    If that's true, would think it possible he didn't like it that M's staff probably wouldn't guarantee anything either. Told him he'd be competing for a job. So, he went elsewhere where there was a guarantee.
    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.

    • Nick/Mario recruits (primarily) Left Tackles from HS (because they are often your best linemen) and tells them they they may end up as LG, RT, RG, whatever. Even center if there is a need.

      Some kids only want to do LT because it's considered the 'superstar' spot and that's what they are used to.

      • So he wanted to be promised a starting role at LT as a true freshman? Even we wouldn't be able to do that. At best, we could promise him a spot on the two-deep at RT.

        • No, he wants to not redshirt and not be moved from the LT spot. Not necessarily a starting role as a freshman. Just on scholarship (no redshirt) and on the three-deep somewhere as a LT.

          • That would be doable. Our OT depth chart is really bad.

            • The redshirt was probably manageable. I think The Nick probably assumes he's getting 3 years and, in no event, more than 4, so why bother with redshirt. The LT guarantee is problematic as is some shithead high school making demands of The Nick. THE NICK.

              • If he's not LT, the odds of him leaving after three are somewhat diminished.

                He really needs to RS. His footwork is not great (and that takes some time) but he makes up for it with size and strength in HS. In college, your bad feet get you beat. In HS he was able to power through. Plus, with what we had coming in on the OL, no room for a freshman you won't use for a year sitting on pine but taking a schollie.

                  We could have used him, and badly.


                  OL plays needs to improve and fast, or we will continue to fail in big moments.

                        Should get Nico. Praying for Chuck. Why haven't we heard more about Slaton?

                          • Why haven't we heard more about Slaton?
                            From Monday Recruitin' Braces For Commit Avalanche:

                            Four-star guard Tedarrell Slaton (Planation, Fla./American Heritage) will take the SAT Sunday. That score will determine the level of schools he can get into and allow him to start taking official visits in January....

                            Slaton prefers to play nose tackle. That might rekindle Michigan's pursuit if his SAT is right. Reitmaier reaffirming to Oregon and the uncertain recruitments of 4.5* UT DT Jay Tufele and 5* GA DT Aubrey Solomon could put Michigan back on the chase for a true NT.
