That makes sense. I do recall something from Borges along those lines. That being said, what do you see Hayes' role being both this year and beyond. Perhaps a return specialist, with spot duty as a change of pace back in certain sets? |

Just curious why, when we talk about the RB position on this board, there is not more discussion of Justice Hayes. When he was being recruited, I recall him being considered a top prospect who generated a huge amount of excitement around here. But, when we talk about our RBs, he is mentioned as a toss-in by most. Re: Magnus' point above about not just getting clone of the same player and needing diversification, I agree. Obviously Rawls, Shallman and Smith are the "big backs." I don't mention Hopkins because he looks to have locked down the FB spot well. But, we do have some smaller, "make people miss" backs on the roster in Hayes and Norfleet. Why is it assumed that neither of these guys can be every down backs? |

I have no words for that, other than, "wow." |

I hope that you left off the /s at the bottom of your email. Otherwise, it is just a seriously obnoxious post that has no place here. |

1. I disagree with those who said Tom Brady. Watching him, you could tell that he had all of the tools to be an NFL QB, and perhaps a very good one. So, I would have to say Breaston - didn;t see the level of success that he has had. honorable mention to Griese. 2. I have three: (1) Braylon - dude has insane NFL skills, a 6-2 frame and the ability to leap tall mountains and high point the ball. How is he not one of the top receivers in the game? (Answer: He keeps shooting him career in the foot with stupidity); (2) Henne - Big time arm, good accuracy, tall big guy - I thought he had all of the tools to succeed, but he looks destined to be a career back-up; (3) All U-M running backs since I started really following (1994): Wheatley, Toughdown Tim, A Train, Perry, and even Hart. Funny thing is that while most had very little NFL hope for Hart, in the few games that he played, he played really well. |
| 4 weeks 1 day ago | Fab 5 |
It really does seem like C Web is the hold up. Of the Fab 5, he is the only one who the NCAA was involved in the commission of an infraction. The other MBB players came layer. If C Web issues some sort of apology and maybe offers to do some work with the NCAA compliance unit (perhaps volunteering for a program for student athletes warning of the dangers of boosters, agents, etc.), I think that DB would gladly welcome the Fab 5 back to Michigan. This needs to happen next year. While I was still in high school in NY at the time, for anyone who followed sports, the Fab 5 was a special phenomenon. Forget about the wins and the way that they changed the manner in which college BB was played, but the hype surrounding them was just awesome. |

Since this is not 1970 anymore where there are only a handful of elite football teams. I have as much Michigan pride as any, and I like to believe that "this is Michigan fergodsakes" is enough. And to some extent, it is. But in todays world, there are a large number of teams that are considered the "hot" team and those teams are competing with us for recruits year in and year out. We need to be in on these made for TV games that ESPN, in the name of self interest, will promote to holy hell, as that keeps us even more relevant in the eyes of recruits and future fans. Something else to keep in mind: For kids coming up in, say, the class of 2014, the last time that we were relevant on the national landscape was in 2006, when those kids were still in elementary school. For many that are not from the midwest, they only know Michigan as that school with the Big Stadium that had the whole RR-drama and that routinely loses to OSU. Obviously, last year went a long wat to changing that, but we can't expect to go 11-2 every year (and, with our schedule, even this coming year), so games like this are necessary to keep us relevant. |
