Dillon Baxter v. Demetrius Hart

Submitted by KennyGfanLMAO on
If Michigan does get Baxter, would that make Hart change his mind on coming to Michigan next year? Ever since I saw highlights on Hart, I've been very excited to see him commit. But if I had to choose between the two, I would definately go with Baxter mainly because we would get him now instead of 2011 like Hart. Thoughts?

because if you think about it, with a year of redshirt he would be a freshman when baxter is a junior (that is is baxter does not redshirt which i dont think he will). then he would only have two years of playing behind baxter, one of which he would not have to compete with v. smith and baxter both

Hart is versatile enough to move to Slot Ninja and then theres the fact that Hart is probably a competitor and won't be scared off by Baxter. And then theres the fact that Michigans offense uses 2-4 RB at a time

If Dillon Baxter becomes available and wants to come to Michigan - you take him. Period. He is a 5-star talent, good size for a back, and has breakaway speed. Baxter is in the immediate class and then you worry about Hart later as he is a 2011 prospect. Michigan needs to finish this class strong with the slots remaining and then they can shift focus to next year.

If we can't take both, I'll go with Baxter. I want the sure thing now. If Hart commits now he's still got a year to get snake oiled, and who knows what is gonna happen next year in our season RE: RichRod's job. Baxter now for sure. Plus, he's supposed to be really fucking good. San Diego is the cradle of Running Backs

You take as many good players as you can possibly get. Just look at USC's tailback situation. Broderick Green (transfer), Emmanuel Moody (transfer), Stafon Johnson (freak neck injury), and Joe McKnight (rollin' on dubs) were all highly rated backs who did not completely pan out. When you recruit all of those guys AND 5-star Allen Bradford, you can still win your bowl game. EDIT: I forgot to mention Marc Tyler, CJ Gable, and I'm sure a couple of young guys, but I think you get the point.

Is too much of a good thing bad? . . . . Do you think we'd stop recruiting Hart if Baxter were to come? . . . . Can you ever have enough RB depth (look at us this year, for instance)? . . . . The Anti-Knowledge has spoken...

How likely is it that Baxter comes here, anyways? I've seen a lot of spec, but sine he's been committed a long time, he hasn't said much about other schools. Oh, and the answer is clearly "yes".

That said, take Baxster now. This kid could be a game changer in this kind of offense. Obviously RB is his main position but you could line him up anywhere he's a plaaaaya.
