Are any of those guys actually even possible? There are four 4-star recruits and a 6'5'' QB from Ohio I would imagine the team would love to have just to name a few. Can't go wrong with a 6'3'' WR or 6'1 safties, especially considering the obvious need for improvement in the secondary from last season.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306170751920531751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-83429701016233550022011-01-25T07:31:48.192-08:002011-01-25T07:31:48.192-08:00We need linebackers more than we need WRs, so I am...We need linebackers more than we need WRs, so I am pretty stoked about any filling of the defensive front seven. Roh, Demens and Fitgerald don't have a lot of back-up help. Now the Gordons can both go to being Strong Safeties -- or at least we can get fast linebackers at the hybrid (think Urlacher) instead of short safeties like Stevie Brown or Gordon. When we run the 3-3-5 I would rather have that hybrid player be able to tackle the Big Ten's big players. <br /><br />I also see the loading up of need positions as a good strategy, because that means competition. Traditionally, there's been yearly competition at RB and even QB at Michigan, but the defense has seemed to be under-recruited (even during Carr's last years). The more linebackers, the more they will all be challenged to live up to their fullest potential. Same with the DBs.<br /><br />I am looking forward to hearing whether players like Marvin Robinson, Josh Furman, Cornelius Jones and Jake Ryan will be ready. Robinson was a four-star, and I read UM players say that Jake Ryan is a tackling machine and is gonna tear it up next year.<br /><br />If recruits that redshirted, like the above, and Richard Ash step up, the defense is going to surprise. I saw Brandon Graham/Woodley potential in Jibreel Black last year. He's fast, has a motor, and with some technique and a year in the program -- he's my breakout for Spring Ball and the fall.<br /><br />PS: Flloyd Raven committed to Texas A&M via ESPN.Professor A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13004685014952213054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-69599077208017318592011-01-25T06:44:33.955-08:002011-01-25T06:44:33.955-08:00yea i think mgoblog got hit with a virus...wont lo...yea i think mgoblog got hit with a virus...wont load for me<br /><br />This is great!

Running with a base 4-3 will allow us to recruit the more elite DT's in the country as well as the elite LB's. It will also match up better scheme wise against the powers of the big ten (Wisc., Iowa, etc.)<br /><br />Michigan will have 12 LB's on scholarship next season with 4 of them being seniors. Take into account that they might try some of them at safety. Then that leaves a need to be some bodies in the door with this years and next years recruiting class.kkopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04544678682331363194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-50378033791549794272011-01-25T05:24:09.504-08:002011-01-25T05:24:09.504-08:00Nothing wrong with stacking LB's because some ...Nothing wrong with stacking LB's because some of them will grow into DE's by the time they leaveUMFAN323https://www.blogger.com/profile/01393717413587907414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-47557827197185492252011-01-25T05:15:06.198-08:002011-01-25T05:15:06.198-08:00Seems they are running out of room in this class i...Seems they are running out of room in this class in a hurry.
