Nico Collins snaps last night?
So last night during the game I thought I saw Nico Collins coming off the field and then saw on Twitter Ace say that he was put in the game. Did any one notice if he played more then that one snap?
Wondering why at this point he was put in (doesn't make sense to just say they need to try someone else). Since Michigan doesn't have any elite recievers committed for the 2018 class I thought it would make sense to keep Nico and Oliver redshirted. Just another one of those curious things.
I didn't see this anywhere else on the board, so sorry if I missed it.

Good one, Vlad.

Of putting a kid in a game for a very few plays and then he doesn't see the field again for several weeks. Hold onto the redshirt else play him.

I feel like Nico could be out in 4 or less, but at the same time if you're not really going to play him this year then it would have been smarter to save it.
As for Karan its s bummer he got hit with injuries and put in early. I'm sure at the time these freshman are super excited about the opportunity to get in the game to see if they're going to make a difference, but its a bummer for them down the road when they could really use that 5th year.

Wheat did express some commentary which may fairly be interpreted in the negative. And of course we're gonna complain, we anticipated losses but always thought we'd be in the games until the finish. Moreover it's reasonable to expect improvement by most of our players as the season progresses but a case can be made quite a few of even our more senior players are stagnant else regressing in terms of their performance and grit. Our potential receivers don't seem to achieve separation and blocking is inconsistent or bad. Then consider penalties and turnovers and the staff should be held accountable for the lack of improvement, preparedness and sporadically bad play calling.

I seldom use the negative/down vote. I haven't negged anybody here in months or more. So whomever is out there negging away, I have no idea. Just know it's not me.

I believe that he is closer to the program then you are. He's just sharing some inside info with all of us.

Also made a TON of mistakes. Was in love with the Drake who was 4th on the depth chart, and got into it with Isaac and his father. Coach Wheatley also like I've said before did a great job recruiting Detroit, STOP! Walker was a gift, Harbaugh flipped Karon, and did not have enough juice to get Kelly. We are in on MANY of the top running backs for 18-20 MichiganMan14. Many. Sounds to me like other than already having Turner and Haskins we are in on Cain, Crouch and multiple others. Lastly, it's no secret coach Wheatley wants to and most likely will be a head coach in the next few years. How does that help Michigan develop prospects and evolvle as a staff?

A lot of players want to come to programs where they can play their freshman year. That is a huge draw for top recruits. Sometimes burning red shirts can actually help the long term recruiting prospects of programs, even if it appears to hurt the 4-year roster from a strategic point of view.

yeah, there are positives and negatives when trying to running your program similar to an nfl team - and weve seen both good and bad. harbaugh and crew have done some great stuff and while i think hes a talented coach, i realize certain aspects are likely to be sacrificed or slightly mismanaged in order for him to run his outfit

The only players that don't play 5 years are headed to the nfl. For the vast majority of players besides Rashan Gary, Peoples Jones, Solomon, Black etc. it makes sense to redshirt.

Because in 2021 it will really suck to lose guys who will playing better than the few snaps and special teams they play as freshmen. This is what happened with the 2013 class.

By a mile and then some. This has been a tough neighborhood of late.

Not too worried bout losing redshirts on receivers. There hasnt been a standout receiver on this team since Tarik Black went down. If Nico is ready to compete for playing time, that can only help this receiver corp.

out of frustration though
