With that speed and being a legacy, I would love to see him in this class.

Edwads will have his chance at the camp to earn that offer. Hoke and Co. don't care about stars so if he impresses them he will get his offer. I think it is dependent on a couple of things. He looks pretty quick on his tape if that quickness along with his speed stands out at the camp that will go along way to impress Hoke. Also, 5'10 is not a bad height for a running back and if he can carry like 205lbs or so and keep his speed and quickness he could be an every down back in the Big Ten. He seemed to have a low center of gravity and bounce of guys. If Hoke believes that will carry over to the college level then i could see Hoke giving him his offer.

i doubt he gets offered with probably 3-4 scholarships left and still high with some good 4 star players. he will get a grey shirt offer at best. if not that then don't look for him to be a wolverine. hes not a player that hoke goes after. he already signed norfleet. i doubt he takes another one like norfleet

Totally agree. It's not like Berkley is a poor player either. He is one of the fastest players in the state, probably has a huge advantage strength and conditioning wise since he's been working with his dad, and a passion for Michigan.

Tay Odoms, Drew Dileo, and Jeremy Gallon worked their way onto the field and made big plays, so not sure why a kid like Berkley couldn't do the same. Sure we are going to a different offense, but in 2 years the only two small guys would be Norfleet and Edwards so it isn't like everyone is sub 5-10.

not quite the same. We laughed at Ohio because they neglected a top 200 on 247, top 100 on another site, with 20+ national offers legacy. Edwards has three national offers outside the MAC. Not knocking Edwards ability because I'll never doubt someone based on rankings or schollys, but at least on paper its not the same comparison

McQuay has us in his top 3, Fuller top 3, Mathis top 3. Sitting well with Bailey, Harris, and Carrington as well. So its definitely not just LT at this point. I see no issue with building a relationship with Edwards after the camp without giving an offer.

i have to disagree with you. im not saying edwards cant play. i really dont know anything about him, but you dont give out scholarships just cause of his family. im gonna get real pissed off if they just start giving out scholarships just because they had family playing here. come on now. i think hoke knows more than us. he knows how much schollies are left and knows if berkley was needed than he would of offered. i dont think michigan needs three 3rd down backs on the team especially when were going to a pro style offense with the backs getting the ball atleast 25 times a game. we wasted a scholarship on jeremy jackson because of family and look at him now, he might never see the field. and its not just LT. i think we still have a chance at bailey carrington allen mcquay fuller and couple other guys. anything can happen in 7 months

Edwards is not better then Norfleet anyone who has seen both play will tell you that and I really like Berkley...but people need to cut it out with that comparsion there not even really the same type of back. I know they have similar mesurables, but that is where the comparison ends. Edwards is a one cut and go back... Norfleet is a make you miss, see you in the endzone type of runningback. If Edwards gets an offer I would assume it's towards the end of the recruiting process just like Norfleet, I hope he ends up getting one though as I love taking Legacy kids.

All i was attempting to show with ratings was that at least 2 scouting services think the kid is pretty good. I don't think he's better than York, and definitely doesnt fill a need like Csonte. I was replying to the poster who said just offering legacies is bad, which I totally agree with, to say this specific legacy is thought to be pretty good by at least 2 companies who are centered around ranking high school players and assessing talent.

I would like to see him get an offer, but he can only manage a very limited role. As a running back, V. Smith, J. Hayes, and D. Norfleet have that positional skillset locked up for the next 4-5 years. Perhaps he can come in and take that slot position, but he won't get an offer for that position until the coaches don't think Bailey is an option.

And I would say that Treadwell, McQuay, Bailey, and Augusta are all 4* with a legitimate chance of committing.

Plus, why not Miller, if we are going the family route. He has at least the recruiting profile of Edwards, has a skill set with far more utility to the team, and has a brother who is currently on the team. If I wasn't so high on McQuay, I would be cool with giving Edwards and Miller a spot, then leaving it up to Treadwell, Bailey, and Paul Harris to decide who takes the last spot.

I do not see an offer here, unless Coach Hoke and staff are being pressed by the football alumni. This is not a need pick IMO,
