Well, welcome to Michigan, Reuben Jones!

The Harbaugh era of recruiting officially gets of the ground with the first Hello post having only two duplicate threads, incidentally, so a tastefully understated start to what will hopefully be a whole slew of duplicate threads on various players. At least if it is good news, the cleanup is a nice problem to have.

A bit light as far as weight goes. Looks like he could be quite the persistent, grindery type. Get him a year or two with Coach Tolbert and you have quality clay for Durkin and Mattison to mold.

Welcome Reuben! With due respect to Hoke and not to shovel more dirt on a grave, do others get the sense that this staff has a very defined vision of what they want to do and the prototype players that fit into that vision? While Hoke brought in highly rated players, I never got the sense that there was a master plan apart from his repeated mantra to push "physicality" peppered with a whole lot of "welllllll." If you look at the dynasties of the past 15-20 years - FSU, USC, Bama, and the looming Columbus turds, what seemed to set them apart was a narrative or vision/philosophy that they brilliantly translated on to the field better than anybody else. I think we're laying the groundwork for that same pattern. And you're seeing the prototypes coming on board now.
