2 OSU LB's listed not named Darron Lee? I thought Lee was the best LB on the field in the final two games last year - kid is amazing in space.
ReplyDeleteI remember Su'a Cravens name from when Michigan was recruiting him. Was he originally recruited as a safety out of high school?
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad we couldn't keep Kris Frost. He's turned into a solid player for Auburn.
ReplyDeleteRR was going to take him as a receiver, IIRC. He wanted to play receiver. Coaching change lost us Kris Frost, Dee Hart, and didn't help our chances with Sammy Watkins.
DeleteWhat a class that would've been..
