  2. Comments:

    * I was sorry when Crawford decommitted. He seemed like a good player. I'd also be curious to see how Brown would have worked with Borgesball.

    * It's amazing to see how productive some guys (Mike Jones last year, Rawls and Ash this year) can be when they drop down a level.

    * For now, I think Furman is easily the most intriguing guy on this list. Too small for a UMich linebacker, presumably ... does Okie State run a defense where he can play closer to the line? Apparently so ...

    * I think Vinopal has exceeded the career expectations of a tiny 2-star DB.

  3. Of all those on the list, who do you -- using full 20/20 hindsight, including knowledge of the current roster and those in the pipeline -- now wish had stayed at Michigan?

    1. Choice #1 would probably be Dallas Crawford, who could be helping out at safety or at running back. I like him as a running back prospect more than Hayes - not as a full-time guy, but as a change-of-pace or third down player. Choice #2 would probably be Pharaoh Brown, who could be helping out as a DE or playing TE right now. He would probably be ahead of A.J. Williams, and that would be a good 1-2 combination with him and Jake Butt.
