Maybe, but ESPN hadn't rated him yet, so it's not like they increased his rating just because he committed to Michigan. And Steuber seems like a prospect on the rise (with strong camp performances, recent offers, good weight change, etc.), so you'd expect a site that rates him more recently to rate him more positively.

EDIT: Plus, ESPN ranks him as the #41 OT. Scout ranks him as the #43 OT (a 3 star). Not much difference there.

If he'd committed to UConn, it'd probably have been because he wasn't good enough to get an offer from a Michigan level program, ie we're talking about two different kids now. Also, ESPN is less likely to be motivated to evaluate a new BC commit than a Michigan kid, so even if BC picks up a 4* talent it is likely it would take longer for anyone to notice. So you're right in a sense, but I also don't think it means that fourth star is a charitable act just to reel in Michigan fans.

Nope. They are still going to whin. Even though most first round draft picks are 4* and some are 3* or 5* athletes, what matters is the development between hs and their jr or sr year of college. For example, D. Green and W. Campbell were both 5* were Jake Ryan, Taylor Lewan, Mike Martin, Shoelace, Braylon, etc were not five star athletes out of high school.

This is actually a good point. A lot of time guys with either some physical development to do or some technique work are the ones who end up as the best prospect when it's time to graduate. Guys who are done growing and who have excellent coaching in HS might be field-ready when they hit campus but will likely be much closer to their ceilings. I'll take a physical freak who is adding size to his frame, who has only been playing for 2 years, who Harbaugh and co. think they can mold into a player, any day of the week. And due to inexperience/technique or size they often come out of HS as middling 3 stars.

Remmeber getting into an argument with Helmholdt a few years back over Big Will. I said he might have the strength and body for a 5* but what I saw on the film was a very big player who stood straight up repeatedly and move straight ahead and people got out of his way due to natural instinct, survival, not because they were pancaked. He came back saying I had a prejudice toward the w. side which I certainly do not, and we all know who proved right. 

Andrew, of the other hand, shows a young man who fires off the ball and gets into defenders quickly, ending in the cake very often. His pass rusing is suspect because he blocks like a boxer, allowing those with longer arms to get to close to him thereby mitigating the power he might have in his first hard contact by guaranteeing its as short as possible. However, this is one of the easiest fixes I can think of and I don't think it will take Drevno much time at all. Additionally, you cannot teach his size and strength that is going to continue to get better. I think its a fair ranking, but keeping him at 3 for awhile would not have been bad but I don't think he's going to quit working regardless.

you took wolverdog because Woflman was taken. I do know that Darden was a wolfman, but I grabbed the name to honor the last and as far as I am concerned, the best, in Don Dufek, Jr. I know all the hockey fans at that time like him because he was very good in that sport as well. 

It was football though where I really thought he stood out. You have to be pretty special to be awarded that type of latitude. i think the role of Peppers this season, as I understand it, is real close. 

There was just so much about Dufek I admired. Playing a game with a broken femur is one and there is one signature play I'll remember for as long as I breathe. MSU had a big, real big RB if I remember correctly, by the name of Levi Jackson who I think went about  235 lbs. Again, going on memory, I believe he is the one that scored the go ahead in MSU's last second victory over OSU in either '72 or '73.  Michigan beat state that year but as the 10-0 score indicates, it wasn't a blowout. I remember clearly how on 3rd and one, if not everyone in the stadium knew where the ball was going, there were at least two, one was Jackson, of course, and the other was that AA safety from UM by the name of Dufek. This play epitomized why he was the Wolfman. As the qb was running thru his cadence, Don kept sneaking closer to the l.o.s., and exhibiting both excellent anticipation and perfect timing, he met Levi in the Offensive's RT hole which appeared open for about .2 seconds, no lolnger than that. In a tackle that could still be used as an example of perfect form tackling, he met him with his shoulder pads, wrapped with both arms, while lifting at the same time and whether he needed a yard or an inch would not have mattered. He deposited the larger man - I'm guessing by at least 30 lbs - on his backside, roughly 2 to 3 yards in the offensive backfield, thus ending the drive. An absolute stud. Someone has to be the last. I'm glad it was him.

Does that mean he can't be sleeper of the year candidate? Or do we only look at composite for that? I don't think his composite will budge that much unless he goes out to compete in other camps. Rivals is especially particular about that.

It's impossible for Jim Harbaugh to sign a 3-star.  As soon as he shows interest, the recruit gets bumped to a 4/5-star.

His very act of evaluating a recruit's status, changes that recruit's status.

It's the "Harbaughberg Uncertainty Principle" at work.

You've been a member for roughly one and one-half year. If you feel o.k. with paying 1.35 Euro for each borrowed, I am sure we can arrange something and if you really fucked up, we'll have to do something to provide a usury exemption. I'm sure one of our attorneys or cpas on site can help us out there brother. Mother says hi. Yeah, we'll go that route.

What makes you think he wants to do that? Not every coordinator aspires to be a head coach. Guy has been around (as a coach period) quite a while and we have never heard about him interviewing for or looking for a head coaching gig. We know that Wheatly wants to be a head coach. We knew Durkin wanted to be a head coach. But it isn't for everybody.

Not sure what is hard to understand about that. Some coaches just want to work on one side of the ball and don't want to be a head coach. Drevno is almost 10 years older than durkin. We knew durkin was an aspiring head coach. What makes anyone think drevno is.
