Remember Jake Fisher?
Boredom has overtaken me and I was wondering where some old Michigan recruits landed and how they're doing, so a Google search of Jake Fisher brought me to this http://oregonduckfootballnews.com/featured/spring-practice-sophomore-ol-... Would have been nice to have had him for depth last year but I'm sure Hoke would have wanted him to pack on 20 more pounds.

That being said, due to the Kalis', the Magnussons', the Boschs', etc. etc. we are no longer in absolute panic mode about OL.

Good answer, but a better question...
Good answer, but a better question...
Interviewer: If Rich Rod would have stayed at Michigan, would you have stayed committed?
Fisher: I guess we'll never know.
A wise answer, indeed. I think a better question for Jake would have been, "If you could have known how successful Michigan was going to be with the new coaching staff, would you have stayed?" That question may have given him a little more pause.

Oregon beat the Big Ten champ in the Rose Bowl. I don't think he's wanting in that department.

Draw=Mich
Draw=Mich
True, but if we can go so far as to say that future team success would have been essentially a draw between the two schools, his affinities for Michigan might have persuaded him to stay.

Well, like he said
Well, like he said
We'll never know. His affinity for Michigan may not be that significant. Obviously he chose Oregon after being committed to Rich Rod, so it seems his affinity is for the style of play.
I guess you can argue our prospects look better than they did when he was a recruit...but he might not have perceived it that way and I'm sure the Rodriguez staff didn't either. It's a matter of perception, and we don't know that Fisher's have changed.
May 17th, 2012 at 3:27 PM |
His choice to go play at
His choice to go play at
His choice to go play at Oregon was motivated by style of play. He left for a higly successful spread oriented team, and has worked his butt off based on those weight gain numbers. Congrats to him, looks like he's headed for the field on Sundays.

good comparison
good comparison
They do have a lot of similar qualities. Apparently Jake just wanted to play in a spread and shred offense.
May 17th, 2012 at 1:28 PM |
In what way? Fisher is
In what way? Fisher is
In what way? Fisher is quicker maybe. Lewan is meaner, bigger and more successful. Lewan did not play TE in HS.
Fisher in the games I have seen him play does not have the ability to shut down DEs like Lewan did Cameron Heyward as a freshman.
You can't judge a player before his career is over but so far Lewan, is better bigger meaner and year to year more successful - perhaps not as quick off the ball. It's hard to compare them straight up - since Fisher has not had the opportunity and plays in the spread which is a different OL philosophy.
I'm just asking, because I know you don't say things without being able to back it up.
May 17th, 2012 at 2:03 PM |
Body type, athleticism, etc.
Body type, athleticism, etc.
Body type, athleticism, etc. I do agree that Lewan is meaner/nastier, but he's also a redshirt junior-to-be. I'll admit that I haven't seen Fisher play since he's been at Oregon, but at this point in Lewan's career, he was coming off his redshirt freshman season and hadn't played a down yet. I might even argue that Fisher has been MORE successful since he actually got on the field for a pretty good team as a true freshman, while Lewan sat on the bench for a crappy 5-7 team.
May 17th, 2012 at 2:27 PM |
We will see this year then.
We will see this year then.
We will see this year then. Andre is not getting the press Fisher is now. I like the OL scheme at Oregon for both these guys. Lewan has shown he can get it done in both systems.

DRob would have done terrible in a well coached high tempo spread offense. Their coach also coaches the defensive team also. Stupid Oregon! (sarcasm detector engaged)

It certainly was significant, especially given the o-line recruiting fall-off under RR. RR landed a few good lineman, but not nearly enough of them. Had Fisher stayed, M's line would at least have some depth this year.

You've got a hard time blaming Fisher's departure on Martin, who (a) hired the guy who got him to commit, and (b) left Michigan more than a year before Fisher decommitted.

He was one of my favorite recruits...I thought he was a natural LT that was going to be next in line after Lewan. To me, he was a shade below Lewan, but still a top prospect who would've been and will be drafted.
