Former five star OT from Stanford. Why not a few more Joe Moore award winning O-lines?

247 has him as #41 overall in the portal. Once they update him to Michigan, our Portal haul will be first by a mile (with #s 1, 11, 41 overall; Oklahoma has #s 10, 39, 66).

If AJ Barner comes, you can also add #37 for the good guys.

Not only that.  Olu, was already recognized as one of the top OL players before he transferred.  But when you are at Michigan, you get that much more recognition and elite coaching that  goes a long way towards improving your draft stock.  I’m sure a natty is important too, but it’s all about the draft my friend.

I'm not sure why everyone is so delirious over these transfers.

They may be able to start for their current teams, but they haven't received even Honorable Mention as All-Conference. Michigan's Oline starters would be very difficult to displace. And the Oline depth are guys who have game experience and have been trained by the great Michigan coaching and training staffs.

The transfers may not be big upgrades over the depth guys already on the roster (Or any upgrade at all.) I think we need to wait and see how it shakes out.

They add depth at a minimum. Olu was a homerun this year, and Eyabi was an above average add. If they are even above average they are good adds. 

Not every transfer will hit, but in my eyes - the three Michigan has added so far > 3 mid 4 star recruits given the variability of Freshman panning out. 

In the case of Hausmann, he is still young so could even be a multi-year starter.

I’m not dissing the transfers. I’m supporting the quality of our current people.

We were going to have a really good OL next year and the transfers might add depth or might beat our current people out for 1 or 2 starting slots. But they aren’t likely going to create a great improvement because our current people are really good and have excellent potential.

My point is that the outpouring if exaltation seems to stem from the idea that these transfers will greatly improve the OL. The current evidence does not support that conclusion.

And that doesn’t even consider the concern that the current team culture is very tight, loyal to each other, and committed to Michigan. It is not impossible that the current guys might feel that they are being recruited over. We don’t want to do anything that would endanger the current team culture. It has already withstood the shock of having 2 team captains leave and dis the program as unfair to current starters. (I think they are completely wrong, but it is still out there.)
