48 weeks 4 days ago	I think gholston is a very good,	probably a second team all-conference player. However, I'm not seeing the top 10 pick people(a lot of which are michigan fans) are refering to. He looks very, very stout in the run game, and he's hard to move. But I'm not seeing the explosion in the pass rush though. And that's a requirement to be such a high pick. Reminds me a lot of Nick Perry. Where you're just searching for that explosion and not finding it anywhere. A lot of their sacks come from high motor plays (which is fine but it also doesn't make you a top ten pick). And if you watch the Taylor vs. Gholston tape, you are seeing where that lack of explosion against an nfl-cabiler left tackle is so tough to overcome.
1 year 2 days ago	But wilkins is different	than the other backs we have committed. Sure he may be a big back but he also is much more explosive and agile than the other two. Not trying to rip on the other two, but Wilkins does bring a different skill set to the table. Not all big backs come in the same package.
1 year 2 days ago	Yea need is a probably too strong.	But like you said adding some explosion to the running back is probably what we are looking for. You're not a huge fan of green, magnus?
1 year 2 days ago	1.I'm probably in the minority	here, but I do feel we need another running back. Smith looks pretty solid himself however I  believe we need that explosive game-changing running back (and keep in mind I'm talking in the context of a team with a realistic shot at winning a national championship). Both the 2012 and 2013 defensive classes look very very good so I'm completely ok giving another slot to offense. 2. I'm not sure if Green or Wilkins is our next option. Green's measurables are very impressive and so is his offer sheet although I wasn't as impressed with his film as I thought I would. 3. Yea, what neoavtara said. 4. I just watched his highlights (albiet a quick 3 minutes), and was very impressed. Looks like a fairly big back with really good agility. Reminded me a little bit of Ronnie Brown at Auburn.
1 year 2 weeks ago	after reading that article	it will hurt even more if we lose him. Sounds like a real intelligent kid and certainly appears to be doing his homework on his decision.
1 year 8 weeks ago	Well I think	you sorta answered your own question as far as Hardaway at the 2 goes. To be a slasher you're gonna need a dribble-drive and man just not Tim's game. I sure there are people who know the specifics of Beilin's more than I do. Dylan at umhoops is pretty convinced that Tim won't be able to play the 2 next season but we'll see.
1 year 8 weeks ago	I'm just not seeing	Tim Hardaway Jr. at the 2. I don't see his dribbling as solid enough. And I know that John Bielin's runs his offenes through the 3 a lot (although to be fair Burke made that different this year). I'm thinking the lineup looks like: PG-Burke/Brundidge SG-Vogrich or Stauskus/loser between that battle (I know everybody is automatically going to assume Stauskus would win that battle but I'm not so sure. Vogrich's defense has gotten better every year and he may be able to provide some leadership.) SF-Hardaway/Robinson PF-Smot/McGary Maybe even Robinson gets some minutes at the 4 C-McGary/Morgan/Horford I know that you would probably like to find a way to get some more minutes from Robinson if he is as good as I think he is, but this is a lineup where you don't need to manipulate anyone into another position (ie Hardaway to two). There is a few things you have to like about next year's lineup whatever it is. The obvious being the added athleticism from the freshman. But you also have a lot of players with potential for growth. Hardaway could add some consistently, Smot could establish his shooting touch throughout the entire season. Brundidge who I thought had a lot of talent coming in could took a step foward. And I also don't see a way where we don't have less depth. I think bottom line for next season is that there are a lot of things that can happen to make us a better team. Of course not of all them will, but it's hard to see a way where we won't be a better team despite the loss of leadership.
1 year 16 weeks ago	Maybe analysts will STFU about	us not winning on the road and stop using their sample size of 4 games to extrapolate this over the entire season.
1 year 20 weeks ago	Congrats to Drew Brees.	Extremely classy guy, and I'm happy for him. However, I do think this shows how increbible that 84 season was for Marino. Brees had to throw about 55 more times with rules much more advantegous to the passing game to break the record. If you really stop to think it about, it only makes that 84 season that much more impressive.
1 year 22 weeks ago	what an end to the half...	just turned a blowout into a tie game with a dangerous team. That was a really bad last 6 or 7 minutes.
1 year 22 weeks ago	that was a fantastic	should have been assist from burke...gotta finish there morgan
1 year 22 weeks ago	yea doing some	self-marking on the bench, ass hole. Gotta a problem?

1 year 22 weeks ago	Give Zack Novak some	credit for developing that mid-range jumper this year. Not only is he very efficient with it, it also gives me some room on the perimeter. Really has made himself a much better offensive player this year. Gonna miss him next year.
