.

This thread on the other hand, while bringing a legit football comparison, doesnt really have a discussion point. I mean, we all would love to have Gary... there's no one who would say the opposite.
