I don't mind on using it on solid linemen, but other than that, might as well wait for next year.<br /><br />Recruiting since September has been tough because we were having a lame season, so we might as well bank a few for next year -- 2015 class will be very small, even smaller than 2014 class.suduri xusaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514381713516547280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-2146915433495622012014-02-04T06:43:32.261-05:002014-02-04T06:43:32.261-05:00Disagree...would much rather have that scholarship...Disagree...would much rather have that scholarship sit idle for one year, and give it to a likely contributor next year, then tie it up for 4 or 5 years with someone who ends up on the scout team, because we took him just to take anybody.

Michigan is not in a comfortable-enough position to let scholarships go unused (actually rewarding walk-ons, but you get the point.) <br /><br />If/when McDowell goes elsewhere they should call up some 2-star/3-star linemen who'd love to be at Michigan and give him an offer. Preferably on the OL, where the injury news paired with inexperience is depressing. Michigan's only sure-fire starter right now is Graham Glasgow, which is scary. I realize a freshman isn't going to fix that in 2014, but he might in 2015 or 2016. OL is the toughest position to recruit according to many, including this article:<br /><br />http://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2014/1/27/5330708/college-football-hardest-position<br /><br />This is a time of year where guys like Norfleet can still be unearthed and signed. Michigan shouldn't pass on that opportunity without at least trying to flip someone.Lanknowsnoreply@blogger.com
