Of course the political corruption, re-rankings and bags of Benjamins yet to exchange hands but it's good to be on top of this corrupt recruiting game. Thankfully we've got the best coach in CFB to equalize the field.
Walker's commitment will move Michigan from No. 5 to No. 1 in Scout.com's team rankings for 2016, ahead of Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Ohio State.

No, right. IMO, it's different than his junior film. Still a 4* and still probably top 100. Nothing wrong with that. I agree with your initial take on him.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.

Best comparison?
UGA's Todd Gurley.
The one thing Harbaugh demands in his players is effort. Combine Walker's talent with desire to excel along with competent coaching and Kareem has the potential to be really good. POTENTIAL.
Green, Isaac, Baraka ...... long list of highly ranked M backs with POTENTIAL that pretty much failed to live up to that.
I'm not keeping track, but it seems to me, M, with it's emphasis on power football, has had a terrible decade of RBs compared to other programs with similar offenses (let's forget about the RR years and Denard). Iv'e said this before, but, IMO, there are reasons for that. Not only does it take good OL's (M has been missing one of those for, oh, about a decade), but it takes elite coaching and player development.
I'll certainly acknowledge that Harbaugh has brought the M coaching staff closer to being elite and having the capability to develop talent than any of the last 3 M coaches. Now that that has occurred, elite HS talent appears to be interested in signing with M and being developed.
Aspects of the defense improved. Not all but that is an indication of how good this staff is. The offense did OK but at best it was mediocre. Adding Walker to the offense will test Drevno's and Wheatly's coaching and player development skills. We'll see how that turns out in 2016.Last edited by Jeff Buchanan; December 17, 2015, 03:34 PM.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

Well it certainly doesn't mean we can sleep on RB recruiting next year. Does not look like that to-the-house-on-any-given-carry kind of back, and Brian said it well -- Deveon Smith but more athletic and faster. That's great for a team like ours which really had no running game at all last year. If not a differencemaker at least he looks like he can bring credibility to the running game in a way that Smith could not. Harbaugh can make another major addition to the stable in the '17 cycle.

Originally posted by hack View PostIndeed. Might be a few years before the line gets where it's going though. Was better this year, but not the big jump we'd hoped for.
No depth, when Glasgow went down, teams ran the ball on JH, defense was gassed often, no rotation as Ohio A & M enjoyed, most of their underachieving season.Last edited by Prime2; December 17, 2015, 05:22 PM."Whole milk, not the candy-ass 2-percent or skim milk."
