Forever would seem to be the obvious response.

Well if you can't find sushi in A2 then I guess you just aren't that smart.  Zing!

You are all forgetting about Justin Fargus who played at UM but later transferred to USC.  He was the #1 back in the nation.

For the record, I guess I am one of the few that actually appreciate your evaluations, especially for linemen and their technique.  It appears to me that many sites simply look at measurables and "production" but really don't explain the strenghts and weaknesses of the technique.  And it's reasonable that many players have both as lineman are often difficult to project.  Keep up the good work.

Personally I like Iowa's with the boots although IU's helmet would be #1 no question.

Dats is clearly a better player since he has a 93 rating and Giroux is a 90.  Boom! /EASports'd

If you don't have Datsyuk as one of your top 5 players then I just don't know what to tell you.

A poll among NHL players during the season showed Dats as #1 in several categories.

I have played organized sports and still I am plenty upset about this.  Why?  Because it wasn't a rough play in the course of the game.  It was a play after the whistle and was not a play at all.  It was a clear intent to injure that didn't relate to the play.  It also was a chicken shit cowardly play by Weber on a smaller player from behind.  The punch I can deal with.  You want to know the reason why you never seen "plays" like Weber's?  Because it wasn't a play at all.  I expect the league to suspend players for dirty plays that are not hockey plays.  If not, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with Holmer taking a two hander to the back of Weber's knee, right?

I suppose you wondered why Dale Hunter was suspended for 21 games after his antics on Turgeon.  Big mystery, huh?

Great news and I think it's a good decision for Trey.  I hope that UM has a memorable season and that Burke's stock rises in the process.

Here is the way I like to look at it.

Replace Novak with GRIII.  Talent upgrade but grit and experience down, maybe a wash assuming that GRIII plays significant minutes.  

Replace Stu with Staukas, same deal, maybe a wash.  

Replace Evan with MM, gain talent and rebounding but lose outside shooting, probably a wash.

So that's even and then you assume that existing players such as Burke, THJr., morgan improve a bit.  

This leads me to conclude that Michigan will be better but not way better and that is assuming Burke stays.  My feeling is that being ranked 10-15 is probably appropriate.
