Kozan who?

Best to forget about Kozan, I don't think he even knows where he's going.
February 25th, 2012 at 9:47 PM ^
February 25th, 2012 at 9:46 PM ^
I think if Tunsil or Pocic come knocking we snap take either one.....other than that I think we are sitting pretty pretty good

I agree that bringing in more guys than positions creates an odd situation (you pretty much know that half the guys in the group won't ever get a chance to start) but I don't know that it prevents you from landing commits. Stanford had 4 linemen in the fold (three 4-stars) and was still able to add Garnett late and two 5-stars on signing day. Who knows if taking that many guys at one position will end up being good business, but cold feet didn't seem to be an issue.
I'm guessing (much like with kids admitted to law school all thinking they will finish in the top 25% of their class) that most recruits think they will end up playing no matter how many other players are in the fold. Or at least they can be talked into thinking that way.

It's like people didn't even watch the Sugar Bowl. Molk goes down, Khoury gets nervous. Since the next guy in the depth chart was Miller, a true freshman, we end up playing Molk for the game despite the fact he only has one good leg.
No C in 2012 means a depth chart of two for awhile. One injury or one guy not developing then means a problem.
February 26th, 2012 at 5:19 PM ^
Kalis or Magnuson could play center if we needed them to. Their taller than would be ideal, but they would do fine.

The coaches were clearly prepared to take 6-7 guys in the 2012 class but ended up with only 4 (so far). After next season we lose at least 4 offensive linemen to graduation (Lewan will definitely get NFL interest as well).
Just to tread water we need to take 4-5 and Coach Hoke has talked about wanting to lift the overall numbers to 14-16 (we'll have 12 in 2012). Considering the offers that are still out there, I'm pretty sure we'd take one or two more blue-chip guys if they wanted to commit.
February 25th, 2012 at 9:50 PM ^
We can flip Diggs or DGB? I also wonder if Reeves, Elmer, Wright, or Kiel want to come on board?

UHHHHH a little late to the show . . . . we are still trying to flip Elmer per Sam Webb.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:18 PM ^
February 25th, 2012 at 10:21 PM ^
Elmer's dad has subsequently put the kibosh on any chance of flipping. But who knows.
February 25th, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
We're just one "Brian Kelly meltdown on TV causing him to get suspended or fired" away from pouching Elmer.
Hey, it could happen.
February 25th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
through my sources, that kozan is going over his offers in an undisclosed location while having a tea party with his Teddy bear companion "Fred."
February 25th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
At this point, do we really WANT Kozan? The commits that we are getting are great, in part, because they WANT to be Michigan Men. It seems to me that if Kozan really WANTED to be a Michigan Man that he would have committed to us shortly after not sending in his LOI to Iowa. Even if he decided tomorrow that he wanted to become a Wolverine, I don't know how I would feel about that. Is his heart going to be in it? Is he really going to buy into the team, or is he going to leave after a year if he isn't getting playing time?
I hate to say that I don't WANT a highly ranked prospect, but I am leaning towards saying I would prefer that he DIDN'T come to play here.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:06 PM ^
Totally agree. Even before the OL avalanche of the last week, I was thinking that I would not be to excited if I heard that Kozan had picked Michigan. Now, it's like who cares?
The only situation I can see being excited about having him is if his delay has been due to some kind of disagreement with his parents... like, he wanted Michigan all along, but they wanted Iowa. Otherwise, his prolonged indecision is nothing but concerning. And yes, he's only a kid, cut him some slack... but being a kid didn't stop hundreds of other 2012 recruits from making a decision.
February 25th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
Diggs?

Prefer we stick to 5 in this class and spread out the OL depth. Take another 4 guys in 2014, and another 4 in 2015. With some attrition and maybe a successful walk-on that should put us in the 15-16 range.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:21 PM ^
February 26th, 2012 at 3:18 PM ^
Kozan still has three months if someone is willing to wait that long.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
I thought we were all opperating on RDT's theory that Kozan is actually the Lindbergh Baby? That Kozan isn't going to school, because then they'd find out he's actually 107 years old.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:37 PM ^
I dare someone to prove me wrong.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:44 PM ^
You're wrong.
February 25th, 2012 at 11:09 PM ^
To prove me wrong, you'd have to get in contact with Alex Kozan. No one can get in touch with him. Coincidence? I think not.
February 25th, 2012 at 11:06 PM ^
February 25th, 2012 at 10:41 PM ^
Did someone mention a vision quest?
February 26th, 2012 at 2:18 AM ^
we have the greatest wrestling movie ever showing up on the board. Thank you sir for this it made my day.
February 26th, 2012 at 11:45 AM ^
We opened up three buttons, but all we saw was desert trash
February 25th, 2012 at 10:49 PM ^
Don't be ridiculous...
February 25th, 2012 at 10:50 PM ^
We shouldn't, at this point, count on or even think about Kozan. If we had that in mind, we would take another this year, but I'm not sure if they even want one.
February 25th, 2012 at 11:27 PM ^
Has anyone filed a missing persons report on him yet?
February 26th, 2012 at 12:34 AM ^
Reggie Bush do you insiders think we take another RB this year? I really think it is between U of M and USC IMO.
