These are going to be really interesting players to watch going forward, as their offer sheets are totally different relative to their rankings.

Uche: Florida, Auburn, Alabama, Miami, UNC, Miami and South Carolina. Also, Boston College (when Brown was there). I remember hearing an Interesting note about Uche...he didnt play football until late his sophomore season and his first full season was his junior year - so definetely some untapped potential there in terms of his development.

Mbem-Bosse: Oklahoma, Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tenneesee, and Auburn

what's the general consensus on Uche? under the radar kind of guy, or already reached ceiling? seems like he is better than his ranking?

If he commits to Michigan: "massive upside potential, looks like a potential 2nd rounder in 4 years, some of the best HS tape I've seen this year,  I've never seen a motor out of a guy like this who is not named Gary, Don Brown gem, Bama gonna be pissed they didn't offer, 3* of the south = 4* of the north."

If he commits elsehwere: "meh."

defintely late bloomer/under the radar type. he didn't play a full football season until his junior year. He fits perfectly in Brown's speed rusher/blitz scheme and was one of Brown's main targets once he got the job (he had offered him at BC as well). Also, I think his high school is one of the best teams in the highest level in the state in terms of competition level.

Per crystal ballz it looks like these 2 and Stewart are headed in and Nate Johnson and Johnathan Jones to ND.  Wonder if Stewart gets a shot at CB.

Yeah I already had him as an assumed

Going to be interesting which of these WRs move to the DBs as we are sorely lacking post 2016.  Esp as we lose momentum with Hill.  Hudson looks more like a S/"Peppers LB" type. Fuller seems headed to OSU.  So it would appear 2 of these WRs might end up at corner at least down the road.

in his highlights. He's tall, lanky arms, and needs to learn to use his shoulders and drive if he is going to make something of himself at a D1 powerhouse. Though, yes, I do trust the coaches, and I'm just stating an opinion based on his film.

Uche is listed at 6'1" or 6'2", so he's not tall. I wouldn't call him lanky, either, but I guess that's in the eye of the beholder... Also, I don't see the arm tackling thing, either. I mean, he does use his arms to tackle quarterbacks in the backfield, but that's necessary since QBs are usually running away from you and not toward you. It's one thing to arm tackle a RB when you meet him in the hole. It's another thing to arm tackle a QB as he's running for his life and you're chasing him from behind.
