After watching him play this past weekend it is understandable why the coaches may have cooled on him as a CB. We are looking for a true cover CB and not a project there, he just looked like he was out of place on many of the plays. Unfortunate as it may be I wish him the best where ever he ends up.

This is a bit strange.  If he is a project, let's get him in and there can a discussion with him on his future position.  Give it a chance, and wait and see.  Bosco puts out some prospects, and we are recruiting guys for next year.  This has to hurt that.

Without intimate details of what goes on behind the scenes, the recruitment of Yuri Wright seem to be the most perplexing to me.  Here's a guy who claims to be a lifelong Wolverine fan, hasn't committed to anyone, is highly rated, has an offer for a position of constant need, and yet...........nothin.  I don't get it.

This may be an indication of how the coaches feel about Armani Reeves, but I think it's also an indication of Michigan's thoughts on Wright as a project and as an individual.  Wright has some baggage/character questions.

He has a speech impediment.  That's not what I'm talking about, nor should it be a concern or a point of emphasis.  I know some stupid people who speak just fine, and I know some smart people who stutter.

I expect a couple of names to pop up here shortly that will be new to the recruiting scene for this years class.

 Very true, I am sure a name unknown to us will pop up and remember the **** system is any thing but perfect for predicting a recruit's success at the next level. The optimist in me says it is because they want to use that offer on Demar Dorsey, but he is a safety so that doesn't work.

The point is it's not absurd for news entities (even ones whose "news" is where 18 year old kids are going to play football) to expect at least a short window where they're allowed to reap the benefits of their work.
