  • Gotta think it is PSU. We have Cameron Walker visiting for Spring Game so not worried about that position.

    I was actually thinking Notre Dame if he has an offer. They desperately need CBs after their last class fell apart (Darby and Shepard both gone), and he was supposed to be visiting there soon.

    Hard to say right now. We obviously got an early lead shortly after his visit, but he had glowing things to say about Wisconsin. And ND has done a great job of closing.

    He's supposedly going to visit for our B/W game...if he does, then I'll be confident in our chances. If not...I don't think he'll come to PSU, honestly.

  • I think we'll have a better feel for where Michigan stands once he returns home this weekend.

    agreed if he visits the B/W game I think he's yours. He's on campus right now and seems to be loving his visit. Tweeted he's hanging out with the Hawaiins which likely means Manti and Toma. Malik Zaire hit him up on twitter and started chatting about him becoming a Domer. Butler told Zaire to take this conversation private because folks are watching. His comments before the visit remind me of Jarron Jones last year when talking about his HS and how much alike ND is. Are lack of CB's has to intrigue a CB prospect, IMO. What does your depth chart look like at CB position? Michigan fans how do you feel with this kid? Manti Teo seems to be a hell of a recruiter. Jaylon Smith hit up Teo on twitter tonight and talked a bit. Told Manti he's his idol and that he was playing NCAA using #5.

    As bad as your depth chart might be, I don't think any program in the nation (DII schools included) have a worse depth chart than us.

    We started with 3 scholarship CB's this year. Coaches moved a WR over (he's a JR or SR), and another upperclassman was in trouble academically, but for now is still on the team - that makes 5. Of the other 3, one is a JR and one is a SR - and the JR isn't very good. We also have 1 or 2 three star CB's coming in as freshman. Got a few bodies, but nobody who is really all that talented.

    Finally, the 3rd remaining guy (a sophomore) is someone who would thrive at safety, but we don't have the bodies at CB, so we need to keep him there for now. And considering how bad our safety depth chart is (2 guys on scholarship), that's saying something.

    We have 5 scholarship CB's and one of those was moved from WR during spring ball last year. Bennett Jackson will likely start this year. 5 CB's on scholarship with 0 coming in later this summer. Butler moved his date up to April 11.

  • He's going to ND, him moving up his timeline is just further evidence. They definitely have a lot of playing time up for grabs at CB and he should take advantage of it.

    Steve, how would you compare his potential to Cameron Walker? Seems to me Butler has the edge on height and athleticism, while Walker has more polish and brings ferociousness.

    Our analysts really like Walker. Physical corner. I think both have a chance to be really good.

    I'd be really excited to see either one of 'em in blue goblue

    After my convoluted post (partially because I'm too lazy to look up the years of our guys), I'm quite sure we'll have around 3-4 scholarship CB's by the time he would step on campus. One of them isn't good, the other two will be low 3* freshmen this year.

    In the end, we can discuss details, but I still think our CB situation is worse than any D1 team's in the country.

    Butler will be a Domer. Would have loved to have him, but we've still got some very good DB recruits in our targets.

    That said...no doubt PSU is going to keep recruiting some of these guys. And personally, considering the ND schedule, I'd guess that your recruits would be the most susceptible to being flipped. Not saying I'd count on it, but I'd be a little surprised if at least a couple guys didn't flip later on, especially if you ended up with 5-6 losses. JMO.

  • There is a good chance he goes blue. He may have moved up his timeline because Fuller is visiting for the spring game.

    I am not getting a good feeling from the remaining DBs Michigan is after.

    Fuller is wide open and is visiting for the spring game so you never know there. Also Chris Hawkins is a big fan of Michigan.

    Fuller is probably going to VT and Hawkins committed to USC today.

    Fuller sounds like a VT or Clemson lean and Hawkins committed to USC today.

    You are correct, don't know why I said Hawkins but I meant Cameron Walker.
