ReplyDeleteBTW I always assumed you wrote these well in advance sometime in the summer and then added pre-post tweaks (as needed).
Thanks for doing it again. Hope the Fall calms down a bit and everything is well in Thundersville.
I can see why Mazi Smith is at #1. Cam Goode is not as good as the talk about him when he transferred. But it looks like the interior D Line is better with Mike Elston. Michigan still needs some big guys for the middle. Maybe Kenneth Grant will be a pleasant surprise this year.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick for #1. Team Mazi!
