In my opinion, this would be a great addition to our class. D'Shawn is a pure athlete. Along with being a great Cb he is also a great return man. He seems to be a big fan of Jabrill Peppers as his last highlight tape he had pinned on twitter started off with a clip of Jabrill hurdling a player and morphed into a clip of himself hurdling a player. D'shawn Jamison and Myles Sims would be quite the elite CB haul

I see them a lot like the 2015 Michigan team.  They will be much improved with the new coaching staff but they have serious depth issues at some key spots - most notably on the DL.  That will come back to bit them in a few games.

I could see UT going 8-4 or 9-3.

There are still some parallels to Michigan in that it was baffling how poorly Texas was recruiting lately. IIRC in recent years a number of (the state of) Texas' top recruits left the state and at one point Baylor was recruiting better than UT. A big name like Herman was bound to make a huge recruiting splash. If he's a good coach, he'll do well there with the recruits he'll be able to grab - we have to remember ex-Houston coaches are no sure thing

I'm wondering if this kid is a take, why are we going to let Kalon Gervin go to our rival OSU, PSU, MSU etc. They are both listed at the same size. and are similarly ranked. I just heard that Kalon won MVP at the Chicago Under Armor camp this weekend, as he did as an 8th grader. I believe he was invited to the opening too. Any Intel as to why they aren't keeping that option open? Same goes for McCall at Oak Park. He's rated highest in the state.

Both Kalon and the Houston kid are listed at 5'10 180lbs. Kalon comes from a great academic and football school that has a history of producing successful D1 talent, coached by a Michigan man. Joudan Lewis just went pro, was a star at Michigan, a star at Cass Tech, was similar in size, and came from our system. I get the direction they are going with building the team. I think we lose sight of the extraordinary machine in and around Detroit for identifying and developing talent. The West Side Cubs and other organizations have been producing great college and NFL players for over 50 years and great players come thru every year. I hate to see Desmond King a star at Iowa, KJ Hamler at Penn State, now this kid possibly going to Ohio State. We can't ignore the systems we have in place that say "this kid is a beast" when these guys continue to prove that ignoring our own evaluation system is fatally flawed. Did I mention he just won MVP at the Chicago Under Armor camp again? The Detroit Pistons ignored the home grown evaluation system we had in place and passed on a guy who was a National HS player of the year, College player of the year, won every award you can think of including a National Championship and we chose a 7ft. Project because of his size. Carmelo Anthony proved that sometimes the pros overthink what's simple. It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog.

Just read the freep article about Steve Clarkston qb camp.  I'm confused, he played in Jan, practiced in March, and April, but he was limited at the QB guru camp from surgery... When was the surgery, clearly it wasn't a collarbone, or rotator cuff - anyone have any insight?

It seems like it could have been right after the bowl, but as far as we all know, he wasn't really limited in spring, but they make it sound like he could have had it after the Rome trip, so I doubt it was shoulder or arm related if that were the case. They said Speight would not talk about it, so who knows?

Too short? Really -_-

The #28 ranked player in the nation is a 5'10 CB are you saying hed also be too short to perform well?

Did you see his highlight reel? Not only is he a good CB but hes also a stud return man. He could be a future Jourdan Lewis esque player. Also super athletic hurdling players and shit.

You dont turn down a 137th ranked recruit because he's 5'10 and not 6'0. Thats just silly

This kid seems to have Jourdan Lewis senior year run support ability in high school. DO WANT.

Granted, you're talking about a high schooler going against high schoolers, but that was one impressive highlight reel. I'll take him regardless of his height. Good chance he still grows a little. Unless of course that height is a little blown out of proportion like high school numbers tend to do... I think the staff could handle a CB who is 5'10" or 5'11" with that kind of play-making ability and drive to stop the run.
