We need to get Ja'Corey Brooks from Alabama...even this Helow thing out. In all honesty, he would be a great addition, he's actually rated higher than McCulley.

Indiana is certainly the place to raise your wide receiver profile right?

1st round talent at WR playing at Michigan will have plenty of opportunities to show their talent.  Scouts aren’t stupid and neither are most football fans. Playing for a winner has its advantages.

RB recruiting has been pretty damn good when a guy like Charbonet who was third string here is getting starters minutes in the NFL.

I'm noticing a trend with your posts across a few threads now Oracle - you are obsessed & angry that Michigan was able to dominate psu by running the ball 30 straight times, or whatever it was. Which is, well, weird maybe? 

You are consistently denigrating M crootin, frequently citing that particular game as evidence why top QBs & WRs won't come to Michigan. And now you've added RBs too?!

I can see you have a Block M in your avatar, but I gotta seriously question whether you're not actually a troll or a plant? Certainly not a trusted agent!

Ima toss 2 names at you, and I'm not even gonna point out the beyond Starz gazing potential of Semaj Morgan or Ben Hall: QB Jadyn Davis & RB Jordan Marshall.

Pretty pretty big recruits at positions you say Michigan is struggling with! 

So, to quote Pete Carroll - "What's your deal"?!

What a joke. Morgan is quick and fast and agile. He set the tone for the Big Ten Championship with an 87 yard return, you dolt.

Why did they not give Ben Hall more  carries? To preserve his redshirt, maybe. Or, because mixing in four RBs is ludicrous. They barely have the time to get Edwards enough touches when they have a bell cow in Corum. And Mullings has been really good.

It is beyond asinine to think that freshmen not playing means the coaches don’t see a future in those guys. It’s like you’ve never seriously understood the whole cycle of a typical college football players career at very good programs. 

This is the most team depth Michigan has had in my 30+ years of watching them devoutly. That’s why certain players aren’t playing as freshmen—they play positions where there’s a lot of depth.

Not mad at all, just pointing out the obvious. Michigan currently has zero QBs in the NFL. They don’t throw the ball nearly as often as other schools, and have continued that philosophy even with McCarthy at QB. In the last two years, two 5 Star QBs from the state of Michigan have chosen to go elsewhere, and it shouldn’t have been surprising. You can blame NIL if you’d like, but why would a 5 Star QB choose a school that doesn’t really like to throw the ball, or doesn’t trust the 5 Star QB who did choose Michigan to make a good decision on a 4th down that would have clinched the biggest game of the year?

I hope Davis turns out to be great, but at this point he’s not even a top 50 recruit. And I never said top ranked RBs shouldn’t consider Michigan. It’s more of a mystery why more of them don’t. What Michigan’s been doing has been working great in the Big 10, obviously, but I bet you agree they’re going to need to throw it successfully to beat Alabama. For that reason, I wish they’d been doing more if it during the season.
