What's with the Sam Webb hate? Half to 3/4ths of the content on this site is lifted from Michigan Insider and the Michigan Insider podcast. Sam is very careful in his wording about having a chance vs. gut feel, etc. He never said that Najee was coming here. He said the Michigan staff was confident Najee was coming here, but so were the Bama folks. Listen to his podcast on WTKA. ...and ride Golden Limosine. ; )

Highly rated running back out of Los Angeles that USC wanted (#foreshadowing) and we had Anthony Thomas the year ahead of him. But he picked us. Thanks Wisconsin.

I believe he tore up both knees, one of them multiple times. Or at least multiple surgeries. Hard to play without knees.

basketball: 1. Xavier Simpson 2.Nakhtar Ndiaye 3.Sean Higgins
Brown was truly a surprise on the day he announced, as mentioned above. Simpson seemingly came out of nowhere, taking a surprise visit on his way home from an OV to Wisconsin. Beilein has picked up a lot of surprise commits, unlike any Michigan coach in my memory. The others took surprising routes to land here.

Wagner, Robinson (x2), MAAR, Hardaway, McGary, Bielfeldt. I could go on. He's gotten the sons of NBA stars who you'd expect to go elsewhere, players practically no one's heard of and one where we seemed the least likely of all his big time finalists.

In a time where we were primarily, heavily so, a running team, getting A,.C. out of Florida was an absolute coup. All three of the FL teams were introducing themselves to the nation as viable powers and all three ran offenses that were a perfect match to his skill set.
Using him at nothing more than a return specialist, he would have more than earned his scholarship. However, his influence on our offense - scoring on 25% of his receptions, having a weapon that forced defenses to sell out on the run at their own peril was unique to M football and over the course of his career convincing Bo to use him as a part of the game plan and not just on third and long convinced Bo of the importance of the added dimension to the offense. Although Jim Smith preceeded him as the firt "prototypical " NFL receiver, he is rightfully recognized as the start of what woul become a long line of geat Michigan receivers.
There are a number in the discussion but imo he's is easily the best Michigan player never to have won the Heisman.

Football: Rashan Gary. Clemson made a serious push in the last 2-3 weeks of his recruitment, and I had a bad feeling they were going to snatch him away. Getting the absolute cream of the crop to not just consider Michigan, but commit, was huge. You're going to hear Roger Goodell call his name in 2-3 years.
Basketball: McGary by a country mile. Beilein's first pickup where the guy could've literally gone anywhere, with schools like Duke and Kentucky all making serious pushes for him. Schools that typically leaving Michigan in the dust on the recruiting trail. That was a huge recruiting coup, and without him, we don't make the title game. Probably don't even get past the Sweet 16.
