Waaay Too Early '15-'16 Depth Chart

Submitted by Mr. Yost on

Obviously too early for multiple reasons...
 

  1. It's November 29th, 2014
  2. We don't know who our coach will be next season
  3. We haven't been through winter conditioning or spring ball too get an idea of who is playing where...
  4. We have no idea what the system will be and where the personnel will best fit

This is largely based on natural progression and hope. Also, is Peppers going to be a RS Freshman or Sophomore?

Note: I kept 5th year seniors even though a new coach may not renew scholarships if he can get more of "his" recruits in this class. People is get upset when you remove the 5th year guys.

I thought he decommitted and has been trashing Michigan for their poor usage of Butt these last few weeks? Also, it will be hugely important for the new coach to convince guys to stay. This could be a good roster if guys don't leave, but I'm expecting to see some casualties (in the form of transfers) as a result of the transition.

Nobody is taking into account the attrition UM is going to go through after Hoke is let go tomorrow.  The kids love him and there will be plenty who leave.  Add this to the fact that UM will be lucky to sign 10 kids in this class and you have a very thin depth chart for whoever the next head coach is.
