  • Todd, how would you rank the elite OL we're in on for 2014 (Spain, Jones, Cole, McDermott, etc)?

    In a rush at the moment, but I'll answer this shortly.

    Thanks for all that info and I am outspoken on how much I really like Jones's film

    And Coles film does exist

    You're welcome! And yep, Cole just put it out today. I'll take a look in the morning and chime in.

    Think he would be a perfect G for UM. He is athletic and when asked to block down on the DT then get to the next level, LB, he does that well. Guess this goes for any high school kid he is inconsistent at times, I noticed it with his footwork. Also there are time he gets a hold of the defensive player and pushes him then takes a few steps then pushes him again, but then you see his get attached to the line player and just drive him to the ground.

    Just my 2 cents.

  • Great frame for an OL... Plays with high energy but does need some work... The good news is, if he were to come to Michigan, he would get time to acclimate himself to the B1G with the 2 OL hauls before him... I have a feeling the 2014 OL class is going to be right no par with the 12 and 13 classes and I LOVE IT!!!!

    Todd do you think coaches are willing to take a kid from another region such as Florida even if they know he is a tad behind other kids closer to home. Just to tell other kids that they can recruit outside there region.

    That's a great question, and I could see it going either way. The other side of the coin would be that it might be better to take the more local prospects, as they're more likely to go to your rival schools if you don't get them than a kid from Florida would be. But you also make a great point.

    My initial instinct is that the coaches take the best player, period, wherever he's from. Everything being equal, I think in-state prospects would get the first priority. After that (say there's one prospect from Illinois and one from Florida), I'm really not sure - could see it going either way.
