Denard No. 6, Lewan was 10.

My prediction to finish out the rest:
1. Ball
2. Simon
3. Tom (This bottles my mind)
4./5. Burkhead, somebody else who I can't think of.

Gholston gets the hype because of name-recognition. Anyway, I'm not watching DiNardo again until he resumes eating citrus fruits without peeling them first.

I think it is a little of that and also because he did have a great game in the Outback Bowl win for them. He is also a physical specimen. I can't wait to see the battle between him and Lewan again this season.
"They will meet a dastardly fate here for that! There isn't a Michigan Man who wouldn't like go out and scalp those Buckeyes right now."
seems like the trend is that, if you play well in a bowl game, that's what defines you as a player. gholston had a great bowl game. so, obviously, that's how good he's going to be all year. he also tried to twist off denard's head thinking that no cameras would catch the act. so, he is also a genius. and, finally, dirtiness equates to intimidating/good in some people's minds (see, e.g., idiot Drew Sharp).
I must have missed something, who is Tom?

He's the mind bottler.

Story is, when he visited U of M while being recruited, we kept accidently calling him Tom instead of his real name, which infuriated Tom (I mean Will) and created a bit of anger between him and us. That part of the story I believe may be true and is told by Gholston himself.
Also, rumor has it, Lewan called him Tom seconds before Gholston threw his infamous punch...
Yep, I won't disagree with that. Which begs the question, "Why did you read that, then subject other to it?" I don't have an answer. My apologies. Here is an adorable kitten in a wine glass:

Is this list based off of hype, or actual production? If these spots were earned then Drob, Short, and Hankins would be higher rated. Also, ill take Fitz over Burkhead.
How many times have you been on the freeway and had someone fly by you at 100 mph then end up 2 cars ahead of you at the off ramp? What's the point? -Mark Harmon
Burkhead top 5 fo sho. His performance in the Michigan game last year was mind bottling!!!

Any countdown that doesn't recognize Denard as THE most electric and valuable player to his team in the B1G is not worth reading.
That's absurd. If you want to take Ball, go for it, but Denard is clearly a top 2 football player in the Big Ten. I don't care how much he can't pass the football, what other QB are you taking right now? Blank stare...

I'm not positive that anyone actually watches Michigan State. I watched the BTN preview for them today and Dinardo was lucky to come up with any names during the discussions of different positions, and Gholston gets all of this hype having done nothing last year. It would be one thing if all of the players on their defense sucked, but with players like Bullough and Allen (really anyone else in the the front 7 two-deep) making more plays than Gholston the only conclusion is that no one is watching.
But on this topic, if people take Burkhead over Denard that's just insanity.
Go Blue!
