Let's back...Jer,<br /><br />You got me thinking. Thanks.<br /><br />Let's back up a moment.<br /><br />Known facts-<br />He is no longer with the team, and not enrolled in school. NO ONE is saying anything else.<br /><br />Conjecture-<br />Everything else.<br /><br />Not only do I not know THAT he has done something wrong, the people I know, that know almost everything, don't know. <br /><br />Additional Facts-<br />He's 18, and not protected by legal nondisclosure.<br /><br />He lives in TX, and is a fairly well known recruit. Being a big recruit in TX, even without a TX or OK offer, makes him a minor celebrity, and newsworthy.<br /><br />If ANYONE with a hatred for MI had a chance to tie Hoke to a recruit character debacle, it would have already been done.<br /><br />I think, therefore, it's possible he suffered a medical problem of some sort, and has asked everyone to respect his privacy, and they are respecting him.<br /><br />Not much else makes sense to me. Otherwise someone would have twittered or FB'd how he slapped a girl around, stole something, cheated, etc...<br /><br />I'm ashamed of myself for ignorantly assuming he has done something heinous. He may have just caught a bad break. Literally.BlueMarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775904841534042956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-52265803023141494362011-08-11T18:05:49.625-07:002011-08-11T18:05:49.625-07:00Blue,

Not that many of them ended up mattering...<br /><br />But, he kind of reminds me of Jason Avant. Not the hyped guy. Never a potential #1 jersey. But clutch. Look what Avant has accomplished. (Not that Grady is otherwise like Avant, just an analogy).<br /><br />It's not how good you are, it's how good you can become. We will see how much progress he's made. I think the kid has a motor, lives with the experience of a good example of how not to blow your chances (his brother) and may really break out this year.<br /><br />Jer,<br /><br />They never would have pulled the plug on Jones unless they were convinced he did something terribly wrong, and unforgivable.

As for Grady, you're right, he hasn't done much as of yet, but I expect him to contribute a lot more this year in the slot and returning kicks.lalondtmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483914028385297333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-11722678353795445132011-08-11T17:15:17.447-07:002011-08-11T17:15:17.447-07:00If Kellen Jones gets his leagal stuff worked out c...If Kellen Jones gets his leagal stuff worked out can he enroll back at UM?

One receiver I really want to see is Je'Ron Stokes, the kid was a beast in high school but really hasn't had a whole lot of playing time with the wide receiver depth Michigan has right now.

I read an article on ESPN's B1G blog about how the offense is doing so far. Borges mentioned Hemingway, Roundtree, Odoms, Grady and Jeremy Jackson. We all know Hemingway and Roundtree will be beasts, I'm eager to see how Odoms and Grady do in the slot, they are both extremely underrated (IMO) as far as slot guys go, and I'm excited to see how often Jeremy Jackson sees the field, if he is indeed the preferred WR out of our depth. I've mentioned 100 times we need a tall receiver, especially for this type of offense, and Jackson will be our tallest WR by 2 inches at 6'3". Could provide some excitement, at least in the redzone.lalondtmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483914028385297333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-37818990500658511692011-08-11T14:55:12.545-07:002011-08-11T14:55:12.545-07:00vincent sMith is still on the teaM he Was Practici...vincent sMith is still on the teaM he Was Practicing yesterdayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-48099447512350047562011-08-11T13:45:56.342-07:002011-08-11T13:45:56.342-07:00After the first night game at the Big House there ...After the first night game at the Big House there should only 1 or 2 spots remaining until NSD and UM can finish off there recruiting class.

The Sdraft is definitely in his best interest, so he might squeel to the NCAA about THEosu's violations in order for their "one year suspension" on him to be legit. Otherwise, he can't actually enter the draft, and he'll have to walk-on, which he'll be losing a TON of money.lalondtmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483914028385297333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-73898012965032997512011-08-10T15:25:54.218-07:002011-08-10T15:25:54.218-07:00I beleive the Def will surprise everyone this year...I beleive the Def will surprise everyone this year.

If you get the chance the Outside the Line report on OSU it is 2 part make sure you watch the part with Pat Forde and another guy not sure of his name but was a good report. Read some of the comments OSU fans make at the buttom of the page. They really don't think they did anything wrong. And that every school is doing it.

Darboh is set to visit on the 3rd, Payton and Garnett on the 10th! That could be three of our last four. My only take on the lack of DT scholarships given out is that although Hoke has said that he plans on running a 4-3 (over/under) scheme it appears with what he is recruiting that he and Mattison plan to use much more 3-4 in the near future. Wormley, Strobel, Godin at DE's, Pipkins at NT. Brown, Ojemudia, Jenkins-Stone at OLB and Ross, Ringer & Bolden to play inside. It makes sense since that is what Mattison used in Baltimore, and requires less DT types and more of the DE/DT tweeners that it appears we have been recruiting.
