New numbers for Norfleet and Drake Johnson
Not sure if this has already been discussed, but I was perusing the roster page on mgoblue.com and noticed that some players have new numbers.
Drake Johnson #20 (previously #29)
Dennis Norfleet #23 (previously #26)
Much more iconic. Anyone think this means they'll definitely get more carries?
Also, side note: Jonathan Keizer is #89 (previously #27) and we all know what that means!!!!
GO BLUE! Anyone getting a #27 jersey in anticipation?
A RB wearing #20 that came in with no fanfare. I like it.
EDIT: Also a number change, walkon RB Bobby Henderson changed from #51 to #37.
with him.
Wasn't Drake Johnson two stars or something?
I got mixed up and was thinking of Green with the incoming class.
I can't remember what he went by, but there was one guy on the interwebs at the time who was just raving about Hart (though this might have been in the Google/usenet days). He was a Syracuse fan, but had actually seen him, and would tell any Michigan fan he could find that Hart was going to surprise everyone.
Not that it discounts your point in the least. I just like to give that anonymous guy credit for being right when the opportunity presents itself.
Minimum one Heisman a piece now with the number change.
I like Norfleet as a 23. Johnson kinda feels like a 29 to me, though. I say this fully expecting someone to inform me that he was 20 in high school or something.
IMO #29 needs to go to an exceptional defensive back.
Like Troy Woolfolk?
Like Leon Hall smart ass
Not an option across the intersection from PiHi.
Norfleet in 23 feels very Jamie Morris-like to me.
Brown Bear = Beano Cook reincarnated? Hope he is not trying to make up for those Ron Pawlus predictions.
They waited until after we shipped HTTV.

Nike #37 Jersey they used to sell! It's awesome
Was a baller. Good number.
Already got a couple #27 jerseys! I have been waiting for someone to breakthrough with that number since Calvin Bell.
Until they start putting pictures on the front, I'm not interested.
Ross Douglas is switching from #7 to #29.
He already pretty much fills out this jersey without pads. He will be a (human) monster in full pads and I would love to rekindle some (for me) vague memories of Biakabutuka...

I really liked 26 on Norfleet. It seemed like it fit him. 23 works too, but it's just not the same. Okay I'm over it.

/90s #27
Anyone notice that Drew Dileo is faster than Norfleet in the NCAA Demo? Dileo is a better returner as well. I have a feeling he is vastly underrated (at least in the speed dept) in this game.
Also, still a cornerback.
I wanted Dileo to be given the opportunity
to be our #1 punt/kick returner since he arrived from Louisiana.Nothing against Dennis Norfleet, who has done very well thank you very much. I just think that Dileo was our headiest punt return man and I could never understand what our coaches were seeing/thinking that was so different. Obviously they are there in practice every day, to see what's what and who performs. And I am not there. But unless it was to protect Dileo as an essential element in our placekicking game (as holder), I just didn't get it. I think we've had some problematic returners since Steve Breaston left Ann Arbor.
