    Well I don't want to get lit up for taking the thread off topic as a guest visiting from msu 247 but since you asked. Biggest question is at QB in my opinion. Given the fact that Maxwell has the measureables and his invite to Elite 11 as a senior he should be alright. He sat behind the captain long enough to dial it in so we'll see there. We only lost a couple of pieces on the D so I feel pretty good there and alot of talented athletic young guys are making a push so we're excited to see a few guys like Taiwan Jones and Darien Harris from Dematha. The running backs are looking good and the OL should be much better with everyone returning from injuries. Receiver is looking a little thin in spite of taking 1,500 of them last year. We need some young guys to step in and if Arnett's hardship waiver is granted that'll be a huge boost. Spring game should be fun. Looking forward to finally get a look at Connor Cook get work with the 2's given he was invited to Elite 11 as well. We'll see how it shakes out.

    You don't have to worry about getting slammed, as long as you're respectful here then you'll get treated with respect. Any surprise names stepping up so far?

    Well yeah, that Darien Harris at LB. Looks like he's moving into the 2 spot at the star lb position. He was the team mate of Cooper who we also made a top 2 for last year and lost out on. Kinda sucks. Spent a few years working on getting into Dematha and got one kid, made a top 2 for another, and then they hired a new coach with FSU ties.
    RJ Williamson has looked pretty good too and we heard alot last year about Shilique Calhoun. Marcus has grown a little and is moving from DE to DT, should be interesting. Kyle Kerrick enrolled early and is a big sized posession type receiver who is gonna see time as a freshman and we've been waiting for Juwan Caesar to get healthy after surgery. It's always fun to see a huge receiver out there. Also, we had a FB step up which obviously helps in the running game and a walk on TE impress in the spring. That's a position of need for sure.

    who is playing outside? Depriest will start at Mike right? The new corners is really the only thing that would worry me over the course of the season but michigan will keep the ball on the ground alot in this game I think, which at least gives you the chance to hide a couple of new guys until they're dialed in.

    Sam will be handled by Hubbard. Hes really tall and athletic, had d1 offers to play basketball. Hes probably around 240.

    Jack lb is dickson. Hes another guy, around 250.
    Both guys were top 250 ranked guys.

    In our defense, will and mike are the inside guys. There will be a pretty good rotation between mosely, johnson and depriest with mosely and johnson getting most of the pt. Johnson is best in run coverage, mosely is best in pass coverage while depriest is a heady guy that will lead our lbs when the others leave.

    One of our corners has started since his true freshman year, former 5 star milliner. The other side will be named by a juco guy or former top 60 player and junior, fulton.

    We are slightly smaller than we were last year, but still huge compared to most.

    Interesting, you guys should be solid again, it'll be a great game this year. DeMatha would be a great school to build a pipeline into but it seems that's difficult to do at certain schools like that, schools that produce large volumes of talent each year.

  • Alabama has recruited better overall talent the last 3 years, including this past #1 class. Alabama also has more speed and athleticism. Michigan needs to out-smart and out-scheme Alabama from start to finish to pull the upset.
