Hell, it's already happening. Kickoffs have been moved up 5 yards and touchbacks come out the 25 now. Going to be a lot less returns now.

Not a whole lot different. THe entire purpose of the rule change was to discourage teams from returning kicks, and that is what it will do. There was originally a good balance where kick off returns on average would get a team out somewhere about the 20 yard line.

That balance is completely gone, and it simply won't make sense for teams to return kicks. Michigan may not see the scenario you describe all year long, and will likely have a single digit number of kick returns this year. In the future, Sippinwhiskey will play a much greater role on special teams than any of the quick backs on the roster.

that's why i put them from 1& to 99%. just throwing names in that has any interest even if we have a 1% chance with them. looks like the final 2 spots are gonna go to one of those 11 guys, with some of them being long shots like vhlll, fuller and bailey

I think we have a better shot than Green than you are giving us credit for. I'm not saying we have a great shot or we're the favorite or anything of that nature but there is a very real chance that he could be coming here and that is before he gets to sit down 1-on-1 with Brady.

As far as Berkley is concerned, we already have carbon copies of him in Norfleet and Hayes. If he really wants to be here his brother should pick up the tab and he could walk on, of course there are too many egos involved all around for that to happen but I really think that's the only way he's coming here.

IF we land Laquon and strike out on the rest of the guys then we need to be on the phone with Delano Hill with a scholly offer ASAP (honestly I want him more than anybody but LT, Green, or LMIII, Hill is going to be a stud and I would like it to be for us). I honestly do think that we get one of LMIII or Hill and our secondary is going to be flatout NASTY in the upcoming years. I'm really damn excited about what this defense has the potential to do once they get all this talent on the field. We are going to be deep, tough, and incredibly versatile. Brady/Borges/Mattison are the best things to happen to UM since Woodson and that '97 season.

Ego's? Kid has division 1 scholarships to schools like Cal and Minnesota and some of you want the kids family to pay his way here? Delusional and just ignorant. I like Berkley, but there is just no room... it's really that simple. No need for people whine about him not getting in the class by finding a way to make room or people to whine about why his family should pay his own way. He will have a good career wherever he goes and he will create his own path.

He's not complaining. He's just saying if he really wants to be here then he needs to walk on.

Probably about 30 percent at this point just based off his stated interest in Michigan.

Thanks, I didn't think what I said was that complicated. We don't need Berkley. Would he be nice to have? Sure, you can never have too much speed. Is he worth a scholarship at this point? Not a chance. If he is dying to come and play here then he can have his dad or brother pay for it and he can walk on just like Wanglers kid is planning to do (though admittedly he doesn't have as good an offer sheet but he has said that he is coming here no matter what).

Tremendous has an article up on Colby Grant who is an all-purpose RB from Pennsylvania.

Having watched Grant's tape, I prefer him to Berkley Edwards if the last spot came down to those two which I don't think it will.

Usain Bolt is taller and faster then braylon.....what about the physics at work on that one?
