Depth chart by class help
I've taken the liberty of updating the depth chart by class. I've erased the seniors and moved kids into their correct classes for next year. Here's where I need help. I'm not 100 percent sure on all of this years freshman. Here's what I've done:
No redshirt, moved to sophomore class:
January 4th, 2018 at 11:16 AM ^
I thought Vilain was burned, maybe he wasn't out there after the non-con schedule, can't remember.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:20 AM ^
I believe it was not burned. In fact, I think he didnt see a single snap for the entire season. Pretty sure he was injured coming out of fall camp.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:20 AM ^
don't think he played at all. injured
January 4th, 2018 at 11:21 AM ^
That was the only thing that stood out to me as well
January 4th, 2018 at 11:18 AM ^
Only comments
- Ruiz should probably be bolded as a starter
- Dwumfour is probably more of a 3T than a NT
January 4th, 2018 at 11:24 AM ^
Yea, Dwumfour is a 3T. He's like Mo Hurst but more sudden. /fredjackson'd
January 4th, 2018 at 11:45 AM ^
Both should be listed as centers. I'll be interested to see what they do with the center spot next season. Ruiz can obviously play there and did in high school, but they went with Spanellis as Kugler's backup. Ruiz and Onwenu make for a very imposing set of pulling guards. It's possible they wanted Ruiz to focus on learning the guard position only, and now that they have a full off-season, he'll move back to center. But this from Spanellis' bio screams center to me:
• Recipient of the 2017 Top GPA team award
• Recipient of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame High School Scholar-Athlete Award; given to five players nationally that excelled on the field, in the classroom and in their community
He is 6'6", 335 pounds. That's about the same size as JBB. I suppose they could slot him at RT.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:20 AM ^
You're missing WR Oliver Martin. He should be in the redshirt section.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:30 AM ^
Good catch!
January 4th, 2018 at 5:26 PM ^
I see what you did there
January 4th, 2018 at 11:34 AM ^
Also missing Eubanks who probably was a RS as well after his injury.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:38 AM ^
Eubanks was a part of the 2016 class; this was his 2nd year on campus
January 4th, 2018 at 11:53 AM ^
Forgot to include him in this post, but I had him in redshirt section of the chart
January 4th, 2018 at 11:21 AM ^
Heads to depth chart by class that has already been updated.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:26 AM ^
It was my reading of the OPs post that he was saying that it was him who did the updating, and wanted to check certain details with the community...
January 4th, 2018 at 11:28 AM ^
That he isn’t a Mod of the site and that Brian or one of the other mods updates that. Shea Patterson is already listed as a Junior.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:32 AM ^
I'm not a mod and I can go click Edit and add anything I want.
You can also click on Revisions and see that this OP has been updating it all morning.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
Neg away. Seems like a horrible idea to leave that open to edit by anyone on the site. Either way, I’ll take the punishment.
January 4th, 2018 at 12:36 PM ^
I don't disagree with your point, but I hope you'll agree that your original snark at the OP was unwarranted?
January 4th, 2018 at 1:03 PM ^
And while I don’t regret my snark or sarcastic wit. This time I was hoisted by my own petard and rightfully so. So while I am not sorry, I can admit that I was wrong for assuming what I assumed.
January 4th, 2018 at 1:19 PM ^
Not everyone on the site can edit it. Previous information in the header section used to say that it was only "editable by anyone with 500 points", but this information has been removed. The edit tab doesn't show up for me.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:31 AM ^
Not to open a great feature of the site up to abuse, but try the edit tab at the top of the "Depth Chart by Class" page for yourself. Works for me, and I'm certainly no mod...
January 4th, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
Brian has just reverted the chart to its 12/31 state, so the updates are moot.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:51 AM ^
Actually, I’d say I do about 80 percent of the updating on that chart myself and the rest of the community chips in when they beat me to the updates
January 4th, 2018 at 11:29 AM ^
True enough. But at least it's not an MSU troll pasting another "Harbaugh to NFL??" article from espn.com. If we're gonna regurgitate, let's at least talk about tangible stuff.
January 4th, 2018 at 1:19 PM ^
Reading is hard.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:26 AM ^
I thought he was going to redshirt. I'm not saying you're wrong
January 4th, 2018 at 11:30 AM ^
Didn't he get some PT against OSU? Or was that only a rumor?
January 4th, 2018 at 11:32 AM ^
Michigan's official site has him playing most of the games this season, including Maryland on Nov 11. His redshirt is burned.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:34 AM ^
I don't know about OSU, but I guess he did play some special teams
January 4th, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
I think he played quite a bit on special teams.
January 4th, 2018 at 12:55 PM ^
He was on the field for literally every kick return this season.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:31 AM ^
That feels like one of the largest redshirt groups we've had in a long time. Could be totally wrong on that, but feels nice to start to build some depth again. Especially since a lot of those are along the lines.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:32 AM ^
That’s a good looking young roster!
January 4th, 2018 at 11:37 AM ^
nice job
January 4th, 2018 at 11:44 AM ^
That the cupboard is definitely not bare......now let's coach 'em up.
Not an expert but still not liking the smell of potentially hiring Enos. He left my Chips in a bit of a dumpster fire state......we are still not back to the level I'd hope we would be at.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:59 AM ^
While losing Mo Hurst and McCray will hurt, you have to like
January 4th, 2018 at 12:05 PM ^
Is an edge rusher, will not be inside.
January 4th, 2018 at 12:10 PM ^
Since you're listing options, Newsome is a possibililty at tackle as well. I agree though it doesn't look good since he can't even get clearance to practice.
But I totally agree with you that Hurst/McCray are losses, but we have a lot more talent coming up behind them in quality and quantity and depth is going to be a real benefit.
That would have helped us this year considering how much the O left them on the field
January 4th, 2018 at 12:55 PM ^
Think it was umbig11 that said JBB might not be back and was one to keep an eye on. Since he's a 5th year guy, not sure if that means a firm handshake, or a transfer.
But based off of nothing but a guess, I think Stueber and Hudson are the tackles.
January 4th, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
That's my guess too unless Newsome is ready, which keeps looking increasingly unlikely.
I think the inside is a question too. I could see it being the more predictable Bradeson/Ruiz/Onwenu, but I could also see it being Onwenu/Spanallis/Ruiz (or flip the guards) with Bradeson the line's sixth man.
Hopefully Bradeson will make a big jump going into his third year starting and end that question
January 4th, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
My gut says Ross will replace McCray.
January 4th, 2018 at 12:04 PM ^
This isn't going to go over well with the "unacceptable" crowd, but look at the offensive side and notice you really don't have any impact seniors again on offense.
January 4th, 2018 at 12:07 PM ^
Thanks for the updates!
My questions:
Woods started the bowl game... So technically a returning starter?
Was Mone a starter, or just in the rotation?
January 4th, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
I wonder if ambry could play safety? Kid seems to be a ball hawk.
January 4th, 2018 at 12:33 PM ^
While I like what I have seen out of Ambry, I suspect he is quite a bit too small to play safety.
January 4th, 2018 at 1:08 PM ^
... I assume you mean "skinny." Fair point. He seems like a guy who's going to be pushing to get on the field though and we could sure use better coverage help at safety. So many of the times the secondary got burned this year was the safties
January 4th, 2018 at 1:07 PM ^
I believe that Wroblewski has exhausted his elibigility.

Solomon is already ahead of Mone. No way Gil is starting at linebacker. Not sold that Furbush is coming back.
