as a true freshman for things to "work out in his favor", then we're just as well to be rid of him. Apparently he thought he could just throw his helmet on the field and everyone would acknowledge how great he was. As you say, not going to happen at this level, and certainly not with this coaching staff. |
| 5 days 11 hours ago | Damn, we got pantsed |
on running backs. We go ten years without landing an elite RB recruit, and USC lands TWO in the same week. That is a serious piece missing from a future NC team. |
| 2 weeks 2 days ago | Agreed.it seems like |
we've lost momentum, and that other teams are landing high level prospects and catching up to us. Not that we can expect everyone we want to make an early decision, but we don't seem to be at the top of anyone's serious list right now. |
| 4 weeks 4 days ago | One nice thing here |
is that other than the O-line, we will not have signficant losses anywhere after this season. Our graduations are pretty well spread out, and we won't take a big hit at any one position. Our young offensive linemen will have to progress well to keep that area solid, but we'll be better next year just about everywhere else (with QB maybe up in the air). |
| 11 weeks 1 day ago | Agree with the projections |
but think that a third TE in the same class would be a waste of a scholie, especially with so many other top recruits in the wings (more than we're likely to have room for-a nice problem). Of all the positions on the field, a TE recruit is probably the LEAST likely to have a large and immediate impact. I may be a little jaded because Michigan has so completely neglected the position in recent years, but it's also the case that we're not THAT stripped at TE as it is, especially if Williams pans out there, and with the position switch of Paskorz. If we're up to 23 slots, then maybe a third TE would make sense, but otherwise, I would much rather see us take another WR, DT, LB, CB or S before a TE. |
| 16 weeks 13 hours ago | Unfortunately, he's not on the list |
because he's that good. He's on the list becasue we're that bad at DT, thanks to Rodriguez. |

Any kind of preseason polls or predictions are a dicey proposition, but it's fun and everyone does it, so what the heck? It's one thing to look at how teams did this year, who they've got coming back, and their schedule, and pick 5 or 6 teams that have the best chance to make the NC game next season. But even if you're right about those 5 or 6, which two will actually make it to the final game is so much a matter of BCS politics and pure luck that it's impossible to make any kind of informed speculation. That said, Michigan is probably not quite ready to be one of those 5 or 6 teams yet. We have an erratic passer at QB, an undersized Oline that is thin on depth, and no real gamebreakers at WR. On defense, our back seven looks solid and fairly deep, but we lack top-notch speed. We have no proven talent at DT, and some experience, but nobody great at DE. Despite what someone posted here, we do not have "tons of talent". Nobody on the roster projects as a top NFL draft pick in 2013. Very tough to win at a MC level without elite talent. |

Based on the OSU game alone (losing by 3 on the road to the #1 team, we probably deserved to stay at #2, but when the end of season maneuvering for the NC game spots starts, the voters start to look at the whole season, and we had way too many unimpressive wins in 2006, (including an 8 point squeaker against Ball State and 5 Big Ten wins by 14 points or less) and no really impressive wins against strong teams. That's what let Florida leapfrog us.
If Carr hadn't taken his foot off the gas in so many games, we might have gotten our own rematch. |

Any writer who starts by saying that Team X "deserved" to be in Bowl Z is quite simply clueless. Bowls are not, and have never been, about rewarding teams for a good season. They are about generating money and prestige for the bowl organizers. Period. |

If Hart had had Johnson's wheels, he'd have won a Heisman. With as strong a recruiting class as this looks to be, we can probably afford to take a gamble on someone, and if you're going to do that, go with speed. |
