Drake can play a FB role on offense too... It is crazy how much talent that school is producing... Seems like Iowa is trying like hell to get a pipeline into that school.

I just found some interesting tidbits from Nyles Morgan on a free 247 Sports article that was posted 5 days ago...

Morgan, who recorded 102 tackles, ten for a loss, six sacks and four forced fumbles last season, visited Ann Arbor last month, and the Wolverines have been coming on strong since he made the trip.

“I’ve been hearing a lot from Michigan lately,” he said. “I’m pretty interested in them. They told me that they run a 4-4 defense at times, and that’s the type of defense I’m used to playing in at my high school.

Even though Morgan does not know where his first offer will come from, he does know what he wants to see out of a program.

“I want to see hospitality from the places that are interested in me,” Morgan said. “Academics and athletics will be important … but especially the defense. I’m looking to play for a defense that’s known for making plays.

“No matter what, I’m going to wait until the very end to make my decision. I don’t plan on making any early commitments.”

I just watched his tape.

Drew Barker looks pretty good on film. He actually seems somewhat similar to DeShone Kizer.

Barker, however, plays in a zone-read option which takes advantage of his dual-threat ability.

Here's a basic list of 2014 targets that we are interested in. Of course, it's still waaaaay early.

DeShone Kizer
Chance Stewart
Chandler Kincade

WR
Damon Webb
Bobby Baze
Drake Harris
Jaylan Grandison
Dominique Booth

RB
Lorenzo Collins
Jamitreus Crockham
Jonathan Hilliman

TE
Jordan Van Dort

OL
Jay Hayes
James Hendren

ATH
Dareian Watkins

DL
Malik McDowell
Brandon Hines
Da'Shawn Hand
Gelen Robinson
Dylan Roney
Sam Mustipher

LB
Nyles Morgan
Clifton Garrett
Will White
Gary Hosey
Deon Drake

CB
Jabrill Peppers
Doug DiFusco Jr.
Johnny Miggins
Jalen Tabor

Da'Shawn Hand, Malik McDowell, and Sam Mustipher to DL

Damon Webb to WR

I did now know that. Thanks for sharing that.

But frankly, I think Van Dort would make an excellent TE...especially if he shed some weight.

He has the speed and coverage skills of Kendall Fuller but the true playmaking ability of Stefon Diggs. Regardless, he is a very very good player.

I think Peppers is already better than Fuller. He was the best player on Don Bosco last year as a sophomore on a team with Yuri Wright, Elijah Shumate, and Darius Hamilton. The kid is a top 3 player in the 2014 class IMO.

I want this kid to come to Michigan so bad.

I think he'd make a very good TE too, but I think the last thing the Michigan coaches want him to do is lose weight. They've talked about seeing him as just this massive, super-athletic freak of a tackle. Just imagine getting a kid that size into our college weight room for a couple years...lordy.
