It's probably Cooper or bust, although we might be able to pick up a MAC-level type of kid.<br /><br />I already have a 2012 big board (sort of) at the top of the page. It's not that thorough, but I'll worry about sprucing it up after NSD.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-39746488337115472652011-01-29T23:38:05.153-05:002011-01-29T23:38:05.153-05:00so im assuming no other DT prospects are on ur boa...so im assuming no other DT prospects are on ur board except cooper? i think u guys REALLY need a DT commit this class. another question: are u going to have a 2012 big board? or should i just go back to mgoblog to look at theirs *shudders*<br /><br />-hornAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-74758963226455134872011-01-29T21:49:32.842-05:002011-01-29T21:49:32.842-05:00@ horn 9:31 p.m.

A guy like Willie Beavers, who's visited Michigan before, might be able to be reeled in at the 11th hour. Not that I have any inside info about Beavers, but that's the type of kid I'm talking about.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-85212786215414258312011-01-29T21:31:28.309-05:002011-01-29T21:31:28.309-05:00will u b giving ur "best of" awards afte...will u b giving ur "best of" awards after signing day? just trying to look forward to, those were good last year<br /><br />-hornAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-9869518127838326082011-01-29T18:27:41.962-05:002011-01-29T18:27:41.962-05:00Huge get for the program.
I like the notion tha...Huge get for the program. <br /><br />I like the notion that Michigan should pursue a 4th OL even if Fisher isn't part of the class. Though, is there time to get a Plan B player given Fisher's process? While we've seen many new names pop up over the last few weeks, it seems unlikely that would happen again this close to signing day; especially considering no time left for visits. Perhaps there's some 2 or 3 star types who've been to camps and would drop everything from one Brady Hoke phone call. I'd be surprised.<br /><br />It seems as though Willingham, Clark, Rawls, Fisher, Bennett and Cooper are the only remaining names on the board. The priority remains Fisher. <br /><br />That 6 targets and 17 commitments. Numbers will almost certainly not be a problem because they won't have 100% success rate. That said, if Michigan gets good vibes from Fisher, Bennett and Cooper, I suspect someone like Clark or Rawls could see their offer pulled (or modified to a gray-shirt or preferred walk-on status) by signing day. Alternatively, I'd imagine they could take some current walk-ons and 5th year's away for a while if they're forced to. Give the offers back whenever the inevitable attrition over the next 8 months occurs. Its unlikely that it becomes a problem though. <br /><br />I think they're just crossing <br /><br />Regarding Campbell - the move to OL never made much sense because 4 other interior OL are in the same graduating class as WC (Omameh, Barnum, Khoury, Mealer). Its unlikely he was going to beat out any of these incumbents and like them, he's gone by the time they need a new starter (2013). <br /><br />Meanwhile, DL is wide open in 2012 when Martin and Van Bergen graduate. Campbell's only competition at DT will be Washington, Ash, and whatever recruits they land - none of whom are at all proven. We have to hope that the OL move was a wake-up call for Campbell and that this coaching staff can turn him into a quality player by the time he's a senior.Lankowniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421144704503213226noreply@blogger.com
