247 Article On MICHIGAN 2017 DE Targets

Submitted by MaizeMN on

Interesting article on 247Sports about UM's 2017 DE targets. Malone-Hatcher may be the most likely, but future All-Name 4* Luiji Vilain has got to be a sentimental favorite. Worth a read on a lazy Sunday. Link?

Alum96 would surely know better but DE seems like one of the lowest position needs for us in 2017, whereas interior linemen might be the biggest need, other than offensive tackle.

since several days ago when I realized he hadn't posted in a few weeks. Looking now, it's been 4 weeks 2 days he's been MIA. Really missing the quality OPs he's known for. I've occasionally noticed when other regular high-frequency comtributors/MGoUsers have turned up missing. For instance, 'ShruteBeetFarms' took some time off last year but it turned out that he had posted ahead of time his intentions and reason for absence and has since returned. We were only left wondering WHEN rather than IF on his return. I also noticed the absence a couple months ago of 'EvenYouBrutus' (who has also since returned). Never saw anything about his absence and it did leave me briefly wondering what happened. (edit: speaking of that devil, there's evenyoubrutus now!) :-) But being that there's such a huge # of users on the MGoBoard, I suppose 99% of absences go unnoticed. Such is the nature of the anonymity of the interwebs, I guess.

I hate those click-bait photo montage stories, the ones that usually have a headline like, "The 20 Celebrities Most Likely to Masturbate on a Goat." No offense to you, OP, but that was 247Sports slowly becoming Answers.com...

All I will say about that article is that I was very surprised to see Gary Busey AND Mickey Rourke on that list together. Separately, it might have made more sense, or if they were together on "Top 20 Celebrities Most Given To WTF Moments". I do agree on photo montage articles though - it's hard to fathom them quite honestly. As for this article, five wasn't too terrible, but still, point taken.

Slightly worried about DL recruiting. We lose a lot and only signed 3 last year.

Yes, I know this unfounded because Harbaugh. But still.

We have the following Fr or RS Fr DL this year:

 

2016

Gary 5* DT/DE

R. Johnson 4* DE

Kemp 4* DE/LB

Uche 3* DE

Dwumfour 3* DT

Onwenu(?) 4* OG/DT

2015

S. Johnson 3* DE

Jones 3* DE

Mone RS Soph, Hurst and Winovich are only a RS juniors. There's also Marshall RS Soph and a potential for a couple of other guys from position changes (Pallante...). I'd say that we are pretty solid at DL through 2017, not like we can't pull talented recruits.

I'm not too worried about WDE. This staff turned Ojemudia and RJS into viable pass rushers, when they didn't have a big impact beforehand. Someone will emerge to spell Taco when he departs.
