I missed this sadly, but whoever put "How do I see the content?" in the middle of that made me laugh out loud and they may collect some MGoPoints if they come forward. The person who posted the "Test" thread could get some too, assuming that was a well-timed joke about recent server / coding struggles.

Wish him the best. I don't think he will play at all but let's give him a chance first.

This really shows how Harbaugh/Drevno/Pep feel about the young WR's. Black and DPJ are going to have big freshmen years. Watch out for Schoenle!

I'm assuming St Juste is redshirting and Harris is behind Keith Washington on the depth chart, but does he have a shot to take some snaps from Brandon Watson? Is this just a depth move so a couple of the younger guys can take a RS?

Thanks. It's something I've been curious about since we haven't seen how our punter will hold up yet. Kick offs I'm not so worried about. Feel like Nordin will boot them out of the end zone maybe even better than Kenny Allen over time.

Is it a bad sign that we are going after a grad transfer and moving Harris to cb? I'll take it that we don't have a lot of depth there but the starters are serviceable because I am an optimist.

Long and Hill should be better in my opinion. I think they just need some reps for confidence. I also like what I see out of washington and st.juste as they could start also. That's a lot of talent at cb. They will get better as the year goes on. I hope they redshirt Thomas. Umbig 11 is right that depth issue is at safety, but starters should be solid. Michigan's season will be determined mostly by how well the offense does, as we are solid on defense and I think will be among the country's best. Have no idea why Harris is being switched to cb.

Good move. He can still get spot reps at WR if needed. But the depth is unreal. IMO, the only snaps he had left we're up between he and Nico Collins. He'll get a shot to make an impact at DB. Awesome attitude as well...love it. Help the TEAM and do what you do Drake!

The Grant Perry front?  I know one is a slot and the other was a wide out, however the depth chart in the wr room is still up for grabs.  It's my opinion that if Perry comes back he is the starter at slot with Nate & Sho backing him up and maybe Martin as well....?  I know Both Mcdoom and NJ can also run x or y but you can't play 12 recievers.  Has anyone heard anything on Perry?

There's always room for a 6'4"/150lb injury-prone WR on the defenseive side of the ball.

I'm actually surprised the thought isn't free saftey actually. There are so many questions that jump out to me about this move. Harris doesn't profile like most WRs that move to CB. He isn't a guy you can tell go press and be an athlete, he isn't the quick twitch that you see at times. As said above, where are his hips? I haven't seen anything to suggest he has quick hips or an ability to open and turn. 

Looking at him as a free saftey in our system the plays a lot of single high could be interesting. I would have to assume he has the ability to run hash-to-hash and fighting for a jump ball would appear to be something that he has the talent to do. 

Going to see what inside info I can get on this one for sure.
