However, haven't we concluded that some inflation occurs with the posted mgoblue heights and weights?

I'm a little surprised that both of them are conveniently bigger than everyone thought. Then again, I don't think either hit the camp circuit extensively so it could be very possible that they were just off the radar for a long time and their size never got updated

They are bigger than we thought, but still generally undersized.  Gordon, Ross, Morgan, Bolden, and RJS are all under 240 lbs.  Ross' weight actually went down from last year and I can't believe Bolden only went from 223 to 225 lbs.  Beyer is our only LB that will get meaningful snaps that weighs over 240 lbs until Ryan comes back, which will only replace him.

Or miss the man he's supposed to block on special teams.

Dammit, Shawn.  He may have been the cause of the two most painful plays I can think of in recent years for Michigan.  Apart from a couple brutal plays though, I would be perfectly content if McCray could be Shawn Crable 2.0

Yeah, I recall hearing stories reporting he was overweight as a kid and actually dropped a bunch during high school to get down to 220.  I think he will be one of those guys that has to work to keep his weight down.

I was just about to type the same thing.  FWIW....can you imagine for a second what this board would've been like Drew Henson's Freshman year?  #1 rated recruit....from MICHIGAN (fergodssake) and a MFing Quarterback to boot.

Hype machine would've melted.

I guess somewhat to be expected coming off of ACL surgery.

I would add Patrick Kugler to this list at 287 lbs. Going to be hard to come in and compete for starting center underweight. Also Dan Samuelson.
