Harris' career: 9 catches for 60 yards and 2 solo tackles.

Canteen: 6 catches for 22 yards and a TD

Ways: 8 catches for 71 yards

They could have packed their three career's worth of receiving yards into 1 whole game. I wonder who was responsible for Hoke's WR recruiting.

How about FAU with Lane Kiffin?  He's got that program rolling.  Not sure how long he stays though.  I know a lot of people dislike him, but he is always trolling Saban (hysterically by the way), and is a really good interview.  I think he has grown up quite a bit and I am now starting to like him.

for a big time program?  i don't remember michigan (or any other school) having anywhere near this number of kids depart.  maybe it's standard procedure and i've not paid enough attention.

It's normal for 5th year non contributors to not come back. Speight was definitely not normal and younger guys like Hall (assuming he leaves), you might see a few a year but not a ton. So far I would say the only real surprise is Speight.

Because neither you nor the media pays as much attention to anyone else.



Speight is not that big of a surprise. There's no way he's going to be the QB next year as mediocre (at best) he's been these past two years with two hot shot young Harbaugh recruits ready to go.

I suspect if you find a program that had a coaching change that immediately started bringing in monster classes, you would find upper classes attriting in years 1 and 2 as the super freshmen pass them by.

literally every single year. I'm on mobile right now so not about to do the research. I think attrition was actually worse under RichRod. I think there was a class under Carr, the Atrain class, where half the class didn't finish up here.

ok, this is off the top of my head so I may not be 100 accurate, and the farther back I go the less likely I am to be accurate, but i'm going to go through a few of our recruiting classes and list the number who didn't finish up elgibility.  I won't count leaving early for pros against them.

2015: 5/14 didn't finish up their eligibility here so far

2014: 6/17

2013: 14/27

2012: 8/25

2011: 15/20

2010: 20/28

2009: 7/21

2008:11/24

It's more so a changing of the guard. A lot of these are Hoke recruits that didn't pan out or were beaten by newer Harbaugh recruits. At this point, the writing is on the wall and they're either being given a firm handshake, or they're looking for greener pastures on their own. I'm really curious to see what happens with Lawrence Marshall and Ian Bunting because while they didn't play a ton, they are valuable depth/special team players.

be interested in those OL recruits, seems like they don't work out because they couldn't crack it at their first school. However, if they are from Bama, Clemson, or Georgia....this could work out nicely for us! Are the coaches also that unhappy with the safety play or is it just a depth concern?
