  • No way in any world do you take a 5 star ol over Harris.

    Comment


    • Harris may be the top HS player in the country at any position. Not sure you can just classify him as a simple 5 star.

      Comment


      • I'm not sure how anyone can claim to know where Harris is leaning since he's not talking. Word is he's just going to show up at his school of choice.

        • Take both Najee and the 5 star OT because their individual decision likely doesn't affect the other.
          Now if the debate is what player would have more impact... do you want a Fournette/Peterson type (if Najee reaches his potential) or a Tyron Smith (5 star OT) at USC.

          Najee.

          • Any updates on Grant Newsome, btw? I guess it'll be a while until we know, but the return of a healthy Newsome would be a massive boost in outlook.

            • With all this hype about Najee to M, I need to gently remind myself he could still end up at Alabama. Gross.

                Don't classes for the winter term at M start today?

                Any Harris sightings on campus?

                Heh, heh.

                • Personally, I enjoyed the thread on the OSU Roster for 2017. Split evenly b/t "STFU about OSU" and "OMG, they lose so much we'll be so much better than them" stuff.

                  But, yes, the Najee stuff is gone way over the top. At least it will be over soon, one way or the other.

                  • Interesting from last visit to mgoblog:

                    Returning Contributors - with 247 Rating:

                    Offense:

                    QB - Speight - .8728

                    RB/FB - Hill - .8575, Poggi - .9419, Higdon - .8715, Evans - .8911

                    WR - Harris - .9663, Ways - .8687, Crawford - .9425, McDoom - .8794

                    TE - Bunting - .8904, Wheatley - .8953, Asiasi - .9626, McKeon - .8493

                    OL - Cole - .9408, JBB - .8887, Ulizio - .8343, Bredeson - .9790, Onwenu - .9549, Runyan - .8403, Spanellis - .8543 (Newsome - .9074)

                    Defense:

                    DL - Gary - 1.000, Hurst - .9038, Mone - .9434, Winovich - .8938, Marshall, - .9250 Kemp - .8954, Dwumfour - .8453, Jones - .8540

                    LB - McCray - .9370, Bush - .8921, Furbush - .8666, Metellus - .8540

                    DB - Clark - .8699, Kinnel - .9180, Watson - .8513, Long - .9658, Hill - .9359, Hudson - .8819

                    Key takeaways (and nothing you all don't already know):

                    Michigan's got a long way to go to be as "highly-touted" as OSU and Alabama, especially when you compare this list to their returning contributors.

                    Too many of Michigan's returning contributors from the 2013-2015 classes were ranked as low 4-stars or high-3 stars coming out of HS. There's Mason Cole, Bryan Mone, Mike McCray, and maybe Drake Harris and Henry Poggi who I would consider as highly-ranked coming out of HS who will contribute next year. Out of 22 positions, that's at-most 5 that can be occupied by a upper-class, highly-ranked recruit. I'm not discounting the contributions of players like Hurst, Hill, Kinnel, etc.; just pointing out that they've likely out-played their HS ranking.

                    2016 and especially 2017 will go a long way to helping fill Michigan's depth chart with highly-ranked recruits.


                    ....... another interesting factoid: There is a 65% chance that players with composite scores > 90.0 will matriculate to the NFL. Outside of that, the percentage drops to around 30.

                        • FWIW.

                          Down here they are saying that he is workout monster and says he was impressed with Alabama's strength coach and called him by name. When asked about the M strength coach, he didn't know the M strength coach's name.

                          Another Bama commit says he will be rooming with him and will be on the same flight from the All-star game that they are both playing in.

                          There was one more reason, but I can't recall it.

                          It may all be bullshit, but overall they are pretty confident about it.
                          I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

                              • I've thought he was "Bama Bound all along, but I can't figure why he wouldn't just reaffirm his commitment and be done with it. Here's a kid who supposedly doesn't have a need for attention who is allowing all of this to play out. For what purpose? To string Michigan along? Why? Doesn't make sense.
