TomVH: Update on ATH Kris Frost and WR Devin Lucien

I just caught up with 4 star ATH Kris Frost. He told me has spoken to Brady Hoke, and that the Michigan staff will be coming down for an in home visit. He's not sure what the date will be, but it will be soon.

Frost hasn't heard yet from Auburn on whether or not they'll accept him. They told him they're waiting to see who goes pro to see if they have room. If they say no Michigan has a great shot.

Unfortunately Michigan is out of the running with California WR Devin Lucien. Chris Singletary called Devin today and said that Michigan will recruit him for defense, and Lucien doesn't want that. He said, "It killed my heart, because you know how I felt about Michigan." At one point Lucien had told me he was just waiting to make sure his scholarship would be honored and he would commit to Michigan. They told him this morning that they want him as a defensive back.

Kris Frost already had an in home with RR.  If Hoke and staff do this while we are on probation it will be a disaster for the program.  The only way the staff can see Frost is if he takes an unofficial to M.

I study him and I see some things that are good for great teams. I watched RR accept failure as an option and therefore he is gone. Nick on the other hand, if you miss field goals, blocks, passes etc he literally recruits your position. We have no room to accept less than the best.

He got negged because Saban doesn't just recruit your position on the field - he recruits to fill your scholarship position when he finds a way to get you off of the team.  That, my friend, is bullshit, and nobody here wants Michigan to employ such practices.  Not everybody's soul is for sale quite so cheaply.

No need to tell him what he wanted to hear, but a talented kid just should not be turned away especially when numbers are short.  Unless he's messing with us, this is just disturbing/frustrating.

Call me crazy, but maybe we shouldn't be turning away 4* guys who want to play for Michigan because we want to switch their positions?  

I guess maybe it's better than being dishonest and forcing a switch later, but jesus this class is horrendous bordering on catastrophic and you'd think we'd be in the market for top-flight talent.

I agree the Lucien thing has me really confused. Another possibility is that they may not take a full class this year in order to bank the scholarships for next year. By then they will have a better idea of what positions need to be addressed. Just a shot in the dark.

I thought about this possibility as well, but, with the defense numbers that we put up (or didn't), and the inconsistency our offense showed, I would think they would want to get guys in the door soon than later, to start righting the ship.

Not to mention the fact the we currently have exactly TWO commits on the offensive side of the ball, one of whom is a lineman who is on the fence.  I know defense is an area of need, but teams always need WRs and QBs.  We currently have none.  Zero.  Why would we be turning anyone away?

I'd like to think that Hoke will be able to turn this around in two weeks, but how can this possibly end well?  We have 10 commits right now. 10.  And that's assuming nobody else jumps ship.

Perhaps Hoke thinks that WR isn't a position of need for us.  If that is the case, then it may indicate the usage of less WRs than under RR.  Hopefully this doesn't mean a whole bunch of 2 WR sets.

I just hope they are trying to overload the defensive recruiting so we can field something competent by 2012.

Still though, I was a big Lucien fan, and would have liked him on the team regardless.

you don't get competent that quickly with this recruiting classes full of defensive players.  It takes at least 2 years for them to make a significant impact/contribution to the team.  Michigan needs talents regardless of what side of the ball they play at.
