What about him playing right tackle I know he doesn't have great arm length. He seems like he could play four spots on the line other than LT. although Shane being a south paw....

I don't think he has the size
I don't think he has the size
I don't think he has the size to play tackle unless he hits a growth spurt. I think he'll end up at guard. For several years, Michigan offensive tackles have all been 6'6" to 6'8". Plus I think one of Cole's strengths is his ability to pull, which is a skill used less often at tackle.

Coles commitment
Coles commitment
Coles' commitment after Montgomery left just proves that Montgomery wasn't really doing all that much and we're better off cutting the dead weight from the program
Intensity is a lot of guys that run fast.
February 25th, 2013 at 6:19 PM |
Yes thats definitely it!
Yes thats definitely it!
Especially since Montgomery was the one who was involved in bringing in Ferns, Speight and Mone. You never like it when a guy is bringing in quality players like that. He was also pretty involved with quite a few other guys on the board so its a great thing he's gone. I would definitely not call him "dead weight". He did a pretty good job while at Michigan.
February 25th, 2013 at 6:20 PM |
Now that's just crazy talk.
Now that's just crazy talk.
Now that's just crazy talk. From all accounts the guy was a good coach and a good recruiter. Hoke and Co. will likely hire another coach (not for DL, but perhaps for another position group) that is also a good coach and good recruiter.
Jerry Montgomery leaving was not the end of the world as some posters seemed afraid of, but it is also not "cutting dead weight".
Edit: If you were using sarcasm, Sushi, I totally missed it.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Scott needs to jump on board first. If that happens I don't think it would affect Harris too much.

It seems they're different types of receivers
so probably not at all. Scott's size says more slot receiver to me, whereas Harris is pure wideout. I could be wrong on that assessment however.
