He's closer to 320, and he also plays hockey if I'm remembering right. A 320 lbs hockey player would be a funny thing for me to see. Because of how I feel Hoke values his backyard, I think Norman will get an offer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-14221708821113370462012-02-09T18:38:14.365-05:002012-02-09T18:38:14.365-05:00Let's look at the #100 player to Rivals over t...Let's look at the #100 player to Rivals over the past several years:<br /><br />2002: Jim Unis (Boston College)<br />2003: Tim Washington (LSU)<br />2004: Greg Harrison (PSU)<br />2005: Montario Hardesty (Tennessee)<br />2006: Justin Anderson (Georgia)<br />2007: Brandon Gibson (Alabama)<br />2008: Nick Moody (FSU)<br />2009: John Martinez (USC)<br />2010: Demetrius Wright (USC)<br />2011: Charles Jackson (Nebraska) <br /><br />If you see any bona fide superstars in there, let me know. Hardesty did okay at Tennessee and is averaging 3.0 yards a carry for the Browns. Gibson has been a fair possession receiver for the Rams the last couple seasons. Moody had a good year for FSU in 2010. But I don't see any strong evidence to suggest Rivals' #100 player is a surefire success.<br /><br />As for Riley Norman, I don't think he's a horrible player. I'm just not sure he's what Michigan is looking for. They haven't been going after the massive offensive tackles in 2012 or 2013 (so far). They've been going after the tackles who are 275-290 lbs. or so. Norman is listed at 315 already.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-49666788581514598702012-02-09T18:10:08.828-05:002012-02-09T18:10:08.828-05:00Magnus, this kid is ranked as the #1 WDE by 247, a...Magnus, this kid is ranked as the #1 WDE by 247, and he's in the top 100 according to Rivals, and you have 3 times as many negative things to say about him as positive things.<br /><br />You said Riley Norman would probably not get an offer, despite creeping into the rivals 250.<br /><br />I love this blog because you're always honest, but jeez man, what does a recruit have to do to be in your good graces?<br /><br />JCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-70909660786977561502012-02-09T17:42:45.821-05:002012-02-09T17:42:45.821-05:00I don't really think he has the agility to pla...I don't really think he has the agility to play OLB.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-48588170140021817632012-02-09T12:53:09.139-05:002012-02-09T12:53:09.139-05:00Would he be better off on a team that can play him...Would he be better off on a team that can play him as a 3-4 OLB?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-6841180888951971082012-02-09T09:18:08.617-05:002012-02-09T09:18:08.617-05:00I didn't write a commitment post for Paskorz b...I didn't write a commitment post for Paskorz because I was just a fledgling blogger then, but here's the first post about him from the 2010 Countdown.

He's not playing well on the field, and he's supposedly not working hard enough to fix that problem. I would not expect him to see the field much in 2012, either, unless the light suddenly goes on for him.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-62981496461991372332012-02-09T07:10:33.102-05:002012-02-09T07:10:33.102-05:00"Reminds me of: Ken Wilkins"
