Most DBs in this recruiting class will probably redshirt.
An immediate need is to cover slot receivers better, and this guy can help. Our current safeties cannot cover slots consistently.

Is Harbaugh trying to hire one of his parents? Otherwise, I don't get this move.

Classically...yes, you are correct. Typically this dynamic works in the other direction, to secure the kid.
However, given how little Michigan needed Wayne Lyons (and this post doesn't even need to emphasize how little Wayne played; it needs only emphasize how stacked that position group was before he arrived), one would be justified to argue that Michigan welcomed Wayne Lyons primarily to secure his mother - Gwen Bush - for a much more important position.

Was thinking a VIPER type linebacker, but your point is a good one.

At first glance your username looked like umichjerks--I was about to type "Username checks out!" But I see that's an "n" not an "r". I just wanted you to know that.

We may have 5 DBs on the roster, but Casey Hughes is the first that is driving that train, high on cocaine...

We still have at least 2 spots available according to the best estimates that I have read. I am sure they are hoping that will be Patterson + either NPF or Calvin Anderson.
We took this guy because Don Brown had some concerns about his safety depth (you can't count on freshmen stepping up) and the coverage skills of the existing players.
January 21st, 2018 at 5:48 PM ^
You say 2 spots left and you want 2 OTs (plus the 1 or 2 already commtted). What about OGs and DTs? I'd say the 2 DBs who were offered Scholarships today is relevant to filling obvious positions of need.
January 21st, 2018 at 6:31 PM ^
DT was a luxury in this class in all honesty, then in the next class you already have chris hinton committed. In this class it would have been nice to add a guy like rick sandidge or mike thompson but they didnt get them, and compound that with the fact that tyler friday went to the arch enemy after recruiting him for approx. 3 years it just seems worse. guard seems to be set with the last couple classes and the position switches , that not taking one in this class would not be the worst problem that the class faces.

Essentially you only lose 1/5th of a scholarship player by grabbing a grad transfer for one year. You also have the benefit of seeing their performance for 4 years (so hopefully you know what you are getting), and, if you are offering hopefully they are trained up and mostly plug and play.
Also grad transfers are often really trying to get into the NFL so extra motivated for that last year.
January 22nd, 2018 at 8:38 AM ^
or they're just trying to get playing time somewhere that they weren't seeing at the school they're transferring from.
