We will be fine at WR without him, but it would have been real nice to have him. Still, DPJ and Black have showed promise and Perry has shown to be a consistent slot option. I'm not ready to write off Crawford yet, and McDoom made a nice play in the OSU game. Nico and Oliver are coming up with promise as well.

Gentry and McKeon have already shown to be matchup nightmares and are only going to be a Junior and a Sophomore next season. I think a lot of us are forgetting about Eubanks as well. He could be an incredible weapon at the FLEX next season.

Considering our current stockpile of talent at WR, this really doesn’t hurt all that much. Would’ve been nice to have him but he may want to go somewhere with a less crowded depth chart. Or maybe he just liked Florida that much more.

Either way, best of luck to him.

Improved pass protection, a QB that can identify the open targets (and you know, hit them in stride) and receivers that grow a bit and start making the 50-50 plays half the time will make a world of difference. 

Michigan has plenty of talent in receivers to go around, getting them a year older will be great, ensuring that fade routes to the shortest, least athletically gifted receivers ARE NEVER ALLOWED again is another, and having a QB who can read and throw to the actually open receivers are all some of the gifts I would like to get for Xmas.

posted this in the Micah Parsons thread as well but:

Looks like OSU might lose current QB commit Emory Jones (getting several crystal balls to Florida)... He's the 40th ranked player in the country and nearly a 5 star. 

Florida needs all the help at QB they can get.
