Flip him Brady. I heard a rumor on 247 that he's not very solid to Ohio which can be confirmed by his visits to Michigan and MSU recently. It would be sweet and a gut punch to Meyer if we got him to flip to the good guys.

My fear with Webb is that he
My fear with Webb is that he
My fear with Webb is that he is such an early commit, he will develope relationships he will not be willing to break. And once you start recruiting other players, it's hard to backtrack. The longer he is committed to them, the tougher it will be.
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

The solace I take in the Webb

The solace I take in the Webb situation is that Cass Tech players have been so vastly overrated for sometime now that I just assume that he (as well as UM's Cass Tech commits, unfortunately) will never really live up to the recruiting hype.

Not sure why you would take solace in this. Coach Wilcher is a Michigan Man and he's doing a great job with the CT program. He deserves a lot of credit for churning out more and more players that are garnering national attention. It will only benefit Michigan if these guys start to meet or exceed expectations.

his commitment was done impulsively. Happens a lot. See: Ward, Denzel. Glad to see Michigan is staying on him. Elite talent or not, can't have Ohio taking our guys.

Michigan has limited scholarships save the de spots for McDowell an Hand
February 13th, 2013 at 9:23 PM |
Hand is the #1 overall
Hand is the #1 overall
Hand is the #1 overall prospect in the country. We would likely accept him as a "best available" even if our DE needs were met. Preventing Urban Meyer from building pipelines into the state of Michigan is a huge priority, and landing Marshall is a major step toward stemming that tide.
Also, while it is technically correct to say that our scholarships are limited (in the sense that, due to NCAA rules, there are a finite number of scholarships we're able to give out), this class is not shaping up to be significantly smaller than a standard class, once you factor in expected attrition.

No disrespect intended,
but I don't think you know what you are talking about. Hoke and Mattison have both mentioned that that the 5-tech and 3-tech can be somewhat interchangeable in our defense. You are the first one I've seen suggest they look at the 5-tech and 7-tech that way. It's pretty obvious they have been recruiting different types of players for those positions.

How is continuing to recruit someone that you've offered "settl[ing] for less talent"? Are you suggesting that Marshall's was somehow not a "commitable offer"? #bucknuts'd
Also, I'll reiterate that we would likely take Hand regardless.

Chicken or Egg
With Alabama and LSU it's really hard to tell if they are doing an extraordinary job developing these players or they are just recruiting absolute studs.
I trust our staff to develop d-linemen as well as any other staff in the country given their focus and the head coach's background. Now if we could just pull in a few of those SEC type talents.
