Just wondering in the eyes of the mgousers, which WR you would rather have in this years class? I understand that taking both is a possibility, but with the likelihood of Michigan leading for both, which would you take over the other?
Payton has been considered ovrrated by some, but still looks like a solid possession reciever, while Darboh seems to be the "big-play threat" type of player. Rivals and Scout ratings seem to prefer Payton to Darboh, but they're both consensus four stars.
Thoughts?

I would like to take Diggs, but it seems like he is a long shot right now. There are rumors about him not being able to qualify. I don't think we can take the chance because we are thin and we need the bodies on campus.

Diggs
I would really like our coaching staff to do anything the can (within the rules of course) to get him to come on an official. Then, leave a spot open until signing day. We shouldn't accept a commit from him if he isn't going to qualify, but if he does qualify and we didn't get him on campus to give us a chance in his recruitment, I will be disappointed.

That is really different from what I heard early in the process. Some ND people were saying that he was a ND lean early on. What changed? Did Kelly's sideline antics change how Darboh's parents viewed the ND program?

As players, I like Darboh
As players, I like Darboh better. He's a more explosive player.
Payton is bulkier and more physical, so I think they compliment each other well. Darboh and Payton are kind of like Stonum and Hemingway as players. I tend to like the explosive athlete better, but both would (will?) add a lot.
Now that we're playing "would you rather", ...
Would you rather have a dragon or be a dragon?

I can only imagine the comments I would get from megangoblue on my new scaly skin.
Go Blue!
It depends.
If my dragon obeys me, doesn't kill my family or pets, and will take me anywhere anytime, then I would much rather have a dragon. Being a dragon would be fun for a little while, until the government caged you and tried to harness your power for evil.
This sounds like a question
BlueDragon should chime in on...

Both, but to me Payton is more like a Hemingway/Avant kind of player, possession receiver with good hands and good presence and Darboh is more like a Stonum kind of player (elusive and fast) and since Stonum should come back next year I'd rather have a good possession receiver to replace Junior, Roundtree doesn't fill his mold either, then again, I'm greedy and I want both.

Both! But if I were to pick one, for our current WR situation, it'd be Payton. He appears more game ready and we need contributions from our WRs right away. If this were three years from now after we've established a stable pipeline of WRs for our current system, then I'd go with Darboh.
I really hope we get both of them this year and then extend a signing day offer to Treadwell!

The more I follow recruiting,
The more I follow recruiting, the less I believe in out-of-state pipelines. Michigan got in with Pahokee for a couple years, but it was short-lived and Rodriguez didn't really come close with any Pahokee kids for 2011 before he was fired. Other than Pahokee, it seems like "pipelines" consist of a couple players, max. If Darboh's the better player and he happens to come from Iowa, then I'm not sure Payton + 1 unnamed player > Darboh in the long run.
The real pipelines appear to come from in-state schools (Glenville for OSU, Cass Tech for Michigan, Ingham County Jail for MSU, etc.). Outside of the home state, it's kind of a crapshoot.
Ha ha...under the old points system,
"Ingham County Jail" would have been worth about 20 MGPs.

qualifying
While it's a give that if you can't get into college...go to state, how does a player like Burbridge qualify for msu and not Michigan? Is it the type of situation where msu is willing to take a larger risk that he will qualify for the ncaa, or Michigan standards for qualifying are just that far above our little brother?
I know the sites have made distinctions between them but they don't seem like very different players to me, they have pretty similar skill sets. Either one (or both) would be awesome to have come to Michigan.
