Former UM commit AJ Dillon goes for 272 yards and 4 TDs
October 14th, 2017 at 5:53 PM ^
He had a great game, but he's been thoroughly mediocre the rest of the season.
Can we please stop this habit of ripping the coaches everytime a former recruit does well?
October 14th, 2017 at 5:55 PM ^
Everything we passed on is now great. Everything we chose is terrible. The end
October 14th, 2017 at 10:27 PM ^
Not trying to be a dick but u watched ever BC game this year? I think today was the first game he started I could be wrong but he looked dam good today and in some other games but the BC line is bad worse then our line has been. He is gonna be a stud and yes even our coaches do make mistakes with recruits. They were no eat with him that they want red him at LB but RB was his preference. So maybe coaches should have took him as a RB. I am by no means saying I know talent better than our staff but even Saban or Urban makes mistakes with evaluating recruits it is not always 100%. In saying that Daivd Reese looks good at Florida and he would look great next to Bush because Mcray looks like he is battling an injury. Seems like last year he was of faster maybe it is me though. Anyways I am happy Higdon had a great game but dam every 5 star RB we have gotten on this roster has not lived up to it.

Do you realize you just wrote this sentence and published it on a blog for other humans to read?
"They were no eat with him that they want red him at LB but RB was his preference."
October 14th, 2017 at 11:45 PM ^
You just don't understand... GAWD!
October 15th, 2017 at 9:53 AM ^
Don't you ever type with your feet just for kicks??
October 14th, 2017 at 5:53 PM ^
Really liked his film, possibly more than Najee Harris. Was pretty pissed when he decommitted. And we told him we wanted him to play LB?
October 14th, 2017 at 5:58 PM ^
I did not know we had Mel Kiper on the board.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:25 PM ^
what else are we supposed to judge by? Stars?
October 14th, 2017 at 6:36 PM ^
because I have zero influence on how they get there. Coaches do that.
October 14th, 2017 at 5:58 PM ^
I told a friend I thought he was better than Eric Dickerson and Barry Sanders combined.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:21 PM ^
Like Dickerson and Sanders, but faster
October 14th, 2017 at 6:35 PM ^
With a touch of Earl Campbell when things got tough.....
October 15th, 2017 at 4:56 AM ^
The 'ol sand dick.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:24 PM ^
I thought he was better than Jim Brown and Red Grange. My wife is also Morgan Fairchild. Trust me.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:29 PM ^
M. Fairchild had awesome pointy 70s boobs. They don't make boobs like that anymore
October 14th, 2017 at 6:50 PM ^
Those boobies be pointing straight at the floor now.
October 14th, 2017 at 8:49 PM ^
probably. I only remember her from prune commercials as a kid. forgive me if I don't find her attractive, prune commercials will do that.
October 14th, 2017 at 5:53 PM ^
Nobody cares
October 14th, 2017 at 5:55 PM ^
Post at ESPN or something already.
October 14th, 2017 at 5:57 PM ^
His long td run today where he threw a defensive back off him was incredible. Louisville yet again loses to an inconference opponent
October 14th, 2017 at 5:59 PM ^
That was one of the most mansome runs I have seen.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:02 PM ^
A better version of De'Veon Smith.
October 14th, 2017 at 5:57 PM ^
Looks like you don’t do much research when posting subjects. That is unfortunate.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:07 PM ^
When a kid commits I watch the tape, read about them, get to know them a bit. If they decommit I often continue to follow when they get to school. Apologies if I am the only one who does that, but I figured there were others who would be interested. Most of the time the coaching staff saw something and these kids fade into obscurity. This was an exception.
October 14th, 2017 at 7:21 PM ^
Please keep it to yourself next time. Thanks
October 14th, 2017 at 9:11 PM ^
Naaa na na naaa naaa!
October 14th, 2017 at 10:06 PM ^
fuck off douche
October 14th, 2017 at 10:30 PM ^
Uh oh, Internet tough guy alert! Nice use of the English language, genius.
October 14th, 2017 at 9:13 PM ^
I think k his point was he did not decommit because the coaches told him they wanted him at backer and not at RB. He had upside at both and would have given a shot at rb.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:09 PM ^
How many true freshmen have games like that?
Shit man, we just had our first 200 yard/game RB in a decade.
I don't know if it requires a thread, but it's pretty damn good.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:02 PM ^
What a special time this must be for him.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
we just had Higdon bust out for 200 yards and 3 TDs and people are posting about former recruits.
God, I hate this fanbase.
October 14th, 2017 at 10:08 PM ^
then go somewhere else. this post is not discounting what higdon did, simply giving an update on a former commit.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
And our running back went for 200 yards on 25 carries.
October 14th, 2017 at 9:37 PM ^
Toby. Nobody needs your negativity right now. Pam is doing a fine job as a salesman/woman.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:06 PM ^
This is like the 10th time he's been mentioned here today. WTF?
He didn't want to come here. Fine, we've got plenty of other backs, including one who just rushed for 200 yards himself.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:27 PM ^
debateable that he didn't want to come here. I think the coaches didn't want him.
October 14th, 2017 at 7:35 PM ^
That's not what he said. He said he did want to come here and but he wanted to play RB and that wasn't a guarantee here.
October 14th, 2017 at 9:24 PM ^
Do people not get that harbaugh will move a guy around to different positions, particularly if they guy showed upside at more than one spot.
He would have started at RB and if there was a better spot for him he would go there. Harbaugh will never give promises like you will for sure play "x" position to a kid that can play more than one spot.
But Gentry, and Mason, were given shots at positions they wanted, before being told that they have better upside at another and eventually moved. This would have happened with Dillion. He wanted more guarantee he would play the position he wanted. Which is fine.
But the idea harbaugh told him he wanted him solely for backer before he went through a fall practice is against how he operates.
October 14th, 2017 at 11:08 PM ^
They do get that and that is why some choose to go elsewhere. How can you fault a guy who knows he is good enough to be a stud no matter where he goes but doesn't necessarily want to platoon? Let's be honest, if he was here he would not have had the game he had today because he would be sharing time with Higdon, Isaac, and Evans. And maybe Kareem Walker too obviously.
And I am going off of what the kid himself said in a few interviews so I wouldn't be so quick to just dismiss it. He said he wanted to be solely a RB and it wasn't a guarantee at Michigan. Seems a pretty clear statement to me
October 14th, 2017 at 6:06 PM ^
Happy for him, but I running back-and-forth for 200 yards
October 14th, 2017 at 6:08 PM ^
I'm sure you want the Boston College offense as well.
October 14th, 2017 at 10:10 PM ^
probably better at this point. know nothing about bc, but knowing where Michigan's offense is, I'd take you, me, and wd over Michigan's offense.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:09 PM ^
He was averaging 3.8 yd per carry with 88 attempts and had scored 2 td's before seeing the Louisville defense today. Pump the breaks.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:11 PM ^
Can he play QB?
October 14th, 2017 at 6:22 PM ^
O Tackle?
October 14th, 2017 at 6:14 PM ^
Former recruit had a good game. Shut down the program.
October 14th, 2017 at 6:23 PM ^
I'm still happy we defeated Indiana today.
