Kris Frost: Silent Commit?
I just finished listening to Sam Webb's "Recruiting Roundup" on WTKA.com and he mentioned that there are a couple of kids who are silent commits to UM for the 2011 class.
Sam then received a call from "Mark from Novi" asking about the situation with Frost and Lyons. Sam's response regarding Frost was (paraphrased): "Michigan leads...BIG TIME." Sounds like Frost is a silent commit to me. Let's just hope he "sees the light" and realizes that he (and UM) will be best served playing OLB rather than WR.
Btw, while Sam's assessment of the situation with Lyons was not quite as promising (e.g. doesn't sound like a silent), he still expressed cautious optimism regarding Lyons due to 1) UM's academics and 2) Blake Countess's efforts to recruit Lyons to UM.

Does the offer to Raymon Taylor mean that we might see some position changes in our secondary?

Position changes seem inevitable at this point, at least if all these cornerbacks stick to their word. It's also been rumored that Dallas Crawford would start off at FS if he stays committed.

but, his interview seemed as if he was giving himself a way out...
I do like his demeanor and he speaks with conviction in his voice. LB all the way!

... be interesting to see where he ends up on the field. I hope he picks linebacker.

Every time I see K. Frost's name I think of this

If you get Kris Frost to come to Michigan, the best way to get the most out of him is by plugging him into the linebacker position from day one. Get him lifting with the linebackers while learning the position and with a redshirt year and then possibly another season of sitting back and watching guys like Demens, Jones, Gordon, Fitzgerald, Furman, Bell, and Ryan. By his redshirt sophomore season he could be 6'3 and about 235 pounds. If this happens, watch out because he could be an absolute stud.

I understand that most people think Frost will be a better linebacker than wide receiver but I could see him comparing favorably to Junior Hemingway in skill set. Fast but not a super deep threat who has significant size to box out guys on jump balls. I also don't think we are loaded at outside wide receiver, so I could definetely seed him ending up at wide receiver and I think that would be fine for our team.

Honestly, he's just not a very good wide receiver. I mean, he's good for a high schooler. But his ceiling is lower. Junior Hemingway was a middling recruit because of his speed, but he always received rave reviews for his ability to run after the catch (which we saw against Illinois this year). However, there's no such buzz about Frost.
Frost could be a solid college wide receiver...and that's probably about it. To be a successful NFL wide receiver, you need to be really tall, really fast, really elusive, or [preferably] all three. Frost isn't really any of those things.
But Frost could be a very good college linebacker and play at the next level, too. He looks like he could be about 6'3" and 235 lbs. with good speed for a linebacker. Mix in a little bit of solid coaching (and this is where I'm crossing my fingers), and he could be a wrecking ball.

Catch everything thrown at you, because that is why Avant has a job (and most white WRs).

Not cool, man. Not cool. Keep your racist remarks to yourself!
EDIT: Ummm...I was just kidding. I guess other people took you seriously.

I hope the mods delete your comment about wide reciever demographics. They have no place here. Feeding into racial stereotypes is never a good idea in any public forum.

I'm not saying your comments should be broadcasted but there is definitely a double standard on MGoBlog with these sort of comments.
Brian makes a comment...everyone laughs. Anyone else makes a comment and they get their head chopped off.
I guess being the god of MGoBlog has its benefits.