1 year 25 weeks ago	Out of our control...	We just got our best win since 2006 penn state, and have a legitimate shot at a bcs bowl in a season which few would have predicted it. Enjoy it.
1 year 25 weeks ago	If USC wins tonight how much does	that increase how bcs's chances? I agree with one of the above posters: I'm not so sure Luck is better than Barkley. And that's not meant as a knock on Luck.
1 year 26 weeks ago	I do what i can...	In all seriousness, this blog really is the shit. Brain and ace do a great job. And of course, many great contributions from the users. I go to the wolverine quite often. Although it has some good stuff too, the forum here is much more conservational and has better content than theirs.
1 year 26 weeks ago	Related question: Can the game be moved	to 3:30 this late?
1 year 26 weeks ago	Refs in Msu game are starting to piss me	off...that holding on gholston was really weak  and so was the one on the big kick return
1 year 27 weeks ago	Yep...good point	Next year may be esp. frustating because we may very well be a better team with a worse record. This isn't an excuse for this coaching staff but really I'm not going to be too upset with them their first two season. I mean what 95% of the guys playing out there today were Richrod's players. It's kinda of hard to judge a staff without at least seeing their first class as juniors. And the playcalling isn't what is holding this offense back. People talk all this crap about how we were a top 10 offense last year. What happened we played osu,wisconsin, or msu? Yeah that's not a top 10 offense. We have an offensive line that opens up little to no holes against quality opponents. We have two quarterbacks who don't read the field very well, and one who struggles with any throw over 20 yards. And on top of all that we have slot ninjas playing outside.
1 year 28 weeks ago	well that was slightly	disappointing...
1 year 28 weeks ago	I'm a little bit surprised	Morgan didn't score higher. I thought he really turned a corner last week. I guess it's the coverage that is holding him back. That being said I really think he has a bright future. I think the same can be said for quite a few other defensive freshmen (countless, clark, beyer, taylor). Although we don't want to see that many freshman playing, it is nice to see them stepping up to the plate, and also makes the future of this defense look very promising.
1 year 28 weeks ago	I had mixed feelings about Frank Clark.	It seemed like everytime (which seemed like a lot) he got to the quarterback, he couldn't finish the sack. The one rollout (I think it was a third down around midfield in the 4th quarter) he really got juked out bad by the purdue quarterback. And it's not like the guy he was playing Denard Robinson or Jarrod Wilson. Just needs to finish. Desmond Morgan was the one who I thought turned a corner. He really looked like he belonged out there. Even made a real nice hit on special teams too. Me and my buddy have kept saying how he might be something special in two years. After today, I think it might be earlier than expected.
1 year 30 weeks ago	Our star defensive	lineman who is supposed to be a 2nd round pick is playing like that against THAT offensive line. That's unacceptable. I liked Martin's press conference after saying he knows that this isn't the type of team that will crumble like we have of recently, but after looking at his performance it's pretty clear that it all starts with him. If we have one of our few proven stars on this team playing like that, then we may very well be on our way to another 7-5 or 8-4 season. I may be negged for this post, but the only reason I complain is because I truly expect much more from him. Our defense didn't lose this game, but giving up 150+ to Baker is a big concern of mine.
1 year 30 weeks ago	Although your probably	right, I don't see how anyone could argue that the next twist should at least be a three-game suspension. The risk of injury on that play is so high. And the big thing to me is it wasn't in the heat of moment. That really makes you wonder why isn't this going to occur again. Personal fouls that are during fights or during plays are if not understandable, at least explainable. This one was not even close to such cases.
1 year 30 weeks ago	I was at the game as	well, and like yourself didn't see the play till just now. This isn't even about the game anymore. It's not complaining, this is a legitimate concern about the safety of the players. WIlliam Gholston should be suspensed for the rest of the season. It wasn't that the play was dirty. The play was balant. And it wasn't like he was in the heat of the moment in a fight with an opposing player. After the whistle with an offensive player lying on the ground. Considering the circumstances, one of the dirtiest play I will ever see.

1 year 32 weeks ago	Because I'm sure there	are no fans that actually believe the patriots will make the super bowl this year...
1 year 32 weeks ago	What makes you think the patriots will	get there, let alone the lions? We're talking about a team that has won zero playoffs games the past two season after good regular seasons. They have got flat out dominated in those two games. That ravens game two years may have be one of the most dominating performances I've seen in a while. It's pretty clear that Brady hides so many flaws of that team. When they play more talented like the Jets or Ravens in the postseason, the team has gotten exposed. I know somebody will bring up the super bowls they won nearly a decade ago to counter what I said. Which has no relevence on the team they bring to the postseaon now.
1 year 42 weeks ago	When you say a good one Tom	do you mean a wideout or just a commit in general?
