Name a player at a position other than QB that has turned an entire program around? The only player that has recently turned a program around is RG3 and you might be able to make an argument for Cam Newton.

We will see what Baylor is like in the next 5 years to say he turned around a program.

I'll go with the obvious. Charles Woodson

Disagree, he helped us win a MNC but we were not in need of turning around

I thought by his comment he meant that QBs were the only ones capable of taking a team to elite level, and if you put Woodson on most teams in the FBS they would have immediately been in the top 10.

I think I may have misinterpreted your original post. I thought you meant he could turn a lowly program into a very respectable program. If you meant he could take a very good team and make them into a championship contender then I agree with you. But with that being said I will be shocked if he doesn't end up at Bama.

I said bring them to the next level, like if Michigan were to land him, he could bring them to a NT.

Like that list as starting out. Clint was very cryptic with Hayes and how he likes UM already.
Would like to see Josh Malone give us a hard look as well

Looks like Malone is on campus today, great news.

Although Michigan is in great shape with Hendren, he isnt planning on visiting Michigan until next summer and won't commit without visiting. I've seen some people throw out that he will commit once he's offered, but that is not true.
James is a great kid though, I love talking to him because he knows his stuff about recruiting and he's very bright.

I think we all need to relax on 2014 recruits. While Michigan is in great shape with many, many elite kids ... they are still only going to be juniors this fall. I suspect we see the same pattern of commitment starting next spring .... hopefully McDowell and another drops early (spring 13'), and we start building around an elite core.

Colt Brennan for UH, although UH is now in the dumps once again.
You could also say Jake Locker for Washington.

not looking for Qb's, but if where talking qb's here, andrew luck turned a non football school into a national contender.

Yeah, I know. QB wasn't his main position though, as you mentioned. It was just every now and then. So I say it counts.

Wow, Jayru was offered by Alabama. Having early offers from ND and now Alabama is very impressive for a QB. Glad that he's from CT.

Michigan is in a tough spot. A number of highly rated 2014 QBs want a Michigan offer, but not everyone can come in and be #2 behind Shane.

Yep, interesting situation. He's from a pipeline school, but would he go to Michigan behind say Morris/Kizer (or another highly ranked 2014 QB)?
