Who do you think will wear #2 jersey?

In an attempt to get away from all of the negative Dunn comments, I thought I would try to spark a conversation and I came across this.

I noticed that Ross Douglas tried on the #2 jersey which Hoke has said will be held for the top DB.

EDIT: It is actually Jourdan Lewis wearing the #2 jersey.

So who do you think out of the touted 2013 class could end up wearing the Deuce jersey?

Candidates? Candidates:

Gareon Conley

Jourdan Lewis

Dymonte Thomas

Ross Douglas

and any other DB prospect I forgot.

My best guess would be Jourdan Lewis, his athleticism reminds me of Woodson so....that helps.

Well, Blake Countess will probably have a year with it.  So unless a freshman comes out crazy, they will have to wait a few years.

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.

 (Torn over whether I want Kovacs to get one or wear his number and maybe earn legend status. However, would that be possible without getting a Heisman?)

If Kovacs goes first team all b10 he is a legend. Walk on 4 year starter that ended all b10 ? Sounds like a Disney movie

 I have a close friend that played on that Irish team. Always stated how he, Montana, and most of the scholarship players couldn’t stand Rudy. They always called him the “Whining little A**hole”, as he’d always complain and say he could such-in-such task better. He hated the movie, but said he saw how it was made because Rudy pestered you to death, would embellish outlandishly, and never take “no” for an answer.

Threw at him right away and often with high success. Other safeties I liked include Marcus Ray, Tommy Hendricks, Tripp Welbourne, a personal favorite, Steve King played some safety I believe. Of course those guys all played on really talented defenses it would be great to see Kovacs get the same this year.

IMO there should be strict requirements to be labeled as a "legend."  Is  #20 going to be a legend jersey?  It should be special and not watered down.  Heisman or in heisman talks.  The only guy that should get a legends jersey from this team is #16 based on all of the records he has broken/has the chance to break.  Plus he has been in talks for heisman 2 years straight with a year left on the field.

Tripp Welborne

Safety, 1989, 1990

Trip Welborne

Hard-hitting defensive back who also handled punt returns for the Wolverines. The Greensboro, NC., native was a two-time consensus All-American selection. Welborne recorded 238 tackles in his three years in the defensive secondary and returned 67 punts for 773 yards. During his senior year (1990), Welborne set a single-season record for punt return yardage with 455. Welborne moved from wide receiver to defensive back after his freshman year and intercepted nine passes during his career. Played on three Big Ten championship teams. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings.

He's a great player and a huge contributor but not anywhere near legend status.  Put him on a roster of Michigan greats and it's tough to include him.  Love Kovacs, just not a legend.

If Hoke doesn't mind giving it to a safety, then I think Dymonte Thomas will be the best overall defensive back within two or three years.  But if we're talking strictly about cornerbacks, Jourdan Lewis seems most likely.

Way too early to make any predictions for the 2013 class, or even the 2012 guys. I think we can now make a strong case that Countess can get it. If he has an all Big Ten year this year, which I think he will, he'll be wearing #2 come 2013.
